Plavix (clopidogrel) should generally be resumed after orthopedic surgery based on the patient's individual risk factors for thromboembolism and bleeding. Typically, it may be restarted 24 to 48 hours post-surgery if hemostasis is achieved and the risk of bleeding is deemed acceptable. However, the exact timing should always be guided by the orthopedic surgeon and in consultation with the patient's healthcare team. Always follow specific medical advice tailored to the individual's situation.

Is it normal to have a catheter put in you when having hernia surgery?
Yes, it is normal for patients to have a catheter inserted during hernia surgery, especially if the procedure is performed under general anesthesia. The catheter helps manage urinary function during and immediately after the surgery, as patients may be unable to use the bathroom while recovering from anesthesia. However, not all patients will require a catheter, and the decision is typically based on the specific circumstances of the surgery and the patient's health.

An Orthopedic Surgeon’s Fields of Specialization?
An orthopedic surgeon specializes in musculoskeletal manipulation and surgery and works on a patient’s bones, muscles, ligaments and tendons to counter the effects of, among other things, sports injuries, degenerative diseases and cancerous tumors. There are several different fields of orthopedic surgery that a surgeon can choose to work in, and some of these fields are injury-specific - the doctor will only deal with injuries to a certain part of the body - while others are age-specific. If a surgeon chooses to work in pediatric orthopedics, for instance, he will deal only with orthopedic issues found in children and young adults, which include things like congenital birth defects and birth injuries. Surgeons specializing in the fields of musculoskeletal oncology, sports injuries and orthopedic trauma concentrate on the muscular and skeletal issues that relate to specific types of diseases or injuries. The field of musculoskeletal oncology, for instance, deals with the orthopedic side-effects that arise from various types of cancer, especially bone cancer. Sports injuries are many and varied, and an orthopedic surgeon’s input will almost always be needed to ensure that the injury is treated correctly. Those surgeons specializing in orthopedic trauma, on the other hand, will deal with muscular and skeletal injuries arising for car accidents and similar traumatic events. Those sub-fields of orthopedic surgery that relate to the orthopedic manipulation of specific areas of the body include spine surgery, arthroplasty (joint replacement) and hand surgery. Further such fields would be those that concentrate on elbow/shoulder surgery and ankle/foot procedures. Arthroplasty in particular is extremely specialized and involves replacing all or part of a deformed or diseased joint with a synthetic material. Hip, knee and shoulder replacements are all common and can become a necessity for a variety of reasons including congenital dislocation, osteoarthritis, frozen shoulder and chronic stiffness of the joint. An orthopedic surgeon’s projects can show great diversity and range from carpel tunnel release and repairing ankle fractures to lumbar spinal fusion and reconstruction of the knee’s ACL (anterior cruciate ligament). Orthopedic surgeons can literally make the lame walk, and, given the recent improvements in technology, there is now almost no limit to what they can do.

What type of anesthesia is used for orthopedic surgery?
It depends upon a number of factors concerning the patient and surgeon and anesthesiologist preference. General anesthesia can be administered and the patient can be rendered totally unconscious. Breathing is provided by a Anesthesia Machine via an endotracheal tube (breathing tube) in the patient's trachea. Alternatively regional anesthesia can be adminstered, either a spinal, epidural, or combination of nerve blocks. During the surgery, the patient is given light sedation and allowed to rest comfortably during the procedure. A spinal is a single injection of a local anesthetic and/or narcotic into the spinal fluid, below the spinal cord. It numbs the area from approximately mid-chest down. An epidural uses a small catheter about the size of a fishing line and does not penetrate as far as the spinal. Local anesthetic and/or narcotics are used as well. The advantage of this is that it can be redosed with medication if the surgery proceeds longer than expected and can be used afterwards for pain control as well. As always, a thorough discussion with your Surgeon and Anesthesiologist should be undertaken prior to your Surgery to decide which options are available and which is best for you.
