Orthopedics
Orthopaedics / Orthopedics treats conditions of the bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and spine. Common reasons for treatment include arthritis, sports injuries, fractures and back problems. Treatment can range from physiotherapy to robotic joint replacement, and the goal is always pain relief and restored mobility.
About Orthopedics
Orthopedics is the branch of medicine that diagnoses and treats problems of the musculoskeletal system: bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles and the spine. Orthopedic care covers everything from sports injuries and fractures to arthritis, spinal disorders and bone conditions present from birth.
Treatment ranges from physiotherapy and medication to minimally invasive keyhole procedures and full joint replacement. The goal is the same in every case:less pain, restored movement and a return to an active, independent life.
Joint Replacement
Total Knee Replacement : Replaces a worn knee joint with implants to relieve advanced arthritis pain.
Robotic Knee Replacement : Robotic guidance places the implant precisely, for better alignment and faster recovery.
Total Hip Replacement : Replaces the damaged hip ball and socket to restore pain-free walking.
Shoulder Replacement : Replaces an arthritic or injured shoulder joint to improve movement and strength.
Revision Joint Replacement : Corrects a failed, loose or infected implant from an earlier surgery.
Sports Injury & Arthroscopy
ACL Reconstruction : Rebuilds a torn knee ligament through keyhole surgery so you can return to sport.
Arthroscopy : A tiny camera is used to repair torn cartilage, meniscus or rotator cuff, often with a same-day discharge.
Spine Surgery
Spinal Fusion : Joins vertebrae to stabilise the spine and relieve chronic back pain.
Microdiscectomy / Endoscopic Spine Surgery : Removes a herniated disc through a very small incision for quick relief from sciatica.
Scoliosis Correction : Straightens an abnormally curved spine to improve posture and balance.
Trauma & Specialised Care
Fracture Fixation : Stabilises broken bones with plates, screws or rods for correct healing.
Pediatric Orthopedics : Treats clubfoot, hip dysplasia and limb deformities in children.
Before You Travel
Documents : Passport, medical visa, recent reports and scans (X-ray or MRI)
Pre-surgery tests : Blood work, ECG and an anesthesia fitness check
Stay : 2–3 weeks for joint replacement, about 1 week for ACL repair and 3–4 weeks for spinal fusion
Recovery : Physiotherapy starts within 24 hours, and most patients return to daily activities in 6–12 weeks

Frequently Asked Questions
Orthopedics is the medical branch focused on diagnosing and treating the musculoskeletal system—including bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and the spine. We handle everything from sports injuries, fractures, and arthritis to complex spinal disorders and congenital bone conditions, with the goal of reducing pain and restoring an active, independent life.
You can share your relevant medical reports and imaging for an initial review and treatment-planning guidance. The recommended approach, estimated costs, and expected stay depend on your diagnosis and the treating specialist's assessment.
Recovery varies according to the procedure, the patient's overall health, and rehabilitation progress. Some patients resume routine activities within weeks, while major procedures such as joint replacement or spinal fusion may require several months for substantial recovery.
