Orthopaedics & Joint Replacement

Our department is equipped with the latest medical technologies and facilities, including: 

• Computer-aided navigation system: We use computer-guided tracking systems to visualise the patient’s anatomy in 3D and enhance the accuracy of implant positioning in the knee/hip.
• Robotic surgery systems for enhanced precision in joint replacements
• Gait lab and motion analysis: We have specialised equipment for monitoring body movements and muscle activities during walking and/or running (gait analysis).
• High-definition system for arthroscopy
• Dedicated intensive care unit (ICU) for post-operative care and spine surgery
• Comprehensive emergency and trauma services available 24/7
• Daycare spine surgery facility

We manage a wide range of conditions, from simple orthopaedic ailments to complex spinal disorders:  

• Achilles tendinitis: The painful inflammation of the Achilles tendon, which connects the calf muscles to the heel bone.
• Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries: The tearing or spraining of the ACL, which connects the femur (thigh bone) to the tibia (shin bone) and plays a crucial role in knee joint stability.
• Adhesive capsulitis: Also called frozen shoulder, this refers to pain/stiffness in the shoulder joints.
• Anterior knee pain
• Arthritis: A condition characterised by the painful inflammation of the joints.
• Avascular necrosis (AVN) of the hip: A condition associated with tissue death occurring in the head of the femur (thigh bone) due to a lack of blood supply, ultimately causing pain and collapse of the hip joint.
• Bone tumours
• Bunion: A bony growth at the base of the big toe, which causes this toe to deviate towards the other toe.
• Carpal tunnel syndrome: Compression of the median nerve, which runs through the wrist and into the carpal tunnel (a narrow passage surrounded by bones and ligaments on the palm side), causing tingling, numbness, and pain.
• Cervical and lumbar spondylosis: A degenerative condition characterised by the ageing-induced wear and tear of the ligaments and joints in the spine in the neck (cervical spondylosis) and lower back regions (lumbar spondylosis).
• De Quervain tenosynovitis: Inflammation of the tendons and tendon sheaths on the thumb side of the wrist, causing wrist pain.
• Degenerative spine conditions: A group of conditions associated with the gradual loss of function of the spine.
• Developmental dysplasia of hip: The abnormal formation and development of the hip joint, leading to hip joint instability and/or dislocation.
• Ganglion cyst: A non-cancerous fluid-filled lump occurring near joints, especially in the hands and wrist, that may sometimes cause pain and restrict movement.
• Genu Varum: Also called bowlegs, this condition refers to the curving of the legs outward at the knees (bowing), due to which the knees appear widely spaced when the feet are together in a standing position.
• Hip arthritis
• Hip bursitis: Inflammation of the bursae, i.e., fluid-filled cushioning sacs that serve as friction-reducing cushions between muscles and bones in the hip, causing pain and stiffness.
• Hip dislocation (anterior or posterior): Movement of the head of the femur from the acetabulum, which is the socket of the hip joint (in which the femoral head is present), in the forward (anterior) or backward direction (posterior).
• Knee cartilage damage
• Knee bursitis: Inflammation of the bursae in the knee, causing knee pain and swelling.
• Limb length discrepancy: A condition in which one leg is noticeably shorter.
• Lumbar canal stenosis: The narrowing of the spinal canal in the lower back region causes the compression of nerves to the legs, which in turn causes numbness or pain in the legs and buttocks.
• Lumbar pain: Lower back pain.
• Neck pain
• Patellar tendinitis: Also called jumper’s knee, this condition refers to the inflammation of the patellar tendon, which connects the patella (knee cap) to the tibia due to overuse/injury, causing pain below the knee.
• Rotator cuff tear: The tearing of the tendons that connect the shoulder muscles to the shoulder joint and the humerus (upper arm bone) often due to injuries or overuse, causing shoulder pain and arm weakness.
• Slipped capital femoral epiphysis: A hip problem that mostly affects growing children and teenagers, in which the ball at the top of the thighbone gradually “slips” out of place. It can cause pain in the hip, groin, or knee, a limp, and difficulty putting weight on the leg. SCFE needs prompt medical attention to prevent long-term joint damage.
• Sciatica: Compression, pinching, injury, or irritation of the sciatic nerve, which runs down the back of each leg, causing pain, numbness, and/or tingling in the legs or feet.
• Scoliosis: The curving of the spine sideways (either side) to either side of the back, often causing pain and breathing problems.
• Shoulder dislocation
• Snapping hip: A condition in which a snap/pop/click in the hip can be felt or heard during movement.
• Tennis elbow: Damage of the tendons connecting the forearm to the elbow due to the overuse of the forearm and wrist, causing pain and tenderness in the elbow and forearm.
• Trigger finger: A condition in which, due to the inflammation of tendons in the fingers, one of the fingers gets stuck in a bent position and suddenly pops straight (like releasing a trigger).
