Orthopaedic surgery is a medical specialty
concerned with diagnosis, care, treatment, rehabilitation, and
prevention of injuries and diseases of the body's
musculoskeletal system, the complex system that includes: bones,
joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves. Orthopaedics
(although literally meaning to straighten the child) now refers
to any surgery of the musculo skeletal system. It includes:
-
Implanting artificial joints for the
treatment of degenerative arthritis (osteo or rheumatoid),
congenital
-
Abnormalities of joints, and other
disorders which affect specific joint function
-
Fixation of broken bones
-
Repair of ligament and tendon damage
resulting from sporting and similar injuries
-
Treatment of deformity and trauma to the
spine
In recent years there has been some
revolutionary advances in joint replacement surgery. Till
recently the joints, which were commonly replaced were that of
knee joints and hip joints. Now the other parts of body can also
be replaced as that of shoulder, elbow, wrist, finger and ankle
joints. The revolutionary materials and cementing is done which
are more long lasting and body friendly.
The other major development in orthopaedic
surgery has taken place in knee surgery, which is called
uni-compartmental knee replacement. Now the recovery has become
more swift and painless due to better cementing techniques. This
surgery is more useful for younger generation because now
surgery is also done without using binding materials. The screws
and other press fit methods ensure further replacements and
adjustments with less difficulty and pain.
In case of hip replacement surgery the method
called hybrid hip replacement techniques is becoming common with
higher success rates. The younger generation is showing higher
success rate. Here the hip joint cup is fixed without cement
through screws. The femoral component or the part of bone only
needs cementing material. This technique has increased the life
of joints and reduced post surgery recovery period.
There has been phenomenal improvement in
cementing methods for joining the joints. The material used for
cementing is poly methyl metha crylate. It has been observed
that if cementing is done properly then life of joints also
increase and can last for life long. These days better quality
cement guns are used. For mixing the material, vacuum mixers
with pressurization techniques are used.
The department of orthopaedics is equipped
with most modern state-of-the art for the treatment of the
trauma of the musculo skeletal system. The department
specializes in latest techniques and treatments such as
minimally invasive surgery, cartilage and bone transplantation,
spine surgery and limb sparing surgery. Orthopaedic department
of our institutions has pioneered orthopaedic procedures like
Total Hip and knee replacements, the lllizarov procedure and
Birmingham Hip Resurfacing Technique. The department has done
performed more than 200 bone marrow transplants at a very high
success rate of 98%.
Our orthopaedics department is one of the best joint replacement
units in India offering total Joint replacements (both primary
and revision) of hip, knee and shoulder. This unit also offers
advanced spine surgery involving Moss-Miamis, steffi and lupue
instrumentation dealing with spinal trauma and scoliosis.
Ilizarov procedures, Cervical Spine surgeries are done
routinely. Fully equipped Physiotherapy Unit provides essential
backup support.
Landmark INNOVATION in Hip Joint arthritis treatment
Hip Resurfacing Surgery – a far superior alternative to
Hip Replacement. Arthritis of the hip joint is a common problem in
India and the Western world.
A striking advance has been made in the field of surgery for Hip
Arthritis. “Don’t get a Hip Replacement, just reline or resurface
your arthritic hip!” it is called Birmingham Hip Resurfacing
technique with Implant. This is what hundreds of satisfied
Hip resurfacing patients are now urging other arthritis patients to
do.
What do you do if you need a new hip but you cannot face the
daunting prospect of a conventional total hip replacement (THR)? The
answer lies in a revolutionary surgery to reline the arthritic hip
joint called Hip Resurfacing (BHR or ASR). A similar procedure can
also be done on the Shoulder.
Patients who have undergone this pioneering Hip Resurfacing
operation are able to walk as much as 5 miles a day, as early as 6
weeks after the operation. They can jog, swim, dance, run and even
play high-impact sports, and the resurfaced hip does not dislocate
or slip out of joint! Patients are also able to sit cross-legged or
squat on the floor and can even use an Indian toilet after this
surgery.
This Hip Resurfacing procedure was pioneered by one of the
world’s leading hip surgeons Dr Derek McMinn in Birmingham, U.K. and
has given a fresh breath of life to hundreds of people in several
parts of the world. Both Dr. Vijay C. Bose as well as Dr.
Ameet Pispati are first persons who have learned the Birmingham
Hip Resurfacing technique under Dr. Derek McMinn.
Advantage of Hip Resurfacing:
~ Ball used in the system is similar to the natural ball and this
confers
biomechanical advantages to the hip.
~ Improved durability due to reduced wearing out of
prosthesis hence decreased chances of loosening.
~ Improved function and quicker recovery.
~ Patients can sit, squat and even participate in
sports activities.
~ Allows normal range of movements of the hip.
~ Does not change the leg length.
~ Femoral head is preserved.
~ Femoral canal is preserved and no associated femoral
bone loss with future revision. Also, the risk of micro fracture of
femur with un-cemented stem implantation is eliminated.
~ Larger size of implant "ball" reduces the risk of
dislocation significantly.
~ Stress is transferred in a natural way along the
femoral canal and through the head and neck of the femur. With the
standard THR, some patients experience thigh pain as the bone has to
respond and reform to less natural stress loading.
~ Use of metal rather than plastic reduces osteolysis
and associated early loosening risk.
~ Use of metal has low wear and tear rate with
expected lifelong implant.
~ Restores normal structure of the hip joint, and the
bigger size of the ball reduces chances of dislocation.
Hip resurfacing is the real solution for the young
arthritic hip where survival rate and durability of hip joint is
long, and hence it can be called the ideal hip surgery for young and
highly active patients.

Joint Replacement FAQ's
section which probably answers most of your Joint replacement
questions.
Knee replacement: Surgery can
relieve pain
Knee replacement surgery, also known as total knee arthroplasty
(ARTH-ro-plas-tee) — can help relieve pain and restore function in
severely diseased knee joints. During knee replacement, a surgeon
cuts away damaged bone and cartilage from your thighbone, shinbone
and kneecap and replaces it with an artificial joint (prosthesis)
made of metal alloys, high-grade plastics and polymers.
In the 1950s, the first artificial knees were little more than
crude hinges. Now that more than 300,000 knee replacement surgeries
are performed each year, you and your doctor can choose from a wide
variety of designs that take into account your age, weight, activity
level and overall health. Most knee replacement joints attempt to
replicate your knee's natural ability to roll and glide as it bends.
Who is knee replacement for?
Knee replacement can improve knee problems associated with
osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and other degenerative
conditions, such as avascular necrosis — a condition in which
obstructed blood flow causes your bone tissue to die.
Knee replacement may help you if:
- You have pain that limits activities
such as walking, climbing stairs and getting in and out of chairs,
or you experience moderate or severe knee pain at rest.
- You have limited function or
mobility, such as chronic knee stiffness and swelling that
prevent you from bending and straightening your knee.
- You've tried other methods to
improve symptoms, for example resting, weight loss,
physical therapy, medications, braces and surgery, but they've
failed.
- You have a knee deformity,
such as a joint that bows in or out.
- You're age 55 or older.
Knee replacement is typically performed in older adults, but it may
be considered for adults of all ages. Young, physically active
people are more likely to wear out their new knee prematurely. For
those people, a doctor may recommend a nonsurgical treatment program
or suggest an alternative surgery such as arthroscopy, leg
straightening (osteotomy), or a partial knee replacement, which
replaces fewer components than total knee replacement.
- You're generally healthy.
Good candidates for knee replacement are typically healthy, without
conditions such as restricted blood flow, diabetes, or infections
that can complicate surgery and recovery. Obesity alone won't
disqualify you from surgery, but it may slow healing and increase
your risk of infection after surgery.

Some recommended Joint Replacement Surgery Centers in
India:
MIOT
Hospitals, Chennai
(located in South of
India)
The Madras Institute of Orthopaedics and
Traumatology (MIOT), had its genesis as an independent wing of
Vijaya Hospital, where Padmashree Prof. Dr. P. V. A. Mohandas and
his team performed many a surgical impossibility in the field of
Orthopaedics. Subsequently, his international travel exposed him to
the highly impressive standards of hygiene and competence of medical
services in the West He grew obsessed with an overpowering desire to
provide similar standards of professional health care in India. He
left no stone unturned, no expense spared until in February 1999
MIOT opened its doors to the public. Thus, the seed of desire sown
with dedication and nurtured with concerted effort, sprouted and now
stands before us as the imposing structure of MIOT - the virtual
brainchild of Dr. Mohandas.
Computer Navigated Surgery
The Department of Orthopaedics at MIOT was the first to practice
Computer Navigated Joint Replacement Surgery in the Asia - Pacific
region. In this type of surgery, the computer monitors every step of
he surgeon, ensuring a zero error performance. Just as every
person's fingerprint is different, every person's anatomical knee
axis too is different. Through a camera attached to the computer,
the shape and movement of the patient's hip, knee and ankle are
registered in 3 dimensions. This helps us fine-tune the surgical
instruments and cutting jigs to zero error before the bone is cut.
The computer also reveal the accuracy of the cut. Once the cut is
perfect the knee is 'balanced'. The computer shows all the important
data before implanting the components of the knee. It shows the
alignment, flexibility, extension gap etc. At the end of the
operation the procedure can be stored on a CD.
