Treatment & Procedures
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 one of the most popular treatments for decompressing the spinal canal. By removing the lamina, the spinal canal is decompressed, lowering pressure on the spinal cord and cauda equina.
Cast Removal involves the process of removing the cast, which is a hard bandage that protects and immobilises bone to facilitate healing. The casts are usually made up of Plaster of Paris (POP) or fibreglass.
In the Orthopaedics Department, Hip and Knee Replacement surgeries are crucial procedures that significantly improve patients' quality of life. Hip Replacement means replacing the damaged ball and socket joint parts with carefully designed metal or ceramic implants. The femoral stem, ball, and socket are positioned precisely to reestablish the normal…
Osteoporosis is a disorder that weakens bones, resulting in decreased strength and density, thereby increasing the risk of fractures. Normally, bones are strong enough to sustain weight and endure shocks, but osteoporosis makes them brittle and more prone to breaking. Most of the time, people don't realise they have osteoporosis until they break a…
Intra-articular injections are medications administered directly into the joints to treat various joint conditions like arthritis, gout, bursitis, tendinitis, psoriatic arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, and sometimes osteoarthritis. Medications such as corticosteroids, local anaesthetics, hyaluronic acid, or Botox, when administered to the joints,…
A minimally invasive surgical procedure called Arthroscopy is used to identify and treat joint structural problems that could cause discomfort, instability, or dysfunction. Through tiny incisions, the surgeon performs the surgery by inserting an arthroscope, a thin tube fitted with a light source and video camera, into the joint. This makes it possible…
A pelvic fracture is a break in one or more of the pelvic bones or a dislocation of the pelvic ring. These fractures are relatively rare and can range from moderate to severe. Severe pelvic fractures often require surgical intervention. Various techniques are used to stabilise these fractures or dislocations, including both internal (inside the bone)…
Deformity Correction in orthopaedic surgery addresses bone abnormalities caused by trauma, congenital disorders, or illness. It involves precise planning and execution to achieve the best outcomes. Skilled orthopaedic surgeons use advanced surgical techniques to correct deformities, significantly improving patients' quality of life and mobility.

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.
