Orthopaedic Surgery India

Pediatric orthopaedics:

The treatment of children with musculoskeletal problems remains an integral part of modern orthopedic surgery. Many fractures and injuries occur in children due to their high activity level and unique immature skeleton. Treatment of fractures in children is different than adults due to active growth plates in their bones. Damage to the growth plate can lead to significant problems with later bone growth, and at-risk fractures have to be monitored with care.

The treatment of scoliosis is a mainstay of pediatric orthopaedics. For poorly understood reasons, curvature develops in the spine of some children, which if left untreated leads to undesirable deformity and may progress to cause chronic pain and breathing problems. The treatment of scoliosis is quite complicated and often involves a combination of bracing and surgery.

Children have other unique musculoskeletal conditions that have been a focus of orthopedics since Hippocrates, including conditions such as club foot and congenital dislocation of hip (also known as developmental dysplasia of the hip). In addition, infections in bones and joints (osteomyelitis) in children are common. In the US, specialized hospitals such as the Shriners hospitals have provided a substantial portion of treatment for children with musculoskeletal deformities and diseases.

Hip Replacement Surgery:

Hip replacement surgery involves replacing the femoral head � the "ball" of your thighbone � with a metal ball. The metal ball attaches to a metal stem that fits into your thighbone. A plastic and metal socket is implanted into your pelvic bone to replace the damaged socket. The prosthetic parts which mimic the natural design of your hip, fit together and function like a normal hip joint.

Artificial hip joints come in many varieties. Generally your surgeon decides which hip joint is the best for you. Materials used in making the prostheses include a combination of durable, wear-resistant plastic and metals, including stainless steel and titanium. Implants are biocompatible � meaning they're designed to be accepted by your body � and they're made to resist corrosion, degradation and wear.

Hip replacement surgery usually takes two to three hours, during which time you'll be under general or regional anesthesia. During the operation, the surgeon separates your thighbone from the socket. Working between the large hip muscles, the surgeon removes the diseased or damaged bone and tissue, leaving healthy bone and tissue intact. The artificial socket is pressed into place. The top end of the thighbone is hollowed out to allow insertion of the metal stem with the attached ball. The ball and the socket join to form the new hip joint.

Knee Replacement Procedure:

During the procedure, your knee is in a bent position so that all surfaces of the joint are fully exposed. After making an incision between 6 and 12 inches in length, your surgeon moves aside your muscles, kneecap and connective tissues and cuts away the damaged joint surface. He or she takes measurements to ensure a good fit for your new prosthesis and smoothens your bones' rough edges. The surgeon then inserts the prosthesis. Before closing the incision, he or she bends and rotates your knee, testing and balancing it to ensure that it functions properly. Some people choose to have both knees replaced at the same time.

Neck surgery:

Neck surgery has made major advancements in both technique and spinal instrumentation/implants over the past couple of decades, but by far the most significant advancement in Neck surgery has been better preoperative imaging techniques. Specifically, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI scan) has revolutionized spine surgery. It is most often the best test to identify an anatomical lesion responsible for the patient�s problem. The most important factor in the determination of the success in spine surgery is proper preoperative diagnosis. Without an accurate preoperative diagnosis, even the most technically successful surgery has little chance for a successful outcome.

Although Neck surgery is performed by either orthopedic surgeons or neurosurgeons, it is increasingly becoming a field unto itself. Many surgeons are doing additional specialized training in the field after their residency training (fellowship training). Given the precision required for these more demanding surgical techniques, many orthopedic or neurosurgeons with fellowship training are choosing to focus more of their practice on spine surgery. Some believe that the increased level of specialty training and focus on the spine has contributed to enhancements in surgical technique, which in turn has led to overall improved success rates and reduced morbidity.

Technique of the ACL Surgery:

The Arthroscopic ACL Reconstruction is the incidence of post operative neuromas of the infrapatellar branch of the saphenous nerve. Doctors prefer the patellar tendon as a graft, although recent reports have found no significant difference between patellar tendon and hamstring grafts. In a revision reconstruction they may choose to use allograft if available.

Orthopaedicians in India do not see many knee injuries in sportsmen but more injuries in two wheeler accidents. Arthroscopically doctors can inspect the rest of the knee for concomitant damage. Meniscal and cartilage tears can be addressed arthroscopically.
