Description

Orthopedic surgeons specialize in comprehensive musculoskeletal care, offering advanced treatments for deformity correction and bone tumours. These services aim to restore function, alleviate pain, and improve mobility through surgical and non-surgical techniques, including limb salvage for tumors and limb lengthening or realignment for deformities. Deformity Correction Services Orthopedic doctors address congenital, developmental, and acquired deformities of the limbs and spine, such as bowlegs, knock knees, and limb length discrepancies. Osteotomy: Surgical cutting and repositioning of bones to correct alignment, often stabilized with plates, screws, or rods. • Ilizarov Technique/External Fixation: Using external frames with pins to gradually correct complex deformities, non-union fractures, or perform bone lengthening. • Guided Growth (Eight-Plate Technique): A minimally invasive, reversible procedure for children that uses a small metal plate to correct angulation by controlling the growth plate. • Computer-Assisted Navigation: Advanced technology, such as the Hexapod fixator system, is used for precise 3D correction of limb deformities. • Non-Surgical Management: In some cases, bracing, splinting, or specialized physiotherapy is used. • Bone and Soft Tissue Tumour Treatment Orthopedic oncology teams provide multidisciplinary care for benign and malignant musculoskeletal tumors, focusing on saving limbs and restoring function • Limb-Salvage Surgery: Specialized procedures designed to remove the tumor while preserving the limb and restoring its function, often using prosthetics or bone grafts. • Curettage and Bone Grafting: Scraping away benign tumors and filling the cavity with bone graft. • Wide Excision: Removal of the tumor along with a margin of healthy tissue to ensure complete removal. • Reconstruction: Joint reconstruction procedures are employed to regain mobility after tumor removal. Commonly Treated Conditions • Congenital: Clubfoot, developmental dysplasia of the hip. • Acquired/Traumatic: Malaligned fractures, post-infection defects, arthritis-related deformities. • Tumors: Osteosarcoma, Ewing sarcoma, chondrosarcoma, and aggressive benign tumors.
