For relief from hip and knee pain due to arthritis, hip and knee replacement surgeries are suggested. Here, the hip and knee joints are replaced with implants. These surgeries are usually done for arthritic pain management in the final stages or following a fracture. We are skilled at these surgeries and patients are always happy with the mobility and the freedom they get from pain after these surgeries.
While the results from primary hip and knee replacement are very good, with time, a second surgery might be needed to replace with new prostheses. This is called a revision hip/knee replacement. This procedure is more complex than a primary hip replacement and is done for the patient to regain mobility.
Here, oxinium (which is an alloy) is the preferred material of choice to be used as an implant in relatively young patients (50-60 Years of age), as it has increased resistance to scratching and friction is also less. With the use of an implant made of oxinium, patients get an implant that can last longer.
Acute pelvic fractures are usually the result of high velocity road accidents and may be life threatening. Multi-disciplinary approach has saved many lives. Reconstruction of these fractures & acetabular fractures require special skill and training. Our doctors are experts in these.
For patients with massive rotator cuff injuries and those who suffer from shoulder damage due to arthritis, this surgery is suggested. As the ball and socket implants’ position is reversed, this surgery gets the name reverse shoulder replacement. We have performed this surgery successfully with satisfactory and long-lasting results.
