The parts of a knee joint that can be replaced include the femur (the lower part of the thighbone), tibia (the upper part of the shin bone) and…
Osteoporosis’ which means ‘Porous bone’ is a bone disease characterized by low mineral density. This condition makes the bone weak, and brittle and increases the risk of fractures due to trivial fall.
Arthroscopy is derived from the Greek language and simply means "to look within the joint”. It is a type of keyhole surgical procedure, where orthopaedic surgeons use an arthroscope fitted with a camera and a bright light source to visualize, diagnose, and treat conditions of a joint.
The spine is the backbone that consists of 33 small bones forming a spinal canal. This spinal canal protects the spinal cord and nerves from damage, which transmits information from your brain to the rest of your body. These tiny bones have a range of motion allowing your body to twist, turn, bend and perform several other activities. The injury or…
The pelvis is a ring of bones at the base of the spine. The pelvis is the area below the abdomen and between the hip bones. The pelvic fracture can occur in people of any age group. It is common in elderly patients with fragile bones. Youngsters in sports and other activities may become the victim of pelvic fractures during accidents and falling from…
Deformity correction is a surgical procedure to straighten the bones that are twisted, bent, or formed abnormally due to certain disease conditions.
An intra-articular injection or joint injection is a procedure used in the treatment of inflammatory joint conditions such as arthritis, tendinitis, bursitis and Carpal Tunnel Syndrome. The procedure may also be used to withdraw excess fluid from the joints.
Joints are the points where two bones meet. These points make the skeletal system more flexible and aid in the easy movement of the body, like bending, twisting, and turning. Like every other organ in the body, even bones deteriorate and lose their strength affecting normal daily activities. It can be due to age, disease, or hereditary conditions.
A Laminectomy is a surgical treatment used for eliminating bone spurs, herniated discs, and spinal stenosis-related strain on the spinal cord or nerves. This pressure frequently affects the lower back and legs and can cause severe pain, numbness, or weakness. A Laminectomy can help restore function, increase mobility, and improve overall quality of…
This is a surgical procedure to correct misalignment in the skeleton where a bone is longer or shorter than its opposite. The misalignment is corrected by cutting or reshaping the bone to bring it back to normalcy. An osteotomy is often done as a way to delay or avoid hip or knee replacement surgery in the future.
Treatment for this condition depends on the cause and severity of nerve compression. Typically, pinched nerves are treated with physiotherapy, steroids (NSAID's corticosteroids, etc. However, in some cases, orthopedic surgery may be required to remove scar tissue or any other obstructive material that is interfering with the nerves.
This condition is also known as a ruptured or slipped disc. It irritates nearby nerves and results in pain, weakness or numbness in the leg or arm. The treatment for herniated discs is generally reduced activity, physiotherapy and surgical repair of the disc.
Advanced surgical procedures are carried out by specialists in the case of complex injuries in the muscles, bones, and ligaments that hinder the performance of professional athletes.

FAQ's
An orthopaedic surgeon (sometimes known as an orthopaedic doctor or just orthopaedic) is a musculoskeletal system expert. An orthopaedic surgeon treats diseases and problems affecting your muscles, joints, bones, ligaments, tendons, and nerves. Orthopaedics analyses your problem and helps you rehabilitate to regain strength, movement, and flexibility following an accident or surgery.
The Orthopaedics Department of Manipal Hospitals provides both general and surgical treatments.
-
General orthopaedics specialises in shoulder, knee, sports medicine, trauma, paediatrics, joint replacement surgeries, physiotherapy, and total hip and knee replacements.
-
The range of surgeries includes arthroplasty, ortho biologics, cartilage restoration, joint preservation treatments, fracture surgeries, complex articular reconstructions, salvage techniques for neglected trauma, and polytrauma management.
-
Sub-specialty operations include the treatment of congenital and developmental abnormalities in children, limb preservation and oncological reconstruction, and hand and wrist disorders.
Common orthopaedic operations include:
- Arthroscopic surgery for the knee, shoulder, elbow, wrist, hip, and ankle.
- Joint replacement surgery involves removing an arthritic or diseased joint and replacing it with an artificial one.
- Repair soft tissue damage, such as torn tendons or ligaments.
After acquiring general information about your health, our orthopaedics will analyse your medical history, current medications, and any chronic illnesses you may be suffering from and conduct a thorough physical examination. The doctor may ask you to undergo diagnostic imaging tests (X-rays and/or MRI) and any other additional tests to establish your body's overall health. Based on these findings, our doctors will decide what to do next and recommend an appropriate treatment plan.
Knee Replacement may be needed if nonsurgical treatments such as medication, physical therapy, and the use of a cane or other walking aid no longer relieve discomfort. When joint pain interferes with your ability to perform everyday tasks or disrupts your sleep, it may be time to consider joint replacement. We normally attempt to postpone total knee replacement as long as feasible in favour of less invasive options. However, if you have an advanced joint illness, knee replacement may provide pain relief.
We provide advanced joint replacement surgery for the hip, knee, shoulder, and elbow. These operations involve replacing damaged or diseased joint surfaces with artificial implants to alleviate pain, restore function, and enhance the quality of life for patients suffering from arthritis or other joint problems.
If you are experiencing persistent pain, swelling, stiffness, or difficulty in moving any part of your musculoskeletal system (bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons), it's advisable to consult an orthopaedic specialist. Additionally, if you have had a recent injury, or trauma, or notice any changes in your mobility or function, it's essential to seek medical attention.
The healing period varies depending on the type of joint replacement surgery and the patient's particular requirements. Patients often seek physical therapy to regain strength, mobility, and range of motion. Our staff provides thorough post-operative care and assistance to ensure a smooth recovery and a successful outcome.
Our spine surgeons have considerable experience doing decompression procedures, spinal fusion, disc replacement, and minimally invasive spine surgery. These operations attempt to relieve pain, stabilise the spine, and restore function for patients with diseases such as herniated discs, spinal stenosis, and spinal abnormalities.
Our dedicated paediatric orthopaedics excel at diagnosing deformities and disorders of the bones and joints in children, such as congenital bone anomalies, flat feet, knock knees and bow legs, torticollis or distorted neck, dislocated hip joint, bone tumours, trauma, and fractures. Our paediatric ortho specialists use their skills to undertake complex procedures to repair bones and joints, allowing these youngsters to walk and play normally.
