At Devadoss Hospital, we understand that orthopedic conditions can significantly impact your quality of life. Our expert team is equipped to diagnose and treat a wide range of musculoskeletal disorders, including:
Chronic heartburn and discomfort caused by stomach acid flowing back into the esophagus.
Painful sores in the stomach or duodenal lining, often caused by H. pylori infection or NSAIDs.
A functional gastrointestinal disorder causing abdominal pain and altered bowel habits.
A type of inflammatory bowel disease that can affect any part of the gastrointestinal tract.
Scarring of the liver tissue due to long-term damage, often caused by hepatitis or alcohol abuse.
Inflammation of the liver, commonly due to viral infections, leading to liver dysfunction.
Inflammation of the pancreas, which can cause severe abdominal pain and digestive issues.
Hard deposits formed in the gallbladder that can block bile ducts and cause pain and infection.
Osteoarthritis – It is a chronic condition that affects the joints, particularly the knee, hip, and spine joints that support body weight. It reduces the width of the joint area and obliterates the cartilage that protects the ends of bones. In addition, it may lead to impaired function, bone spurs, and excessive bone development. That occurs in most people as they age. Young people may also get it as a result of an accident or overuse.
Tendinitis – A tendon that connects muscle to bone can become inflamed and people experience tendinitis. The most typical signs and symptoms are soreness, swelling, and discomfort in the affected area. Moreover, it may result in a decreased range of motion and muscular weakening. It may occasionally result in a noticeable bump on the tendon. Repetitive actions, excessive use, physical damage, and some medical problems like arthritis can all contribute to tendinitis. Rest, physical therapy, anti-inflammatory drugs, and surgery are frequently used as treatments.

The recovery process for joint replacement surgery varies from person to person, but most patients are able to walk with the help of crutches or a walker within a few days of surgery. Most patients are able to return home from the hospital within a week of surgery. The full recovery process can take several months, but most patients are able to return to their normal activities within a year of surgery.
The benefits of joint replacement surgery include pain relief, improved mobility, and a better quality of life. Most patients who have joint replacement surgery report significant improvement in their pain and ability to function.
There are two main types of artificial joints: cemented and uncemented. Cemented joints are fixed in place with a type of glue, while uncemented joints are allowed to bond to the bone over time. The type of joint that is best for you will depend on your individual circumstances.
There are two main techniques used for joint replacement surgery: traditional and minimally invasive. Traditional surgery involves making a large incision in the affected area, while minimally invasive surgery uses smaller incisions and specialized instruments. Minimally invasive surgery is typically associated with a shorter recovery time and less pain.
The lifespan of a joint replacement varies from person to person, but most implants last for 15-20 years. In some cases, implants may need to be replaced sooner due to wear and tear or complications.
