The Department for Orthopaedics treats muscle, bone and joint disorders. Areas of special emphasis include arthritis, joint replacement, spine surgery, sports medicine, physical medicine, hand, foot and ankle, and trauma.
Our orthopaedic surgeons at Aashka Hospital have diverse expertise and are committed to providing effective solutions to orthopaedic problems. Specialized services include arthroscopy, musculoskeletal surgery and reconstruction, rheumatology and treatment for all kinds of fractures.
Services Offered at Aashka Hospital:
The Centre offers all types of joint replacement to restore freedom of movement and relieve the pain of degenerated and diseased joints. Some of the latest techniques offered are cementless implants for a customized fit thus prolonging the life of the replacement.
Total Knee Replacement
For knees that are severely damaged due to disease or injury, total knee replacement is the best option. Most patients are ambulant from the day after surgery and are discharged on the fifth day. The latest Hi-flexion fixed bearing and mobile bearing designed knee components and those specifically designed for women (gender solution knees) are routinely used.
Total Hip Replacement
This is usually undertaken in patients who have had their hip joints destroyed due to injury or diseases like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, etc. Hip resurfacing and replacements using ceramic implants are done for relatively young active patients.
Total Shoulder / Elbow Replacement
Joints like the elbow and shoulder, which are damaged due to diseases like rheumatoid arthritis or due to traumatic injury are treated with total joint replacement. Orthopaedic surgeons also perform joint replacement surgery for other major joints including the elbow, ankle, shoulder, and wrist joints.
Orthopaedic Trauma
Traditionally, many bone injuries caused by trauma were repaired using immobilisation devices placed outside the body. Our orthopaedic surgeons are masters in using devices that are surgically placed on or in the injured bones. Those devices provide strong support and can be used in treating fractures of the pelvis, thighbone, hip, foot, and ankle.
Arthroscopic Surgery
The facilities in arthroscopy include the video arthroscope for the knee, shoulder and hip, the smaller scope for the wrist elbow and ankle, a complete power shaver system, a pressure-sensitive pump for joint distension and an arthroscopic electronic power system.
Sports Medicine
We offer excellent care in sports-related injuries of the joints and ligaments. Arthroscopic techniques are used in cruciate ligament repair, meniscal repair, cartilage transfer, MPFL reconstruction, and multiple ligament-injured knees. Ilizarov technique is also available.
We treat orthopaedic disorders as well as correction of congenital deformities like club foot, congenital rocker bottom foot and club hand on a routine basis. Severed limb implantation is done with the help of experienced plastic and vascular surgeons. Management of fracture pelvis and acetabular fracture fixation are undertaken routinely.
