Orthopaedics & Joint Replacements

1. Arthrography: Arthrography is a specialized X-ray of the joints such as knees, shoulders, elbows, or others. It is routinely performed for accurate assessment of bone injuries and offers greater detail when compared to a normal x-ray. Using a thin needle that injects a contrast dye into the joint to offer greater clarity and thereby aid improved diagnosis.
2. Doppler Ultrasound: Doppler ultrasound deploys high-frequency sound waves to measure the amount of blood flow to the limbs. A non-invasive, pain-free procedure, a doppler ultrasound can reveal blocked arteries at an early stat and help an orthopaedic understand bone or joint ailments caused by lack of adequate blood flow.
3. Electromyography: Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic procedure that analyses the health condition of muscles. Studying the electrical activity of the skeletal muscles, the test helps doctors understand the condition of the musculoskeletal structure and its underlying ailments.

1. Arthritis: Arthritis is a condition of the joints wherein due to the wear & tear the joints become painful & have difficulty in movement. The conditions typically worsen with age and the common symptoms include – pain, swelling, redness, restricted movement amongst others. Osteoarthritis & rheumatoid arthritis are two most common forms of this condition.
2. Avascular Necrosis: Avascular necrosis or osteonecrosis is a condition that caused by the lack of blood supply to the head of the hip bone. While this condition can occur in any bone, it is predominantly seen in the femur bone. The lack of blood supply caused by the disruption to the blood vessels in the region which leads to the destruction of the bone & joints.
3. Osteoarthritis: Osteoarthritis is a degenerative joint disease of the joints where in the protective cartilage present at the ends of the bones wears down over time.
4. Rheumatoid Arthritis: Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system attacks the joints, causing pain and discomfort.
5. Rotator Cuff Strain: A rotator cuff injury is usually a strain or tear of the rotator cuff tendons, which are thick bands that connect joint to the muscles, resulting in difficulty of movement, and pain.
6. Shoulder Impingement: Shoulder impingement occurs when there is impingement of tendons in the shoulder from bones of the shoulder, which restricts movement, and causes pain & discomfort.
7. Tennis Elbow: Tennis elbow is a painful condition caused by the repetitive use of the muscles & tendons in the arm. The wear and tear caused by repeated using of the same tendons results in pain & discomfort, restricting movement, and in some cases swelling as well.
8. Anterior Cruciate Ligament Tear (ACL): The anterior cruciate ligament tear is a common sports injury caused by the snapping of the anterior cruciate ligament that connects the thighbone to the shin, at the knee joint.
9. Meniscus Tear: A meniscus tear is a common knee injury wherein the cartilage surrounding the knee – adding as a cushion between the bones at the knee joint is torn either due to excessive wear & tear or an injury.
10. Disc Herniation: Discs are soft rubbery cushions provided between two subsequent vertebrae to aid smooth movement. Overtime, these have a tendency to bulge or fall out of shape – a condition known as disc herniation.
11. Scoliosis: Scoliosis is the side curvature of the spine, that is commonly associated during the growth spurt that occurs around puberty. It can be caused by conditions such as cerebral palsy and/or muscular dystrophy.
12. Lumbar Canal Stenosis: Lumbar spinal stenosis is the condition where the spinal canal becomes narrowed. It is a degenerative disorder and thereby largely affects the older population.
13. PFPS (Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome): Patellofemoral pain syndrome (PFPS) is a pain in and around the kneecap, caused by overuse, wear & tear, injury, or trauma.
14. Supraspinatus Tendinitis: Supraspinatus tendonitis is an inflammation of the supraspinatus tendon of the shoulder caused by underlying shoulder conditions which include – impingement, overload or overuse, labral tears, calcification, and others.
15. Pes Planus: Pes planus or flat foot is a common orthopaedic condition wherein the longitudinal arch in the foot has flattened out.
16. Ganglion Cyst: A ganglion cyst is a cyst that forms over a joint and is filled with liquid causing joint pain and discomfort.
17. Gout: Gout is a form of inflammatory arthritis that develops in some people who have high levels of uric acid in the blood.
18. Avulsion Fractures: An avulsion fracture is a bone fracture that occurs when a fragment of bone tears away from the central mass of bone.
19. Cervical Spondylitis: Cervical spondylosis is age-related wear and tear affecting the spinal disks in your neck. We are amongst the best hospitals for the treatment of cervical spondylitis in Hyderabad.
20. Lumbar Spondylosis: Lumbar spondylosis can be described as all degenerative conditions affecting the discs, vertebral bodies, and associated joints of the lumbar vertebrae.
