Orthopaedics
Joint replacements, arthroscopy
Orthopaedics is the branch of medicine that treats the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments and tendons, together called the musculoskeletal system. It covers conditions such as arthritis and worn joints, sports injuries including torn ligaments, fractures, and spine problems that cause back or neck pain. Treatment ranges from physiotherapy and medicines to keyhole (arthroscopic) surgery and joint replacement. Orthopaedic surgeons often focus on a particular area, such as knee and hip replacement, sports injuries, shoulder surgery or spine surgery, so choosing a surgeon whose focus matches your problem matters.
Through Medwell you can arrange orthopaedic surgery in India, including total knee replacement (one knee), total knee replacement (both knees), total hip replacement (one hip), total hip replacement (both hips), shoulder replacement, ACL reconstruction and knee arthroscopy. Your orthopaedic surgeon confirms whether surgery is right for you after reviewing your X-rays, MRI and reports.
