Collaborative approach –

Our department employs a collaborative and multidisciplinary approach, integrating expertise from various medical fields to deliver comprehensive care. By working closely with specialists in trauma, radiology, pathology physical therapy, and other areas. We incorporate department of plastic surgery, peripheral vascular surgery and musculoskeletal oncology to deal with patient of varying illness and we ensure holistic treatment plans and optimized patient outcomes. This teamwork fosters innovative solutions and enhances the quality of care across all orthopaedic conditions

Expert care for particular age group

We provide expert care tailored to both pediatric and geriatric patients. For pediatric cases, our specialists focus on growth-related musculoskeletal conditions and developmental issues, ensuring age-appropriate, compassionate treatment. For geriatric patients, we address age-related conditions such as osteoarthritis and fractures, employing specialized approaches to manage complex health needs and improve quality of life.

Important test and procedures -

Here are some important tests and procedures commonly performed in orthopaedics:

X-ray - Basic imaging to assess bone structure and detect fractures or joint issues.
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) - Detailed imaging to visualize soft tissues, cartilage, and ligaments.
CT Scan (Computed Tomography) - Advanced imaging for complex bone fractures and detailed joint evaluation.
Arthroscopy - Minimally invasive procedure using a camera to diagnose and treat joint problems.
Bone Biopsy
Ultrasound (Musculoskeletal ) - Imaging technique to evaluate soft tissue and joint conditions.
Electromyography (EMG) - Test to assess muscle and nerve function.
Joint Aspiration - Procedure to withdraw fluid from a joint for diagnostic or therapeutic purposes.
Arthroplasty - Surgical procedure to replace or repair a damaged joint.
Osteotomy - Surgical procedure to cut and reshape bones to correct deformities or improve function.
Ilizarov/ limb reconstruction surgery
Deformity correction
