General Orthopedics

Apart from minor sprains and muscle pulls we are dealing three main types of patients in general orthopedics

• Congenital/developmental deformities
• Fractures
• Life style injuries

Congenital/developmental deformities

• Club foot
• CDH (Congenital dislocation of hip)
• Adolescent scoliosis
• Flat foot

Treatment can be conservative or surgical depending on the severity of deformity and the stage at which the patient comes to us.

Fractures

• Minor fractures are treated conservatively.
• Undisplaced major fractures are also treated conservatively
• Major displaced fractures are operated mostly by MIS technique
• All intra-articular (fractures into the joints) are treated surgically

Life style injuries

Faulty posture or ergonomically incorrect working environment leads to repeated minor trauma in different body parts. It causes neck pain, low back ache, young age knee pain, osteoporosis, carpal tunnel syndrome etc. All these conditions can be prevented/treated with proper education of patients. We are conducting sensitization programs with major companies to educate their employees. In these programs we also assess the calcium and vitamin D levels to alert them of impending osteoporosis.
