  • Arthroplasty:
    The expert team of joint replacement surgeons performs all major surgeries related to joints – knee, hip replacements, shoulder, wrist, ankle, elbow routine, and revision arthroplasty. Joint replacement surgery, popularly known as Arthroplasty, reduces pain and disability in patients suffering from severe arthritis. The outstanding results in restoring functional mobility have established Life Care Hospital as a leading provider of arthroplasty in the region. Arthroplasty is a surgical intervention using a prosthesis (artificial joint) to restore the function of a joint by resurfacing the bones. Multiple kinds of arthritis affect joints, leading to loss of cartilage. Osteoarthritis or degenerative joint disease is the most common reason for arthroplasty. Hips, knees, and shoulders are the most common joints replaced. With fewer post-operative complications such as low infection, patients recuperate faster and resume their normal lifestyle. The time for recovery depends on factors such as age, lifestyle, and the replacement procedure.

Highly-experienced physiotherapists provide complete post-operative rehabilitation for all sports and ligament injuries.
  • Hip Replacement:
    Hip replacement is a surgical method to eliminate an arthritic hip joint, to make walking easier again. The damaged part of the hip joint is replaced with an artificial joint (prosthesis) to lessen the pain that adversely affects routine chores, to improve mobility in patients so that they do not require support all the time. At Life Care Hospital, Orthopaedic surgeons perform hip replacement surgery only after other types of non-surgical treatment methods fail to deliver good results. Hip replacement surgery, also known as Hip Arthroplasty, becomes the preferred option for those with severe joint damage caused by arthritis.
  • Knee Replacement:
    Damage caused due to arthritis – both rheumatoid and osteoarthritis – is the most common reason behind knee joint replacement. The procedure involves replacing a damaged knee with an artificial joint. Replacement knees can fit the needs and specifications, depending on age, health, and activity level. The dedicated joint replacement surgeons perform arthroplasty in routine, complex, complicated, and revision cases. Knee replacement surgery helps reduce pain and restores function in severely diseased knee joints. It is also known as knee arthroplasty and the procedure involves replacing the damaged portion with an artificial joint (prosthesis). The Orthopaedic surgeon finds out the range of motion, stability, and strength of the knee with the help of an X-ray to determine the extent of the damage. The age of the patient, activity level, weight, knee size and shape, and health of the patient are taken into account before choosing knee replacement prostheses and surgical techniques.
  • Manipulation Under Anesthesia:
    Manipulation under anesthesia is a minimally invasive surgical procedure aimed at relieving chronic pain and lessening stiffness in joints. It is a non-invasive procedure opted for when the pain becomes unmanageable through other conventional ways. It is designed to alleviate pain in patients suffering from chronic musculoskeletal problems in the knees, hips, shoulders, or toes. Besides, it leads to the breaking up of excessive scar tissue that accumulates after orthopedic surgery.
  • Sports Medicine:
    The Department of Orthopedic Surgery comprises the treatment and prevention of athletic injuries. Arthroscopic procedures on the knee, shoulder, and hip include the latest reconstructive procedures. Also, the physiotherapy department is a key component of the rehabilitation of these injuries
