Arthritis & Bone Injuries
About the Condition
Joint pain and bone injuries can affect anyone, from young people after a fall or sports injury to older adults with arthritis. Our orthopaedic team treats fractures, joint pain, sprains and back problems.
Osteoarthritis of the knee is the most common joint problem in adults over 45 and happens when the cushioning cartilage in the joint wears down. Extra weight, past injuries and weak thigh muscles increase the risk. Fractures and ligament injuries usually follow a fall, accident or sports injury. With X-ray and CT scan on-site, our team can diagnose bone injuries quickly and begin treatment, from plaster and splints to surgery when needed.
Common Symptoms
Early treatment of joint problems helps keep you mobile, while bone injuries need prompt assessment. See an orthopaedic doctor if you notice any of the following.
Diagnosis & Treatment at Healyn
Joint pain may come from arthritis, injury, gout or other causes, so a correct diagnosis comes first. Our orthopaedic doctor examines the joint and uses X-rays or scans where needed. Treatment begins with the least invasive option that will work, combining medicines, physiotherapy and lifestyle advice. Fractures are aligned and immobilised, and surgery is recommended only when it offers a clear benefit.
When to See a Doctor
OPD timings vary, so please call +91 63666 14481 to confirm. Injuries are seen in our 24/7 emergency.
How We Treat It
Care is planned with you, from simple measures to surgery when it is truly needed.
Recovery & Follow-up
Most people with knee arthritis can reduce pain and stay active with weight control, muscle-strengthening exercise and the right treatment. Fractures usually heal in six to twelve weeks, depending on the bone and the patient’s age, followed by physiotherapy to restore movement. Regular follow-up keeps healing on track. This guide is general information; please consult our orthopaedic doctor for advice on your condition.
