Department of Orthopaedics

Orthopaedics

The Department of Orthopaedics at Unicorpus Health Foundation delivers comprehensive, consultant-led musculoskeletal care with a focus on restoring function, relieving pain, and enhancing mobility. Our team provides ethical, evidence-based treatment across a full spectrum of orthopaedic conditions—ranging from fractures and arthritis to complex joint replacements, brachial plexus surgeries, nerve repairs, tendon transfers and spinal disorders. With a strong emphasis on affordability and continuity of care, we cater to patients of all ages, from children to the elderly.

Conditions We Manage

We offer diagnosis and management of a broad range of orthopaedic and musculoskeletal disorders, addressing acute and chronic conditions with compassion and clinical precision:

  • Traumatic Fractures and Dislocations
    We provide timely and evidence-based management of fractures and joint dislocations, including closed reductions, surgical fixation, and rehabilitation to restore alignment, function, and strength.
  • Osteoarthritis and Rheumatoid Arthritis
    Our consultants manage degenerative and inflammatory joint diseases through pharmacological therapies, lifestyle interventions, physiotherapy, and joint replacement surgery where indicated.
  • Ligament and Meniscal Injuries
    Commonly seen in the knee and shoulder, these injuries are treated with a combination of conservative therapy or arthroscopic surgical repair to promote stability and return to function.
  • Chronic Back and Neck Pain
    We manage persistent spinal pain caused by degenerative disc disease, spondylosis, or muscular imbalance, employing physiotherapy, injections, and spine surgery as clinically required.
  • Spinal Deformities and Disc Prolapse
    Conditions such as scoliosis, kyphosis, and herniated discs are carefully assessed and managed through posture correction, bracing, and surgical decompression or fusion where necessary.
  • Hand Surgery
    We manage acute and delayed presentation of fractures of the upper limb. We also treat nerve compression syndromes, tendon and ligament injuries, deformity correction,tumours of upper limb , brachial plexus injuries and accidental amputations of fingers/ machinery crush injuries with replantation of the amputated parts or flap cover as indicated.
  • Sports Injuries and Overuse Syndromes
    Our multidisciplinary team addresses sports-related injuries—such as ligament sprains, muscle tears, and repetitive strain injuries—ensuring a safe and efficient return to activity.
  • Tendonitis, Bursitis, and Frozen Shoulder
    These inflammatory conditions are treated with activity modification, anti-inflammatory medications, guided injections, and physiotherapy to reduce pain and improve joint mobility.
  • Post-Traumatic Complications and Deformities
    We offer corrective procedures for malunited or non-united fractures and deformities resulting from previous trauma, using osteotomy and reconstruction techniques to restore function and alignment.

Technology & Facilities

Our orthopaedic department is equipped with modern infrastructure and advanced technologies to ensure precision, safety, and optimal patient outcomes:

  • Modular Operating Theatres with Laminar Airflow
    Our surgical suites are designed with laminar airflow systems to maintain a sterile environment, significantly reducing the risk of infection during orthopaedic procedures.
  • C-arm Fluoroscopy for Intraoperative Imaging
    Real-time imaging during surgery allows for accurate alignment and placement of implants, especially in fracture fixation and spine surgeries.
  • Dedicated Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy Unit
    Our in-house rehabilitation team provides tailored post-operative physiotherapy programmes, promoting early mobility and functional recovery.
  • Post-operative Recovery and Mobility Aids
    Our department provides comprehensive postoperative care with mobility aids, assistive devices, and close monitoring to support safe and effective rehabilitation.
