Scoliosis Surgery in India - Cure Abnormal Curvature of the Spine

Scoliosis is one of the more common spine conditions. The goals of scoliosissurgery in India are threefold: straighten the spine as much as possible in a safe manner, balance the torso and pelvic areas and maintain correction.

Scoliosis is a condition in which a person's spine is curved. The condition can be classified as congenital (caused by vertebral anomalies present at birth), idiopathic (arising after birth and caused by unknown factors) or neuromuscular, where it is a secondary symptom of another condition such as spina bifida. Scoliosis refers to an S-shaped or C-shaped spinal deformity in the coronal plane (when looking directly at the person).

There are three main types of idiopathic scoliosis which are classified according to the age of onset.

Infantile– A curvature that develops before a child is two years old. 

 

JuvenileIdiopathic- A curve that develops in the age range of two to ten years.

Adolescent Idiopathic– This type appears in early adolescence and is much more common in girls than boys.

There are three main scoliosis treatment options for adolescents:

• Observation
• Back braces
  
  
  
  
  
• Scoliosis surgery

Spinalfusion surgery is a complicated technique where the spine is straightened using metal hooks and rods, before being fused into place using bone grafts. It should only be carried out by experts in this type of surgery.

Scoliosissurgery cost in India is less than other western countries and provides various orthopaedic treatments at affordable rate.

Cost Effective Joint Replacement Surgery India

Joint replacement involves surgery to replace the ends of bones in a damaged joint. This surgery creates new joint surfaces.

ShoulderReplacement Surgery

In shoulder replacement surgery, the damaged parts of the shoulder are removed and replaced with artificial components, called a prosthesis. The treatment options are either replacement of just the head of the humerus bone (ball), or replacement of both the ball and the socket (glenoid).

Total knee Replacement

If your knee is severely damaged by arthritis or injury, it may be hard for you to perform simple activities such as walking or climbing stairs. You may even begin to feel pain while you're sitting or lying down.

The most common cause of chronic knee pain and disability is arthritis. Osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis and traumatic arthritis are the most common forms. 

 

What are the benefits of joint replacement surgery?
Artificial joints may help:

• Reduce joint pain.
• Restore or maintain joint motion.
• Improve the look and alignment of the joint(s).
• Improve overall hand function.

Lumbar Disc Replacement Surgery : Lower Back Pain Treatment

The idea of lumbar disc replacement is similar to replacing other joints such as a hip or knee in your body due to damage or overuse.
Lumbar disc replacement is similar to other types of jointreplacement (such as hip and knee replacements). The concept is similar in that the surgeon is removing a damaged joint, and replacing this with a metal and plastic implant. In the lumbar spine, the goal is to remove the damaged, painful disc, and replace this with a metal and plastic implant. The implant is designed to move like a normal disc.

The theoretical advantage of lumbar disc replacement over spine fusion is that the replaced disc would allow motion at the damaged level and would not transfer stresses to adjacent levels. The goal is to achieve the same pain reduction as spinal fusion, but eliminate some of the complications.

Procedure

• An incision is made in the abdomen to expose the front part of the spine
• Live X-ray is used to determine the correct level(s) to be operated on
• The disc is approached after carefully separating away the abdominal contents and major blood vessels are moved to one side
• The disc is removed
• A disc replacement device is implanted
• Normal compression of the spine will hold the implant in place
• Surgery takes approximately 1 – 3 hours
  
  
  
  
  

Disc Degeneration
The inner portion of the intervertebral disc, the nucleus pulposus, is a soft jelly-like substance that holds water and is well hydrated in the normal state. This well-hydrated nucleus provides visco-elasticity to the disc and enables it to act like a shock absorber. Due to a variety of causes, the nucleus pulposus can undergo degeneration, loses its ability to hold water and becomes stiff.

Disc Replacement Surgery
The aim of a disc-replacement surgery is to remove the degenerated disc and restore the normal function and movement of the spine using a prosthesis, thereby reducing the back pain.

Scoliosis Treatment : Correct the Shape of Spine

Everyone’s spine has natural curves. These curves round our shoulders and make our lower back curve slightly inward. But some people have spines that also curve from side to side, and rotate. Unlike poor posture, these curves can’t be corrected simply by learning to stand up straight.

Scoliosis is a condition in which the spine—in addition to the normal front to back curvature—has an abnormal side-to-side “S-” or “C”-shaped curvature. The spine is also rotated or twisted, pulling the ribs along with it to form a multidimensional curve.

 Main Types:

    idiopathic scoliosis: the most common form, with no definite cause, mainly affecting adolescent girls, but existing in three age groups:
        adolescent idiopathic scoliosis
        juvenile idiopathic scoliosis
        infantile (early-onset) idiopathic scoliosis

        
    neuromuscular scoliosis: associated with a neuromuscular condition such as cerebral palsy, myopathy or spina bifida
    
    congenital scoliosis: present at birth, caused by a failure of the vertebrae to form normally—the least common form

Causes:

There are many causes of scoliosis, including congenital spine deformities (those present at birth, either inherited or caused by the environment), genetic conditions, neuromuscular problems, and limb length inequality. Other causes for scoliosis include cerebral palsy, spina bifida, muscular dystrophy, spinal muscular atrophy, and tumors.

Symptoms:

•     Shoulders are different heights – one shoulder blade is more prominent than the other
•     Head is not centered directly above the pelvis
•     Appearance of a raised, prominent hip
•     Rib cages are at different heights
•     Uneven waist
•     Changes in look or texture of skin overlying the spine
•     Leaning of entire body to one side
•     Rib prominence when bent over

Treatment Options:
    Observation
    This is for curves that have a small degree measurement when you are growing (adolescent scoliosis), or for moderate size curves (< 40-45 degrees) when you are done growing. For adults, observation and physical therapy are for those patients who have mild symptoms and have curves which are not large.
    Bracing

    This is for curves between 25 and 45 degrees in growing children to prevent further progression of the curve while growth of the spine remains. The goal of bracing is to prevent further progression since the brace cannot correct curves.
    Surgical Treatment
    This reserved for curves which are generally greater than 50 degrees for adolescent patients and adults. Surgery can be performed for smaller curves if the appearance of the curvature is bothersome to the patient or if symptoms are associated with the scoliosis in the adult patient.

Knee Arthroscopic Surgery : Best Treatment for Knee Pain

Arthroscopic knee surgery may be a treatment option for certain types of knee pain. Arthroscopic surgery is a procedure that involves inserting a small camera inside the joint. Through other small incisions, instruments can be inserted to repair or remove damaged structures. Arthroscopic knee surgery is often called "scoping the knee" or knee arthroscopy.

Arthroscopy is done through small incisions. During the procedure, your orthopaedic surgeon inserts the arthroscope (a small camera instrument about the size of a pencil) into your knee joint. The arthroscope sends the image to a television monitor. On the monitor, your surgeon can see the structures of the knee in great detail.

Arthroscopy may be recommended for these knee problems:

•     Torn meniscus. Meniscus is cartilage that cushions the space between the bones in the knee. Surgery is done to repair or remove it.
•     Torn or damaged anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) or posterior cruciate ligament (PCL)
•     Swollen (inflamed) or damaged lining of the joint. This lining is called the synovium.
•     Kneecap (patella) that is out of position (misalignment).
•     Small pieces of broken cartilage in the knee joint
•     Removal of Baker's cyst -- a swelling behind the knee that is filled with fluid. Sometimes this occurs when there is swelling and pain (inflammation) from other causes, like arthritis.
•     Some fractures of the bones of the knee

Arthroscopic Procedure India : 

The orthopaedic surgeon will make a few small incisions in your knee. A sterile solution will be used to fill the knee joint and rinse away any cloudy fluid. This helps your orthopaedic surgeon see your knee clearly and in great detail.

surgeon first task is to properly diagnose your problem. He or she will insert the arthroscope and use the image projected on the screen to guide it. If surgical treatment is needed, your surgeon will insert tiny instruments through another small incision. These instruments might be scissors, motorized shavers, or lasers.

This part of the procedure usually lasts 30 minutes to over an hour. How long it takes depends upon the findings and the treatment necessary.

Arthroscopy for the knee is most commonly used for:

•     Removal or repair of torn meniscal cartilage
•     Reconstruction of a torn anterior cruciate ligament
•     Trimming of torn pieces of articular cartilage
•     Removal of loose fragments of bone or cartilage
•     Removal of inflamed synovial tissue

Your surgeon may close your incisions with a stitch or steri-strips (small bandaids) and cover them with a soft bandage.

Benefits of Arthroscopic Surgery

•     Arthroscopic surgery is generally easier on the patient than open surgery.
•     Many patients have arthroscopic surgery as outpatients, either in a hospital or in a day surgery centre. They have the procedure early in the day, and leave in the afternoon or early evening.
•     The small surgical wounds from the arthroscopy, often not needing stitches, ensure a more pleasing appearance than the scars caused by open surgery.
•     Because the wounds are small, the patient's immediate postoperative pain is reduced. Patients usually go back to work or school or resume daily activities within a few days.

We offer best treatments for knee arthroscopic at affordable cost. Arthroscopic surgery is  carried out under the guidance of well experienced surgeon in India.
