Bone and joint disorders are increasingly common today, with various causes. These may include accidents leading to fractures or ligament tears, as well as work-related or strenuous activity injuries, such as back pain, herniated discs, neck pain, trigger finger, and joint pain (such as knee or ankle pain and inflammation). Congenital conditions, such as clubfoot or scoliosis, and infections causing inflammation can also impact daily mobility and activity.

“The Orthopedic Clinic” aims to help patients return to normalcy and regain a good quality of life. We are ready to provide assistance and rehabilitation for those suffering from acute or chronic bone and joint injuries or disorders.

Minimally Invasive Intramedullary Nailing Surgery by Dr. Kanokpol Thanakitroongtavee, Orthopedic Surgeon at Ruampat Chachoengsao Hospital, is a treatment for patients with fractures. This procedure involves creating a small incision to insert a metal rod to stabilize the fractured bone.

 

• The advantages of this treatment are a small incision, no need to cut through muscles, minimal blood loss, quick patient recovery, and the ability to bear weight and walk immediately after surgery.The metal rod inserted into the bone cavity is lightweight, rust-resistant, and made of titanium. Removal of the rod is generally unnecessary unless abnormal pain or rod displacement occurs, allowing it to remain in place without additional surgery costs. This reduces the need for corrective surgery due to nonunion or malunion, which can happen with traditional plate fixation methods.
• Most patients treated with this method commonly experience fractures due to various accidents, with leading causes being car and motorcycle accidents, falls, and sports-related injuries.
• This patient suffered a leg fracture due to a car accident. Dr. Kanokpol Thanakitroongtavee, an orthopedic surgeon, performed the procedure. During the surgery, the doctor used a Digital C-arm to guide the precise insertion of the metal rod into the bone cavity. This advanced technology provides real-time imaging, allowing the surgeon to monitor the position of the rod instantly as it is moved. The equipment used in the operating room at Ruampat Chachoengsao Hospital is on par in clarity with that found in top hospitals in Thailand.

• Therefore, patients can trust the expertise and advanced technology available at Ruampat Chachoengsao Hospital. When you come to us with an injury, we will provide you with the best possible care.

• Trust, safety, and effective treatment are delivered by our team of expert, modern physicians at Ruampat Chachoengsao Hospital.
