Orthopaedic Conditions We Treat at Max Hospitals in India

At Max Hospitals, we offer comprehensive care for a wide range of orthopaedic conditions that include but are not limited to the following.

Joint Disorders

  • Osteoarthritis (knee, hip, shoulder): Progressive cartilage wear leads to pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. We offer both conservative and surgical solutions including joint replacement.
  • Rheumatoid arthritis: An autoimmune condition causing inflammation of joints. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent joint deformities and disability.
  • Avascular necrosis: Loss of blood supply to bone tissue leads to bone collapse. Common in the hip and treated through joint-preserving or replacement techniques.
  • Frozen shoulder: Characterised by stiffness and pain in the shoulder joint. We offer targeted physiotherapy and minimally invasive procedures for relief.
  • Joint instability and dislocations: Often caused by injury or ligament weakness. Stabilisation may involve arthroscopic repair or physiotherapy.

Spine Conditions

  • Slip disc (herniated disc): Causes back pain and nerve compression symptoms. Managed through physiotherapy, medication, or minimally invasive spine surgery.
  • Sciatica: Radiating leg pain due to nerve compression, commonly from disc prolapse. We offer accurate diagnosis and tailored treatment plans.
  • Scoliosis and kyphosis: Abnormal spine curvatures, often requiring bracing or corrective spinal surgery in severe cases.
  • Spinal stenosis: Narrowing of the spinal canal causing nerve pressure. Treated using advanced decompression techniques or spine stabilisation surgery.
  • Degenerative disc disease: Age-related disc wear leads to chronic pain and stiffness. We provide non-surgical and surgical treatment options.
  • Vertebral fractures and spinal injuries: Can result from trauma or osteoporosis. Managed with minimally invasive fixation or kyphoplasty.

Bone Injuries and Fractures

  • Complex fractures and trauma: High-impact injuries often require surgical fixation using plates, screws, or rods. We specialise in polytrauma management.
  • Sports injuries: Includes ligament tears, sprains, and fractures. We offer rapid diagnosis and return-to-sport rehabilitation.
  • Stress fractures: Common in athletes due to overuse. Managed conservatively with rest, bracing, or occasionally surgical fixation.
  • Non-union and malunion of bones: Improper or failed healing of fractures. We offer revision surgeries using bone grafts and corrective osteotomies.

Paediatric Orthopaedic Conditions

  • Congenital hip dislocation: A developmental condition that needs early intervention to prevent lifelong disability. Treated with harnessing or surgery.
  • Clubfoot (CTEV): A congenital deformity of the foot corrected through casting or surgery. Early treatment leads to excellent outcomes.
  • Limb length discrepancies: Unequal limb lengths may cause gait issues. Managed through observation, shoe lifts, or limb-lengthening procedures.

  • Tennis elbow / Golfer’s elbow: Tendon overuse injuries causing elbow pain. Managed with rest, physiotherapy, or PRP injections.
  • Achilles tendon ruptures: A complete tear of the ankle tendon, often needing surgical repair and structured rehabilitation.

Bone and Joint Infections

  • Septic arthritis: A medical emergency causing rapid joint destruction. Managed through antibiotics and surgical drainage.
  • Osteomyelitis: Infection of the bone requiring long-term antibiotics and sometimes debridement or reconstructive surgery.
  • Post-surgical infections: Complications following orthopaedic surgery. Managed with timely intervention and infection control protocols.

Orthopaedic Tumours

  • Benign and malignant bone tumors: These can weaken bones or spread aggressively. Treated through tumor excision, limb-sparing surgery, or reconstruction.
  • Soft tissue sarcomas: Rare cancers requiring a combination of surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation therapy for optimal outcomes.

Other Conditions

  • Carpal tunnel syndrome: Compression of the median nerve in the wrist causing numbness and pain. Treated with splints, injections, or minor surgery.

  • Gait abnormalities: Resulting from neurological or structural issues. Evaluated using gait analysis and managed with physiotherapy or surgery.
  • Bursitis and tendonitis: Inflammation of joint or tendon areas causing pain. Treated conservatively with rest, medications, and physical therapy.
