Orthopaedics

Bones, joints, spine and sports injuries

Quick Answer

The Orthopaedics department at Amrutha Orthopaedic Hospital treats conditions of the bones, joints, ligaments, muscles and spine — including arthritis, fractures, sports injuries, back and neck pain — using treatments that range from physiotherapy and injections to arthroscopy and robotic-assisted joint replacement.

About the Orthopaedics department

Orthopaedics is the branch of medicine concerned with the musculoskeletal system: bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and nerves. Our orthopaedic team assesses each problem from the least invasive option upward — physiotherapy, medication and injections first, with surgery recommended only when it will genuinely help. When surgery is needed, we offer keyhole (arthroscopic) techniques and robotic-assisted joint replacement.

Conditions we treat

Knee and hip arthritis (osteoarthritis)
Fractures and complex trauma
ACL, meniscus and other sports injuries
Back, neck and disc-related pain
Frozen shoulder and rotator cuff problems
Osteoporosis and age-related bone loss

Treatments & procedures

Robotic-assisted knee and hip replacement
Arthroscopic (keyhole) joint surgery
Fracture fixation — plates, screws and nails
Spine decompression and stabilisation
Joint injections and non-surgical pain management
Physiotherapy and post-operative rehabilitation

Frequently asked questions

When should I see an orthopaedic doctor?+

See an orthopaedic doctor if joint or back pain lasts more than a few weeks, if you have swelling or stiffness that limits daily activity, if you cannot bear weight after an injury, or if a previous injury is not settling as expected.

Will I definitely need surgery?+

No. Most orthopaedic problems are managed without surgery using physiotherapy, medication, activity modification, bracing or injections. Surgery is recommended only when non-surgical treatment has not worked or when the injury clearly requires it.

What is robotic-assisted joint replacement?+

It is a knee or hip replacement in which a robotic system helps the surgeon plan and position the implant precisely for your anatomy. The surgeon performs the operation; the robotic system assists with accuracy of alignment and bone preparation.
