Orthopaedics

Trauma and orthopaedic is a speciality of medicine which deals with the diseases and disorders of the musculoskeletal system including, bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, nerves, etc.

The branch of medicine involves the invasive and non-invasive treatments of conditions that relates to the musculoskeletal systems. It has surgical and non-surgical methods for treatments of trauma, spine, sports injuries, infections and degenerative diseases. Modern orthopaedics has evolved for treatment of joint diseases caused by bodily wear or lifestyle choices and evolved with the replacements of joints like knee replacement, hip replacement etc.

Adult Joint Reconstruction

Total Knee Replacement Surgery:

A knee substitution operation is also termed as knee or knee arthroplasty. Prosthesis is used to replace the injured kneecap, shinbone and thighbone by the surgical use of the damaged bone and cartilage.

Total Hip Replacement Surgery:

Total hip replacement surgery called also as hip arthroplasty, is used to replace the injured hip joint with prothesis or an artificial hip joint of hard plastique, ceramic or metal.

Revision Hip Replacement Surgery:

Any wear and tear in the previous prosthetics are replaced through a revision hip replacement surgery.

Revision Knee Replacement Surgery including Rotating Hinge Knee:

Knee substitution prosthesis (Hinged implants) are commonly used for infections, unstability, bone loss, etc. In difficult circumstances, rotating rolls allowing local joint restoration or segmental bone replacement are highly useful for hinged implants.

Primary Complex Hip and Knee Replacement Surgery:

The surgery is performed in patients with an architecture and/or bone loss and/or weak tissues, typically resulting in an underlying primary disease because of secondary osteoarthritis

Orthopaedic Procedures at Fortis Hospitals

Total Knee Replacement

Knee replacement candidates include patients with serious knee joint degeneration due to extreme pain or knee defects or who have trouble moving about. Knee replacement is necessary to relieve knee discomfort or impairment mainly caused by arthritis or damage.

Total replacement of knee or arthroplasty is a safe and important operation in which a knee joint is clamped with a metal or plastic implant.

Replacement of Unicondyl knee: ensures quick healing and a minimal incision only

Total Hip replacement

Total Hip or arthroplasty is replaced by an artificial component by the damaged or deceased bone and cartilage. Depending on the patient, the artificial part is personalised.
It is frequently advised to enter hip replacement for patients with chronic pain or serious hip arthritis that are affected by their everyday routine.
Cemented substitution of hip
Total cement hip substitution: least complicated with prothesis fixation
Arthroplasty replacement hip resurfacing/surface
Cement with a fractured neck femur less bipolar/partial hip replacement for older people

Other Joint Replacements

Joint replacements are surgical procedures that involve replacing the damaged part of the joints with new ones.
Shoulder replacement
Elbow replacement
Ankle replacement

Shoulder Surgery and Care

The shoulder is the most mobile joint in the body, but because of the range of motion it can support, it is an unstable joint. Joint damage and degeneration are more likely as a result of this. The doctors at Fortis Hospitals in Bangalore have treated a wide range of shoulder problems, and with access to cutting-edge technology, they are at the forefront of shoulder surgery and care.

Trauma

Trauma is an acute damage to a musculoskeletal system portion. It is frequently triggered by a sudden crash. Sometimes orthopaedic trauma can change life. Our orthopedists are skilled in complex injuries involving bones, joints and soft tissues across the whole body (such as muscles, tendons and ligaments).
The patient is supported during all recuperation processes and an active lifestyle is ensured.
