Fractures and Trauma

From simple fractures to complex multi-bone injuries, our team specializes in surgical and non-surgical treatments to restore function and mobility.

Spine Disorders

• Slipped Disc: A condition where the spinal disc protrudes, causing nerve compression and pain.
• Scoliosis: An abnormal curvature of the spine that may require bracing or surgical correction.

Pediatric Orthopaedics

Children may face unique orthopaedic challenges, such as developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), clubfoot, or congenital limb deformities. Our pediatric specialists ensure that young patients receive age-appropriate care.

Joint-Related Conditions Requiring Replacement Surgeries

Advanced arthritis, avascular necrosis, and severe joint injuries may necessitate joint replacement surgeries for pain relief and mobility restoration.

Joint Replacement Procedures

Joint replacement surgeries are life-changing procedures that restore mobility and alleviate pain for patients with severely damaged joints. Here are the types of joint replacement surgeries we offer:

Types of Joint Replacement Surgeries

• Knee Replacement: Replacing damaged cartilage and bone in the knee joint with prosthetic components. This procedure is highly effective for patients with advanced arthritis or knee deformities.
• Hip Replacement: This involves replacing the hip joint with artificial implants to treat conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or hip fractures.
• Shoulder Replacement: Used to address severe arthritis or rotator cuff damage, this procedure replaces the damaged joint surfaces of the shoulder.

Partial vs. Total Replacement Options

Depending on the extent of joint damage, patients may undergo partial or total joint replacement. Partial replacements involve replacing only the damaged portion of the joint, while total replacements replace the entire joint. Both options are designed to restore function and alleviate pain.

Minimally Invasive Techniques and Their Benefits

Minimally invasive joint replacement techniques involve smaller incisions, leading to reduced blood loss, less pain, and faster recovery times. These methods also minimize scarring and lower the risk of complications, making them a preferred choice for many patients.

Innovative Technology and Techniques

Our Arihant Multispeciality Hospital embraces innovation to deliver superior outcomes in orthopaedics and joint replacement. Below are some of the advanced technologies and techniques we employ:

Robotic-Assisted Joint Replacement

Robotic systems enable surgeons to perform highly precise procedures, enhancing implant placement and alignment. This technology reduces complications and ensures better long-term outcomes for patients.

Use of 3D Imaging and Custom Implants

3D imaging allows for detailed visualization of the joint, aiding in preoperative planning and surgical accuracy. Custom implants, designed specifically for individual patients, ensure a perfect fit and optimal functionality.
