The Orthopaedics Department at Ratna Hospital provides comprehensive care for disorders related to bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, and the spine. With a team of experienced orthopaedic surgeons, advanced diagnostic facilities, and modern operation theatres, the department offers specialised treatment ranging from fracture management to complex joint reconstruction and sports injury care. The focus is on restoring mobility, reducing pain, and improving the quality of life for patients of all ages.

Comprehensive Orthopaedic Assessment & Diagnostics

Accurate diagnosis is essential for successful orthopaedic treatment. The department is supported by digital X-ray, ultrasound, CT/MRI scans, and advanced laboratory services, ensuring timely and precise evaluation. Each patient undergoes a thorough clinical assessment, including gait analysis, range-of-motion testing, and musculoskeletal evaluation.

Conditions commonly evaluated include joint pain, sports injuries, fractures, back and neck pain, arthritis, and congenital musculoskeletal disorders.

Trauma & Fracture Care

Ratna Hospital offers 24×7 emergency orthopaedic services for injuries resulting from accidents, falls, or sports activities. Trauma care includes:

• Fracture fixation with plates, screws, rods, or nails
• Management of complex fractures
• Treatment of dislocations and ligament injuries
• Care for open wounds and polytrauma patients

The aim is early stabilisation, minimal complications, and faster rehabilitation, helping patients return to their routine safely and quickly.

Joint Replacement Surgery

With the rise in arthritis and age-related joint degeneration, joint replacement has become a critical subspecialty. The Orthopaedics Department provides advanced solutions including:

• Total Knee Replacement (TKR)
• Total Hip Replacement (THR)
• Partial Knee Replacement
• Revision Joint Replacement

Modern implants, minimally invasive techniques, and enhanced recovery protocols enable shorter hospital stays and improved mobility.

Arthroscopy & Sports Injury Management

Athletes and active individuals often face ligament tears, cartilage injuries, and repetitive strain problems. The hospital offers specialised sports medicine and arthroscopic surgery for:

• ACL, PCL, and meniscus tears
• Shoulder instability and rotator cuff tears
• Ankle ligament injuries
• Cartilage restoration procedures

Arthroscopy ensures smaller incisions, less pain, and quicker return to physical activity.

Spine Care & Surgery

Back and neck problems are increasingly common due to posture issues, ageing, and lifestyle factors. The department provides treatment for:

• Slip disc (cervical/lumbar)
• Spinal stenosis
• Spondylolisthesis
• Vertebral fractures
• Degenerative spine disease
• Spinal infections

Depending on the severity, patients may receive conservative therapy or undergo procedures such as microdiscectomy, decompression, and stabilisation surgeries.

Paediatric Orthopaedics

Children require specialised musculoskeletal care as their bones are still developing. The department manages:

• Congenital deformities such as clubfoot
• Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH)
• Limb length discrepancies
• Paediatric fractures
• Postural issues
• Gait abnormalities

Early diagnosis and timely treatment ensure proper growth and long-term function.

Hand, Wrist & Foot Surgery

The Orthopaedics team treats conditions such as:

• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Trigger finger
• Tendon injuries
• Foot deformities
• Heel pain
• Complex hand fractures

These surgeries focus on preserving function, mobility, and fine motor skills.

Rheumatology & Arthritis Management

Chronic joint pain and inflammatory disorders such as osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gout are managed through:

• Medication therapy
• Joint injections
• Physical therapy
• Lifestyle modification counselling

A personalised approach helps in reducing pain and improving daily function.
