Surgical Reconstruction : Cure with Orthopedic Surgery
Orthopaedic surgery is a speciality associated with acute fractures, congenital or inherited diseases and chronic arthritis or conditions related to overuse of bones, joints and related soft tissues, including ligaments, nerves and muscles.
It is a surgical procedure which removes and replaces portions of an arthritic or damaged joint with a metal, plastic or ceramic device called a prosthesis.
The prosthesis is intended to mimic a natural, stable joint’s movement.
The most commonly performed orthopaedic surgeries are hip replacement surgery and knee replacement surgery, however, replacement surgery of the shoulder, wrist and ankle are also performed.

Types of orthopaedic surgery in India
Orthopaedic surgery is a safe procedure that is done to relieve pain and improve quality of life. In recent years, significant technological advancements have changed the field of orthopaedics significantly.
While most orthopaedists practice general orthopaedics, some are trained in paediatric, trauma, and sports medicine for foot, leg, neck, spine, hip, knee, and others.
The types of orthopaedic surgeries in India that one can undergo are as follows:
A total knee replacement (TKR) or total knee arthroplasty is a surgical procedure in which an artificial material is used to replace the damaged or diseased knee joint. TKR is one of the most affordable and reliably effective orthopaedic surgery.

In a total hip replacement surgery, the damaged portions of the hip joint are replaced by parts usually made of metal, ceramic and very hard plastic.
This artificial joint (prosthesis) provides relief from pain and improved function. Damage by arthritis is the most common reason why hip replacement is required.

Carpal tunnel syndrome is a medical condition linked to arm and hand that normally causes symptoms of tingling and numbness.
A pinched nerve in the wrist is the underlying cause of this disease. Related factors that contribute to problems with carpal tunnel syndrome include basic wrist physiology, hand use habits, and some underlying health conditions.
Carpel tunnel release surgery is performed to alleviate the pressure on the median nerve by cutting the tunnel roof ligament.
Shoulder Replacement Surgery is a procedure in which part or all of the glenohumeral or the ball and socket joint is replaced by a prosthetic implant.
This surgery is usually performed to repair severe physical joint damage and relieve pain with arthritis. Shoulder Replacement Surgery is only considered if pain worsens and the condition deteriorates.
Arthroscopic shoulder surgery, also known as Rotator Cuff Repair Surgery, is an ideal technique for treating shoulder-related medical problems.
Ankle replacement is a surgical procedure where a damaged ankle joint is replaced with an artificial implant of a damaged ankle joint.
Ankle joint replacement is rapidly replacing traditional bone fusion (arthrodesis). As opposed to arthrodesis, ankle joint replacement surgery provides better restoration of joint movement. This operation is intended to replace damaged ankle joint articular surfaces with prosthetic material.
Ankle replacement surgery is done when there is severe arthritis leading to symptoms such as severe pain, swelling, and stiffness, which can contribute to walking difficulties.
Elbows are typically weakened by problems ranging from bone fractures to rheumatoid arthritis. In cases of extensive damage, the surgeon will suggest replacing the elbow.
The process for removing the elbow is difficult because the elbows have several moving parts that need to match each other with great precision in order to control forearm movements.
The weakened joint is removed in this surgical procedure and artificial prosthetic joint consisting of two implants is implanted into the bones of the leg.
A metal & plastic character instructs implants together. Expertise and great care are taken by the orthopaedic surgeon to ensure that during surgery, large ulnar nerves are not harmed.
ACL injuries are popular among sports-playing people. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is a form of knee surgery to repair ACL, usually with a tendon from another part of your body.

PCL Reconstruction is a complex surgical procedure in which the torn posterior cruciate ligament is repaired and replaced by a natural tendon/tissue that is obtained from the other part of the patient’s knee to restore the strength of the knee and normal function after an injury.
There may be acute or chronic PCL damages. Acute PCL injury is caused by a sudden injury, while a chronic injury is associated with the condition that develops over time.

Although bowed legs are normal in children, it is also occasionally noticed in overweight.
Rickets, Physiologic Genu Varum & Blount’s Disease are the main causes responsible for this situation.

Marie travelled from Ghana for a minimally invasive hip replacement surgery in India and was able to resume her daily activities pain-free.
Tell us about yourself
My name is Marie and I am 56 years old. I was prescribed medicine when I started to experience hip pain several years ago, had MRI performed, but felt no relief or adequate diagnosis of my hip disease. I couldn’t bend, or enjoy any of my previous activities. Moving my hip even a little would cause me immense pain. Eventually my doctors asked me to get an x-ray done, and the results showed that my left leg was shorter than my right and this could be corrected after a hip replacement surgery. I spoke to my local doctor and started checking for options to get this treatment.
How did you know about MedicoExperts?
While scrolling through Facebook, I came across an advertisement about minimally invasive hip replacement surgery, and quickly filled up the enquiry form. Within 24hrs, I got in touch with their patient care expert and began discussing my condition. The orthopaedic surgeon in India reviewed my reports and said that I was a good candidate for minimally invasive surgery. And with that I began my plan to travel to India to receive my treatment.

My experience was very good. MedicoExperts team kept in touch with me throughout my journey and was very kind and helpful. My surgeon too was excellent and I was discharged from the hospital very soon. I was able to resume work 2 weeks after my surgery and also have been able to move better. My life is better and renewed now.
