ARTHRITIS
Arthritis is the swelling and tenderness of one or more joints. The main symptoms of arthritis are joint pain and stiffness, which typically worsen with age. The most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis causes cartilage — the hard, slippery tissue that covers the ends of bones where they form a joint — to break down. Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease in which the immune system attacks the joints, beginning with the lining of joints.

KNEE REPLACEMENT
Knee replacement surgery — also known as knee arthroplasty (ARTH-row-plas-tee) — can help relieve pain and restore function in severely diseased knee joints. The procedure involves cutting away damaged bone and cartilage from your thighbone, shinbone, and kneecap and replacing it with an artificial joint (prosthesis) made of metal alloys, high-grade plastics, and polymers. In determining whether a knee replacement is right for you, an orthopedic surgeon assesses your knee’s range of motion, stability, and strength. X-rays help determine the extent of the damage. Your doctor can choose from a variety of knee replacement prostheses and surgical techniques, considering your age, weight, activity level, knee size and shape, and overall health.
SPINE SURGERY
Minimally invasive Spine surgery is done using cutting-edge technology and specialized instruments to accomplish the same clinical outcomes as traditional open surgery through a less traumatic approach and to improve on side effects. With these smaller incisions, there’s less trauma or disruption of the soft tissue around the spine, which typically results in less blood loss, lower rates of infection, and faster recovery. The indications for minimally invasive spine surgery are relatively similar to open surgery. Several conditions can be treated with this technique, such as:
TRAUMA
Trauma surgery is a major branch of orthopaedic surgery, treating many trauma-related problems that are caused by road. Traffic accidents, trivial trauma and many other means. A Highly experienced and skilled trauma surgeon, who cater to a large number of trauma-related problems. Road–traffic accidents, industrial accidents, pedestrian injuries and falls at home can result in trauma, like fractures, joint dislocations and complex trauma involving the spine and pelvis and also compound trauma with open wounds.
HIP REPLACEMENT
Hip replacement surgery is a procedure in which a doctor surgically removes a painful hip joint with arthritis and replaces it with an artificial joint often made from metal and plastic components. It usually is done when all other treatment options have failed to provide adequate pain relief. The procedure should relieve a painful hip joint, making walking easier. Also called total hip arthroplasty, hip replacement surgery might be an option for you if your hip pain interferes with daily activities and nonsurgical treatments haven’t helped or are no longer effective. Arthritis damage is the most common reason to need a hip replacement.
ARTHROSCOPY
Arthroscopy/keyhole surgery is a minimally invasive joint surgery technique, used to visualize the joint through a camera (scope) and to perform evaluation/repair of the problem. It is nowadays a very advanced technique used to treat most of the sports injuries, that aid in better treatment and faster recovery due to the minimal invasion into the joint, having better prognosis less chance of infection and faster recovery and return to daily routine/work. Done as a day case procedure. The knee joint structure internally is highLY complex, owing to the range of movement it provides along with the functions associated with it.
SPORTS INJURIES
- Arthroscopic ACL Reconstruction
- PCL Reconstruction
- Arthroscopic meniscal repair
- PRP (Platelet Rich Plasma)
Sport injuries include a large group of conditions that occur mostly in individual associated with sporting / with an active life style with outdoor activity participation. Sports injuries include a large horizon of conditions like ligament sprain / tear, meniscal avulsion, fracture’s capsule tears, spram, muscle tears, tendon rupture fractures of the articular surface etc involving the upper and lower limbs.
MENISCAL INJURIES
- Meniscal injuries (disc injuries) of the knee joint are also very frequently associated with an ACL injury and are cause by an injury during sports activities, outdoor activities, and trauma. A variety of meniscal can occur, like tear in the menisci with a wide pattern for injury and also location, causing a RAMP lesion, root lesion or a mid-substance tear. Meniscal injuries are repaired / treated using arthroscopy of the joint and include suturing of the defect root repair, ramp repair and also meniscectomy (partial / total) depending on the lesion. ReGrow (Autologous chondrocyte implantation – ACI) (stem cell therapy). Due to the rigorous sport activities, some individuals develop defects in the articular cartilage of the joint, mainly in the medial femoral condyle and PFJ, where a part of the cartilage gets damaged.
PEDIATRIC ORTHOPAEDICS
- A large variety of pediatric orthopedic problems occur during the course of growth of a child.
- The treatment of orthopedic conditions in a child is different from that of an adult, due to their growth potential, pattern of growth.
- A variety of conditions occur in children / new born during their growth period / birth.
- Common congenital conditions:
- CTEV / club foot
