Global Hospitals Preventive Care for Orthopedics Treatment Global Hospitals’ Orthopedic Institute brings together a team of highly qualified orthopedic surgeons to treat hip, knee and joint problems. Surgeons at the Orthopedic Institute see patients for a variety of orthopedic problems and conditions. Some of the common orthopedic issues treated here are: Treatments & Procedures
Post Traumatic Arthritis Knee Arthritis of Knee Arthritis of Hip Sports-related bone, tendon and ligament problems of the hind foot and ankle, including ankle instability, Achilles' tendon problems, ankle and subtalar arthroscopy, and reconstructive surgery. Shoulder Injury Hip Injury Knee Injury Forefoot deformities, such as bunions, hammertoes, digital neuromas, heel pain, tendonitis, acquired flat foot deformity, and late effects of clubfoot. Knee Injury Neuromuscular disorders affecting bones and joints. Fractures of Various Bones Fractures of Pelvis & Acetabulum Degenerative problems of joints Deformity correction Reconstruction of failed fractures
A unique hip and pelvis service forms an integral part of the institute of orthopedics and joint replacement. The hip is the largest joint in the body and the pelvis is the junction between the spine and the hip joints on either side. The problems of hip & pelvis that are treated by the institute are:
Development Dysplasia / Congenital Dislocation Hip joint slips out of its normal position in a newborn. Diagnosed early, it can be cured completely with or without surgery. Septic Arthritis of Infancy– Growing children may develop infection in the hip joint. Hip Fractures In case of hip fractures, the treatment is based on the impacted bone: Proximal Femur – This usually requires surgery Head of femur - A critical fracture to be treated appropriately by a specialist. Acetabulum - The socket of the hip joint when fractured can lead to a bad arthritis of hip, if not addressed properly. Surgery on such fractures requires special training, skill, and experience.
Pelvis Fractures -These can be a result of high velocity accidents and such injuries can lead to mortality unless treatment is given appropriately within a short time. Only a specially trained team can do subsequent reconstruction of the pelvis. Global Hospitals’ Hip & Pelvis service has the resources to undertake these complex problems successfully, a feat not achieved by many “premier” orthopedic centers in India.
Total Hip Replacement One of the path breaking medical innovations, it has evolved to give near perfect results. Total joint replacement involves surgery to replace the ends of both bones in a damaged joint to create new joint surfaces. To treat these orthopedic problems, some of the procedures commonly performed are: Minimally Invasive Heart Surgery Surgeons can diagnose and treat many types of bone and joint problems using minimally invasive techniques (Arthoscopy). Most minimally invasive orthopedic procedures are done with the use of an arthroscope, a special instrument designed for viewing and treating problems inside a joint. The arthroscope is fitted with a miniature camera high definition digital Aida2 and specialized lighting system that enables the structures inside the joint to be viewed on a monitor. The surgeon can attach special tools to the end of the arthroscope to shave, cut, or remove tissue or bone that are causing problems. Arthroscopic surgery is a treatment option for knee replacement surgery, orthopedic knee replacement, osteoarthritis knee replacement, and total knee replacement. Keyhole arthroscopic procedures like complete arthroscopic ACL reconstructions, meniscal repairs, and cartilage repairs are performed at the Institute. A complete post-operative rehabilitation protocol is provided for the enhanced recovery of the patient designed by a team headed by a physiatrist. In the shoulder, laberal tears, dislocations, impingement syndrome, are treated through arthroscopy of shoulder. In addition to arthroscopy of elbow, the procedure is also used to treat ankle and hind foot, thus helping quick return of normal function. All this and many more treatments such as Joint Replacement, Total Knee Replacement/Knee Joint Replacement, Hip Replacement/Total Hip Replacement, Hip Joint Surfacing, Revision Joint Replacement, Sports Medicines, Preventive Care and others are all available at Global Hospitals.
