Joint Replacement Centre
A broken or worn-out joint is replaced with a prosthetic implant during joint replacement surgery, commonly referred to as arthroplasty, in order to restore mobility and reduce discomfort.
The quality of life for those with severe joint diseases, such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, or joint trauma, can be greatly improved by this surgical procedure, which is frequently carried out on joints including the hip, knee, shoulder, and elbow.
Knee joint replacement
Knee arthroplasty, commonly referred to as knee replacement, is a surgical operation used to replace the knee joint’s weight-bearing surfaces in an effort to ease discomfort and incapacity.
A partial or full knee replacement can be done during surgery for a knee replacement. Surgery often entails replacing the knee’s diseased or damaged joint surfaces with metal and plastic components tailored to preserve knee motion.
It is most frequently used to treat osteoarthritis, as well as other knee conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis, severe post-traumatic deformity, and cartilage abnormalities.
Between the ages of 50 and 80, knee replacement is most prevalent.
About the procedure
You will visit us for a consultation before surgery, during which we will:
1. Enquire about your medical background and ongoing prescriptions.
2. Carefully examine your knee joint, paying attention to its range of motion, any deformities, and the strength of the muscles around it.
3. If necessary, order a blood test, a knee X-ray, and an MRI scan.
It is a good idea for you to ask questions concerning the operation during this pre-operative evaluation. Find out which drugs you need to stop taking or keep taking the week before surgery.
Total Hip replacement
The most typical treatment for joint failure brought on by osteoarthritis is a total hip replacement. Rheumatoid arthritis, specific hip fractures, and benign and malignant bone cancers are further indications.
The procedure’s goals are pain alleviation and improved hip function. Hip replacement is typically only taken into consideration after failing with conventional treatments like physical therapy and painkillers.
The diseased bone and cartilage of the hip joint are removed during a total hip replacement, also known as a total hip arthroplasty, and replaced with artificial parts. One of the most effective operations in all of the medicine is hip replacement surgery.

Urology And Andrology
- Kidney and Ureteral Stones: This is a condition in which a solid material is formed due to the presence of certain substances in higher proportion in urine. These can be extremely painful and can be found blocking the urine flow from kidneys to the urinary bladder. They are of various sizes and shapes; hence treatment is based on the aspects like- location of the stone, size, surface of stone and shape of stone.
- Bladder stones: They are stones found in urinary bladder.
- Urinary tract obstructions like PUJO (Pelvi-ureteric junction obstruction)
- Urinary Tract Infections: any infection that occurs in the urinary system is called as urinary tract infection. This infection could affect the kidneys, ureters, bladder or urethra.
- Urethral strictures
- Urinary Incontinence: A medical condition that leads to no control over the bladder.
- Neurogenic Bladder: The urinary bladder has nerves and muscles that work in synchronisation to allow urination to occur. But in cases of nerve injury due to an illness or trauma, the nerve endings to the bladder are damaged as well which hamper normal urination. Due to this miscommunication between the nerves and muscles of the bladder occur resulting in improper emptying of the bladder.
- Benign Prostatic Hyperplasia (BPH): Prostate is a gland present in males that is necessary for reproductive functioning. Usually in men this gland tends to grow in size. This enlarged growth of prostate is called as benign prostatic hyperplasia which affects the quality of life for them. It leads to displeasing symptoms like poor flow of urine or difficulty in urine leading to pain or incontinence.
- Hematuria: It is a condition in which blood is present in urine. It can arise in cases of infection, any trauma to the urinary system and due to certain viruses.
- Erectile Dysfunction: A sexual dysfunction that leads to the inability to maintain an erection of penis during sexual activity.
- Prostatitis: Infection of the prostate gland is called as prostatitis.
