Orthopaedics

Orthopaedics is a medical specialty focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system—including the bones, joints, muscles, tendons, and ligaments. Orthopaedic care can be either surgical or non-surgical, often involving physical medicine and rehabilitation.

A healthy musculoskeletal system is vital for an active lifestyle. Our orthopaedic specialists at Medcy Hospitals are dedicated to restoring your mobility and treating conditions with world-class facilities and advanced, personalized treatment options.

Types of Orthopaedics Treatment at Medcy Hospitals

The following surgical and non-surgical orthopaedic services and treatments are provided at Medcy:

Joint Replacement & Arthroplasty

• Knee Replacement (Knee Arthroplasty): This surgery is performed to restore mobility and function in a worn-down or injured knee joint. The damaged portions of the joint are replaced with artificial implants, which can significantly reduce pain and improve quality of life.
• Hip Replacement (Hip Arthroplasty): This procedure replaces a damaged or diseased hip joint with an artificial one to relieve pain and enhance mobility. We offer both total and partial hip replacement options based on the patient’s condition.

Arthroscopic & Minimally Invasive Surgery

• Arthroscopic Surgery: We use a minimally invasive technique called arthroscopy to diagnose and treat a variety of joint injuries. By inserting a tiny camera (arthroscope) through small incisions, our surgeons can examine and repair the joint.
• Knee Arthroscopy: Used to diagnose and treat conditions of the knee, such as torn ligaments or a torn meniscus.
• Shoulder Arthroscopy: Performed to assess and repair shoulder injuries, especially when non-surgical treatments are ineffective.

Specialized Treatments for Specific Conditions

• Rotator Cuff Surgery: A rotator cuff injury affects the muscles and tendons that hold the shoulder. Surgical repair may be necessary to shave bone spurs or repair torn tendons, with the goal of restoring function, flexibility, and pain relief.
• Knee Ligament Surgery (ACL): The ACL is a crucial ligament in the knee that controls the shin bone’s movement. A torn ACL often requires surgery where the torn ligament is replaced with a healthy tendon, typically from the patient or an organ donor.
• Torn Meniscus Treatment: A common knee injury causing severe pain and swelling. While minor tears can heal with rest, major injuries require physical therapy and may be repaired through arthroscopic surgery.
• Carpal Tunnel Syndrome Surgery: Performed when the median nerve is compressed in the wrist, causing weakness, numbness, and tingling. Surgery is recommended for severe symptoms and can be done as an endoscopic or open procedure to relieve pressure on the nerve.
• Tennis or Golfer’s Elbow Treatment: This condition causes pain in the tendons on the outside (tennis elbow) or inside (golfer’s elbow) of the elbow. Treatment typically involves medication and physical therapy, with surgery reserved for severe cases.
• Arthritis Treatment: A condition characterized by joint swelling, pain, and stiffness. Treatment includes medications and physical therapy. For advanced conditions, surgery such as joint repair, fusion, or replacement may be recommended.
• Paget’s Disease Treatment: A chronic condition affecting the bone remodelling process, causing bones to become weak and brittle. Treatment is symptomatic, involving medication and physical therapy. Surgery is reserved for severe cases of arthritis, fractures, or bone deformities.
