Trauma Surgery focuses on the injuries caused by impact force, especially on the joints. An orthopedic trauma surgeon specializes in the treatment of complex fractures, broken bones, and other injuries caused by traumatic events. The primary role of the orthopedic trauma doctor varies from treating hairline fractures to broken bones, as well as issues with tissues and joints, in the wake of an accident or a traumatic injury. Causes: Often trauma injuries are caused by: Falling Being involved in an accident Getting injured while playing sports Natural disasters Common orthopedic procedures: Joint Arthroscopy Bone fracture repair Arthroplasty Corrective surgery Prevention: Orthopedic trauma such as fractures can occur to anyone, at any time. While some injuries are minor and require less complicated and non-surgical treatment, others may require surgery. In trauma surgery, more complete recovery is possible and ensures more quick function restore of the joint.

Hip & knee replacement surgery: Hip replacement surgery: Hip replacement surgery is a procedure in which a doctor surgically extracts a painful hip joint with arthritis and replaces it with a synthetic joint often made from metal and plastic components. It is normally done when all other treatment options have failed to provide adequate pain relief. The procedure should relieve a painful hip joint, making walking easier.

Eight out of 10 people will suffer from back or neck pain at some point in their life. Acute pain is abrupt, intense pain that subsides after a period of days or weeks. However, some people continue to suffer from pain that continues despite nonsurgical or surgical treatment methods. This long-term pain is called chronic pain. Back pain is a common reason for absence from work and for seeking medical treatment. It can be uncomfortable and debilitating. It can result from injury, activity and some medical conditions. Back pain can affect people of any age, for different reasons. As people get older, the chance of developing lower back pain increases, due to factors such as previous occupation and degenerative disk disease. Lower back pain may be linked to the bony lumbar spine, discs between the vertebrae, ligaments around the spine and discs, spinal cord and nerves, lower back muscles, abdominal and pelvic internal organs, and the skin around the lumbar area. With our knowledge & experience of operating under local anesthesia, we know precisely where the pain is coming from. To make it simple pain is sensation carried by nerves, so there cannot be a pain without involvement of nerve. Pain in the upper back may be due to disorders of the aorta, tumors in the chest, and spine inflammation. Due to various factors like lack of nutrition, obesity, smoking, vibration, repetitive stress etc this disc degenerates & the outer fibrous ring develops cracks & tears this gives rise to Back discomfort & pain. As the tears extend to periphery & start leaking the central annular jelly. This causes the nerves to swell & back pain becomes intense & goes down the leg along the nerve. Also one can experience burning senses, tingling or numbness in the legs with time tear enlarges in size or heals.If the tear enlarges then the back pain aggravates & the soft nucleus herniates out & there can be numbness & weakness in the part of the leg supplied by the nerve.Sudden compression at higher level can also cause disturbance in bowel & bladder function. Now with herniation the disc collapses & this changes the mechanics & puts more stress on the bony facet joints causing their arthritis & it gives rise to back pain on sides. All this narrows this canal & facet bones impinge on the nerves giving rise to claudication( tingling & numbness in the legs on walking).Due to all these changes there is narrowing of the Spinal Canal.

Dr Niranjan Ganjewar is well qualified to offer surgical treatment for the whole spine extending from the neck to the lower lumbar spine which includes the management of degenerative disorders in the cervical, thoracic and lumbar spine (disc herniation, spinal stenosis, myelopathy, spondylolisthesis), fractures and dislocations at all levels of the spine, Spinal deformity (scoliosis and kyphosis), infections in the spine, Spinal tumours, Revision spine surgery, Minimally invasive spine surgery, Microscopic & Micro-Endoscopic MED spine surgery. This condition occurs when the soft centre of a spinal disc pushes through a crack in the tougher exterior casing. Some herniated discs cause no symptoms. Others can irritate nearby nerves and result in pain, numbness or weakness in an arm or leg. Not every disc needs intervention. When required, treatment includes medication, physiotherapy and possibly surgery.

Treatment for a sports injury will depend on factors such as how severe the injury is and the part of your body affected. Information and advice about treatments for specific injuries: back pain broken arm or wrist broken ankle broken leg bursitis cartilage damage concussion dislocated shoulder hamstring injuries heel pain minor head injuries severe head injuries shoulder pain sprains and strains tendonitis tennis elbow Some general treatments that may be helpful for your injury include: PRICE therapy Minor injuries, such as mild sprains and strains, can often be initially treated at home using PRICE therapy for two or three days. PRICE stands for protection, rest, ice, compression and elevation. Protection – protect the affected area from further injury – for example, by using a support. Rest – avoid exercise and reduce your daily physical activity. Using crutches or a walking stick may help if you can't put weight on your ankle or knee. A sling may help if you've injured your shoulder. Ice – apply an ice pack to the affected area for 15-20 minutes every two to three hours. A bag of frozen peas, or similar, will work well. Wrap the ice pack in a towel so that it doesn't directly touch your skin and cause an ice burn. Compression – use elastic compression bandages during the day to limit swelling. Elevation – keep the injured body part raised above the level of your heart whenever possible. This may also help reduce swelling. Pain relief Painkillers, such as paracetamol, can be used to help ease the pain. Ibuprofen and other non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) tablets or creams can also be used to ease pain and reduce any swelling. Aspirin shouldn't be given to children under 16 years old. Immobilisation Immobilisation can sometimes help prevent further damage by reducing movement. It can also reduce pain, muscle swelling and muscle spasm. For example, slings, splints and casts may be used to immobilise injured arms, shoulders, wrists and legs while you heal. If you have a sprain, prolonged immobilisation isn't usually necessary, and you should try gently moving the affected joint as soon as you're able to do so without experiencing significant pain. Physiotherapy Some people recovering from a long-term injury may benefit from physiotherapy. It's a specialist treatment where techniques such as massage, manipulation and exercises are used to improve range of motion, strengthen the surrounding muscles, and return the normal function of the injured area. A physiotherapist can also develop an exercise programme to help strengthen the affected body part and reduce the risk of the injury recurring. Corticosteroid injections A corticosteroid injection may be recommended if you have severe or persistent inflammation. It can help relieve pain caused by your injury, although for some people the pain relief is minimal or only lasts for a short period of time. If necessary, a corticosteroid injection can be repeated, but you'll usually only be able to have two or three injections a year. Side effects can include thinning of the skin, loss of fat, and infection. The doctor treating you will be able to explain the possible side effects in more detail. Surgery and procedures Most sports injuries don't require surgery, but very severe injuries such as badly broken bones may require corrective treatment. This may include a manipulation or surgery to fix the bones with wires, plates, screws or rods. In some cases, it may be possible to realign displaced bones without needing an operation. Certain other injuries may also occasionally require surgery. For example, an operation may be needed to repair a torn knee ligament. Read more about knee ligament surgery. Recovery from an injury Depending on the type of injury you have, it can take a few weeks to a few months or more to make a full recovery. You shouldn't return to your previous level of activity until you've fully recovered, but you should aim to gently start moving the injured body part as soon as possible. Gentle exercises should help to improve the area’s range of movement. As movement becomes easier and the pain decreases, stretching and strengthening exercises can be introduced. Make sure you don't try to do too much too quickly because this can delay recovery. Start by doing frequent repetitions of a few simple exercises before gradually increasing the amount you do. In some cases, the help of a professional, such as a physiotherapist or sports injury specialist, may be beneficial. They can design a suitable recovery programme and advise you about the exercises you should do and the number of repetitions.

Arthroscopy - is a procedure for diagnosing and treating joint problems. A surgeon inserts a narrow tube attached to a fiber-optic video camera through a small incision — about the size of a buttonhole. The view inside your joint is transmitted to a high-definition video monitor. Arthroscopy allows the surgeon to see inside your joint without making a large incision. Surgeons can even repair some types of joint damage during arthroscopy, with pencil-thin surgical instruments inserted through additional small incisions. Why it's done Doctors use arthroscopy to help diagnose and treat a variety of joint conditions, most commonly those affecting the: Knee Shoulder Elbow Ankle Hip Wrist Diagnostic procedures Doctors often turn to arthroscopy if X-rays and other imaging studies have left some diagnostic questions unanswered. Surgical procedures Conditions treated with arthroscopy include: Loose bone fragments Damaged or torn cartilage Inflamed joint linings Torn ligaments Scarring within joints

Arthritis is the swelling and tenderness of one or more of your joints. The main symptoms of arthritis are joint pain and stiffness, which typically worsen with age. The most common types of arthritis are osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis. Osteoarthritis causes cartilage — the hard, slippery tissue that covers the ends of bones where they form a joint — to break down. Rheumatoid arthritis is a disease in which the immune system attacks the joints, beginning with the lining of joints. Uric acid crystals, which form when there's too much uric acid in your blood, can cause gout. Infections or underlying disease, such as psoriasis or lupus, can cause other types of arthritis. Treatments vary depending on the type of arthritis. The main goals of arthritis treatments are to reduce symptoms and improve quality of life.

Deformity correction is a procedure to straighten a bone that is bent or twisted in a way that is not normal. After the bone is straightened, the arm, leg, or foot has normal alignment and function. Deformities can be corrected in two different ways: All at once during a surgical procedure (called acute correction) Slowly over the course of several weeks or months (called gradual correction) The doctor will choose the best approach for each patient based on his/her unique situation. Watch this video to learn about Karie’s journey After surgery, the patient will be given specific instructions and a schedule for how to adjust the external fixator so that it slowly straightens the bone. This gradual process of slowly separating and straightening the bone segments is called distraction, which means “pulling apart.” As the two bone segments are slowly pulled apart and straightened, new bone forms in the space between them. The new bone is called regenerate bone. During the distraction phase, the orthopedic device is adjusted daily or even several times a day so that the bone segments are pulled apart and straightened at a slow rate of approximately 1 mm (0.04 inches) per day. This forces the body to constantly grow new bone and soft tissues such as skin, muscles, nerves, and blood vessels. The distraction phase lasts until the bone is straight or corrected. The patient will need to see the doctor every 10 to 14 days during the distraction phase and will start an intensive physical therapy schedule.during her leg-straightening treatment:

What Are Malunion and Nonunion? Malunion and nonunion are both problems that occur when a broken bone doesn’t heal correctly. What is a malunion? In a malunion, a bone heals but not in the right position. You may have never had treatment for the broken bone. Or, if you did have treatment, the bone moved before it healed. Malunion symptoms include constant pain long after treatment. If severe enough, the condition can cause a deformity and may require surgery to repair or correct it. What is nonunion? A nonunion is the failure of a broken bone to heal. Where do malunion and nonunion injuries occur? Malunion or nonunion injuries are most common in the: Bones between the hand and the arm Femoral neck (in your hip joint) Ankle Bone in your foot Nonunion can also occur in your: Shoulder Elbow Forearm Fingers Knees Malunion and nonunion can cause pain or even some loss of function. If a malunion affects a nearby joint, it may lead to arthritis because of unusual wear on the joint. Malunion and nonunion risk factors and causes Some people have health problems or habits that cause their bones to fail to heal properly. Malunion and nonunion risk factors include: Tobacco use Obesity Diabetes or other medical issues Many things can cause a nonunion, such as: The broken bone does not have enough blood flow. The ends of the bone were not touching when they were stabilized (put in a cast) or corrected by surgery. The broken bone moved before it could heal due to improper stabilization.
