Underbensoperationer

Underbensoperationer encompasses a range of surgical procedures performed on the lower leg, the area between the knee and the ankle. These operations can address various conditions, including fractures, ligament tears, tendon injuries, and deformities. The specific type of surgery will depend on the underlying issue.

Fracture repair is a common reason for underbensoperationer. This may involve the use of internal fixation devices such as plates, screws, or rods to stabilize broken bones, allowing them to heal correctly. For ligament or tendon injuries, surgical intervention might be necessary to reconstruct or repair damaged tissues, restoring stability and function to the joint. This could involve techniques like grafting or suturing.

Deformities of the lower leg, whether congenital or acquired, can also be corrected through surgery. These procedures aim to realign bones or soft tissues to improve gait and reduce pain. Recovery time and rehabilitation strategies vary significantly based on the complexity of the surgery. Physiotherapy is typically a crucial part of the recovery process, helping patients regain strength, flexibility, and mobility in the affected limb. Potential risks associated with any surgical procedure, such as infection, bleeding, or nerve damage, are also factors considered in underbensoperationer.
