Our Treatments
Minimal Invasive Spine
Surgery (MISS)
Minimal Invasive Spine
Surgery (MISS)
Minimal Invasive Spine Surgery (MISS)is a revolutionary approach for treatment of disc herniation and spinal stenosis, utilizing endoscopic or microscopic keyhole surgeries. This innovative technique offers several distinct advantages over traditional open surgery, including smaller incisions, reduced tissue damage, faster recovery times, and decreased risk of complications.
MISS offers patients a less invasive alternative to traditional open surgery, resulting in shorter hospital stays, quicker recovery times, and improved outcomes.
Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy is used to address various orthopedic conditions affecting joints such as the knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, and wrist. From repairing torn ligaments and cartilage to removing loose bodies and smoothing damaged surfaces, arthroscopy allows surgeons to perform precise interventions with unparalleled accuracy.
This minimally invasive technique involves inserting a small, specialized camera called an Arthroscope through tiny incisions into the affected joint, providing a magnified, high-definition view of the interior structures in real-time.
Joint Replacements
Joint Replacements
Joint replacement surgeries, also known as Arthroplasties have revolutionized the treatment of severe joint pain and dysfunction caused by conditions such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and other degenerative joint diseases. These surgeries involve removing damaged or diseased joint surfaces and replacing them with artificial implants made of metal, plastic, or ceramic materials.
By restoring normal joint mechanics and reducing inflammation, patients can experience significant relief from chronic joint pain and stiffness, allowing them to resume daily activities.
Paediatric Orthopaedics
Unlike adults, children's bones, joints, and muscles are still growing and developing, presenting unique challenges and considerations in their care. Pediatric orthopedic conditions encompass a wide range of congenital abnormalities, developmental disorders, and traumatic injuries affecting the bones, joints, muscles, and connective tissues. Common conditions include congenital limb deformities, developmental dysplasia of the hip, scoliosis, clubfoot, fractures, and sports-related injuries.
Treatment approaches in pediatric orthopedics are tailored to each child's individual needs.
Sports Medicine
Sports Medicine
Sports medicine is a specialized field of healthcare that focuses on the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of injuries and conditions related to sports and physical activity. In sports medicine, various surgical procedures may be required to treat injuries or conditions that affect athletes and active individuals. Some of the common surgeries performed in sports medicine include: Arthroscopic Surgery, Ligament Reconstruction, Tendon Repair, Fracture Repair, Cartilage Restoration and Decompression.
Orthopaedics Emergencies
Orthopaedics Emergencies
Orthopedic emergencies encompass a spectrum of acute musculoskeletal injuries and conditions that require immediate medical attention to prevent further damage and mitigate complications. Common orthopedic emergencies include fractures, dislocations, sprains, strains, and open wounds with bone exposure. In cases of severe trauma or suspected fractures, immobilization of the affected limb or joint is often the first step to prevent further injury and reduce pain. Prompt and appropriate management of orthopedic emergencies is crucial to minimize pain, restore function, and optimize outcomes.
Diseases/Ailments
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis
Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease characterized by the breakdown of cartilage, the protective tissue that cushions the ends of bones within jointsleading to pain, stiffness, and decreased mobility, particularly in weight-bearing joints such as the knees, hips, and spine. Osteoarthritis commonly affects weight-bearing joints such as the knees, hips, and spine, as well as the hands and fingers. Risk factors include aging, genetics, obesity, joint injuries, and overuse.
Herniated Disc
Herniated Disc
A herniated disc, also known as a slipped or ruptured disc, occurs when the soft inner core of a spinal disc protrudes through the tough outer layer, pressing on nearby nerves. This can result in pain, numbness, tingling, or weakness in the back, neck, arms, or legs, depending on the location of the affected disc. Herniated discs commonly occur due to aging, wear and tear, or sudden trauma.
Scoliosis
Scoliosis
Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that can occur in any part of the spine and at any age, but most commonly develops during adolescence. It can be mild or severe and may cause uneven shoulders, hips, or waist, as well as back pain and breathing difficulties in severe cases. The exact cause of scoliosis is often unknown, but factors such as genetics, abnormal spinal development, neuromuscular conditions, and spinal injuries may contribute.
Frozen Shoulder
Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder, also known as Adhesive Capsulitis, is a painful condition characterized by stiffness and reduced range of motion in the shoulder joint. It typically develops gradually and progresses through three stages: freezing, frozen, and thawing. The exact cause of frozen shoulder is unclear, but risk factors include age, gender (more common in women), diabetes, shoulder injury, and prolonged immobility.
Lower Back Pain
Lower Back Pain
Lower back pain is a common condition characterized by discomfort or stiffness in the lumbar region, between the rib cage and pelvis. It can range from mild to severe and may be acute or chronic. Causes include muscle strain, herniated discs, osteoarthritis, spinal stenosis, or underlying medical conditions. Risk factors include aging, poor posture, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and repetitive activities.
Joint Pain
Joint Pain
Joint pain refers to discomfort, soreness, or stiffness in one or more joints of the body, often accompanied by swelling, warmth, or redness. It can result from various causes, including injury, inflammation, infection, autoimmune conditions, or degenerative diseases like osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis. Joint pain may affect any joint in the body, such as the knees, hips, shoulders, or hands, and can range from mild to severe
