Treatments

Specialised care and treatments offered

ROTATOR CUFF TEAR REPAIR

Rotator Cuff Tear Repair

The rotator cuff stabilizes shoulder movement but can be prone to tears due to injury or degeneration. Surgical repair restores shoulder strength & function when conservative measures fail.

  • Pain at rest & during overhead activity accompanied by weakness;

OSTEOARTHRITIS DIAGNOSIS AND MANAGEMENT

Osteoarthritis Diagnosis and Management

A common joint disorder affecting millions worldwide is osteoarthritis — characterized by gradual cartilage loss causing joint pain and stiffness. Early diagnosis paired with appropriate management can slow progression effectively.

  • Main symptoms: Joint tenderness after activity, decreased flexibility, swelling during flare-ups particularly in weight-bearing joints like knees or hips are typical complaints.
  • involves clinical examination supported primarily by X-ray imaging showing cartilage thinning & bone spur formation;

FRACTURE MANAGEMENT WITH INTERNAL FIXATION

Fracture Management with Internal Fixation

Treating broken bones effectively is crucial for proper healing. Internal fixation uses hardware such as plates, screws, or rods placed surgically inside the body to stabilize fractures while they heal naturally over time.

  • Causative events: Fractures typically result from accidents, falls, or sports injuries causing bone discontinuity requiring realignment.
  • Evolving diagnostic tools: Imaging tests including X-rays are essential for evaluating fracture type and displacement extent before planning treatment.
  • Surgical treatment plan: Rigid internal implants hold fractured fragments securely in correct position promoting optimal bone regeneration.
  • Healing pathway: Patients undergo postoperative monitoring with serial imaging; rehabilitation facilitates restoration of strength around the injured site.

This method ensures anatomical alignment improves recovery speed and reduces complications compared to non-operative fracture care approaches.

SPINAL DECOMPRESSION SURGERY

Spinal Decompression Surgery

Nerve compression in the spine can cause debilitating symptoms such as pain, numbness, or weakness. Spinal decompression surgery aims to relieve pressure on spinal nerves caused by conditions like herniated discs or spinal stenosis.

  • Symptoms include: Radiating limb pain, tingling sensations, muscle weakness, or difficulty walking due to nerve irritation.
  • Diagnostic techniques: MRI scans provide detailed images of soft tissues helping pinpoint exact areas of nerve compression alongside clinical neurological exams.
  • Surgical methods: Procedures vary from minimally invasive microdiscectomy to laminectomy depending on severity and location of compression.
  • Recovery details: Rehabilitation focuses on spine stabilization exercises; most patients notice symptom relief within weeks post-surgery.

The goal is improved function and reduction of neurological deficits by carefully decompressing affected spinal structures while preserving stability.

TOTAL HIP REPLACEMENT

Total Hip Replacement

Severe hip joint damage can greatly impair daily activities. Total hip replacement is a surgical procedure that substitutes a worn-out hip joint with an artificial implant to restore mobility and alleviate pain.

  • Common causes: Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or traumatic injury lead to cartilage wear and bone erosion in the hip joint.
  • Diagnosis: Clinical evaluation combined with X-rays and sometimes CT scans help determine the extent of joint degeneration.
  • Surgical intervention: The damaged femoral head and acetabulum are removed and replaced with metal or ceramic prostheses designed for longevity and stability.
  • Postoperative care: Early mobilization under expert supervision enhances outcomes; patients should expect gradual improvement over several months.

This procedure significantly improves quality of life by reducing pain and restoring functional independence for those affected by advanced hip disease.

ARTHROSCOPIC KNEE SURGERY

Arthroscopic Knee Surgery

Minimally invasive surgery techniques have revolutionized the way knee joint issues are treated. Arthroscopic knee surgery involves using a small camera, called an arthroscope, to diagnose and treat problems inside the knee joint without large incisions.

  • Symptoms and causes: Patients often suffer from persistent knee pain, swelling, stiffness, or mobility limitations due to injuries such as meniscal tears or ligament damage.
  • Diagnostic process: An initial assessment includes a physical exam, X-rays, and MRI scans to identify cartilage damage or torn ligaments.
  • Treatment approach: Small instruments inserted through tiny incisions allow surgeons to repair or remove damaged tissue, improving function and reducing pain.
  • Recovery expectations: Recovery is typically quicker than open surgery; physiotherapy plays a key role in regaining strength and motion.

This technique offers patients effective relief with less trauma, faster healing times, and smaller scars compared to traditional open procedures.
