Joint replacement for hip, knee and shoulder
Joint replacement is a surgical procedure in which the effected joint is replaced by a prosthetic implant. Joint replacement surgery is generally conducted to relieve pain in arthritis or in some cases of hip, knee and shoulder fractures. Commonly replaced joints are hip, knee and shoulder.
Hip, knee or shoulder replacements is most commonly performed for osteoarthritis. However, may also be done in cases of rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, Ankylosing Spondylitis.
At Unity Hospital joint replacements are conducted regularly with results which are at par with International Centers.
Arthroscopic surgery of knee and shoulder
Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure during which the internal structure of a joint is examined for diagnosis and treatment by using small incisions only. It is also called a key hole surgery.
Arthroscopic surgery may be conducted in the following situations:
Spine Surgery
Spine surgery is a branch of orthopedics surgery dealing with anatomical degenerative and traumatic disease of the spine. We are equipped to treat Spondylosis, disc prolapse, TB of the spine and traumatic spinal fractures. However, technological advances have allowed more back and neck conditions to be treated with a minimally invasive surgical technique. Thereby reducing the length of incision, minimal post operative pain and rapid recovery after surgery.
Paediatric Bone and Joint Surgeries
Children are not just small adults. This is especially true when it comes to childrens’ bones and joints, and the problems they can have with their musculoskeletal system. We take care of:
Advanced Fracture Fixation
Internal fixation is a procedure in orthopedics that involves the surgical fixation of bones using metallic implants. Internal fixation refers to fixation of screws and/or plates, intramedullary bone nails (femur, tibia, humerus) to enable or facilitate healing.
At Unity we ensure that every patient receives tailor made surgical fixation using most advanced technology and the best implants available.
