Treatment & Services

There are certain deformities and problems related to our musculoskeletal system. Some of these are:

Fractures

A fracture is a condition in which a bone breaks partially or completely due to overuse, trauma or the weakening of the bone tissues. Even after treating fractures, problems may occur like Nonunions, in which a fracture fails to heal, and Malunions, in which fracture heals in the wrong way.

Osteoarthritis

It is the most common form of arthritis which affects millions of people worldwide. It happenswhen the protective cartilage at the ends of the bones wears down with time. The joints most commonly affected by osteoarthritis are hands, knees, hips and spine.

Inflammation of joints

Joint inflammation occurs when the immune system or damaged tissue around a joint releases chemicals leading to swelling and redness in a joint. Certain medical conditions can lead to inflammation of multiple joints like arthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosisi etc. Those having symptoms of arthritis should immediately consult the Orthopedic Hospital in Pune for a timely treatment.

Bone concerns

It refers to the structural heart defects present from birth. These defects include the following: Septal defects in which there is a hole in the heart, Abnormal heart valves in which the valves are not opened or there is leakage of blood, and Atresia in which one of the valves or blood vessel in the heart is missing

Spinal deformities and pain

Spinal deformity is a condition in which there is an abnormality in the curve or the alignment of the spine. It can be caused due to normal wear and tear overages. Common causes of back or neck pain areBack Muscle or Ligament Strain, Slip Disc , Spinal stenosis and bone spurs, Osteoporosis, Scoliosis or spinal instability, Infections or Spinal Tumor.

Joint Dislocation

It is an injury in the joint that causes immobilization and deformity in the joint. This injury or dislocation of the joint forces that particular joint to force out from its normal or original position. This mostly happens after a fall, accident or sports injury.

Sports injuries

Injuries during sports can include bruises, muscle strains, sprains, tears, and broken bones. Soft tissues like muscles, ligaments, tendons, fascia, and bursae may be affected during sports.

Joints are an important part of our body that makes us flexible and allow us to do certain movements. We can not even imagine our daily lives without having joints in our body.

Due to some severe injuries or with increasing age, a lot of people live with joint pain. Joint pain can put a full stop in our daily activities. It can restrict us from doing many regular things like bending, sitting, walking, etc.

Orthopaedics is the branch of medical science that deals with the diagnosis and treatment of all the diseases and disorders related to the musculoskeletal system. This musculoskeletal system includes bones, joints, tendons, ligaments and muscles. The Department of Orthopaedics aims to offer painless and functional recovery to all the patients. Our orthopaedics surgeons are experts that ensure every patient receives world-class care.

Orthopaedics Problems

There are certain deformities and problems related to our musculoskeletal system. Some of these are:

1. Bone problems - The bone problems include bone deformities (a bone of abnormal size), bone infections (inflammation due to infection in a bone) and bone tumours (mass of abnormal cells growth). All these bone problems are caused by different reasons and may require different treatment based on the exact problem.
2. Fractures and its problems - A fracture is a condition in which a bone breaks partially or completely due to overuse, trauma or the weakening of the bone tissues. Even after treating fractures, sometimes other problems occur like Nonunions, in which a fracture fails to heal, and Malunions, in which fracture heals in the wrong way.
3. Spinal deformities - Spinal deformity is a condition in which there is an abnormality in the curve or the alignment of the spine. It can be caused by the complications due to last surgeries or from normal wear and tear overages.
4. Arthritis - It is a common condition where there is inflammation and tenderness in a joint causing pain and discomfort. There are different kinds of arthritis-like Osteoarthritis, Rheumatoid Arthritis and Psoriatic arthritis. Different cases need different treatments like medications, physiotherapy or surgery in some cases.
5. Joint Dislocation - It is an injury in the joint that causes immobilization and deformity in the joint. This injury or dislocation of the joint forces that particular joint to force out from its normal or original position. This mostly happens after a fall, accident or sports injury.
