Comprehensive post operative rehabilitation for all Sports and Ligament injuries are guided by an exclusive team comprising of 3 trained physio-therapists.

KEY HOLE SURGERIES - HIGHLIGHTS

Competent Arthroscopic surgical team

• Operation theatre with a dedicated team of surgeons, nurses, and anesthetists.
• State of the art Advanced arthroscopic equipment.
• Specialized Musculoskeletal radiologists and physiotherapists to ensure the best outcomes for the patients.
• Key hole surgeries are performed for knee, shoulder, ankle, hip and wrist joints.

ARTHROPLASTY:

Arthritis of the joints is rising in incidence thanks to our longevity. Arthritis affects the people from having normal mobility. The Joint replacement (Arthroplasty) unit of Ganga hospital helps in alleviating the pain and disability due to advanced arthritis through joint replacement surgeries.

Joints with newer bearing surfaces like ceramic on ceramic, modular hips with larger heads, augments for acetabular defects, rotating platforms for knee, metaphyseal sleeves for bone defects are all performed routinely in appropriate patients to achieve the best functional results in both primary joint replacements and revision arthroplasty.

Our extensive experience enables us to treat complex arthritic conditions with safety and low infection rates. This facilitates the patients to heal and recover faster with fewer post-operative complications.

• Ultra clean, spacious operating rooms, coupled with strict aseptic techniques and highly trained professionals enable results on par with international standards.
• Computer navigated joint replacement surgery is routinely performed for both difficult primary and revision surgeries to obtain perfect alignment consistently.
• Specialized anesthesia techniques (“nerve blocks”) ensure that the post-operative periods are less painful and comfortable for elderly patients and enable early mobilization
• Digital alignment Xrays for specific planning & templating for the most suitable sized artificial joints for each patient
• Latest and time tested high performance bearing implants are used

PAEDIATRIC ORTHOPAEDICS

The Paediatric Orthopaedic division of Orthopaedic surgery provides dedicated care to the musculoskeletal problems of children. Team of doctors, physiotherapists and physician assistants work together to provide optimal care to all the children admitted in the unit. A child is not a 'small adult' the tender musculoskeletal system behaves different from that of an adult. Moreover, they have growth potential which needs to be preserved for them to become mature adults. All these make children so special and thus the need for trained specialists to make sure that they get the best possible care.

Any musculoskeletal problem, be it a congenital deformity (birth defect), a fracture involving the growth plate or an infection can cause alteration in growth and deformity. Timely identification of the problem and right intervention will go a long way in preventing long-term disability. Specialised services of paediatric orthopaedics include pediatric trauma care and hip preservation. Hip Preservation Surgery is a specialty developed to preserve the native hip to its maximum function and postpone arthritis. Femoroacetabular impingement (FAI) and Hip Dysplasia are two leading causes of early arthritis and there are advanced surgeries available now to restore the normal anatomy and biomechanics of hip and thereby preserve its function.
