Arthritis and Joint Replacement

Arthritis and Joint Replacement

We treat various forms of arthritis including osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, post-infection arthritis, ankylosing spondylitis, psoriatic arthritis, and post-AVN arthritis. Treatment is planned according to the stage of the disease. Initially, conservative management such as supportive care, muscle strengthening, and lifestyle modification is advised.

Medications are prescribed selectively in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, and ankylosing spondylitis. In rare cases, intra-articular injections are used to manage severe pain during acute phases.

MIS Joint Replacement Technique

We specialize in minimally invasive (MIS) joint replacement techniques. In this approach, muscles are preserved wherever possible. If muscle cutting is required, it is repaired at the exact anatomical site to maintain joint biomechanics, allowing the replaced joint to function like a natural joint.

Advantages of MIS Technique

  • Minimal blood loss
  • Shorter surgical time
  • Reduced post-operative discomfort
  • Cosmetically smaller scar
  • Early mobilization
  • Short hospital stay
  • Faster return to normal activities
