Orthopaedics

Orthopaedics is a medical speciality focused on the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of various conditions that affect your:

• Bones
• Joints
• Ligaments
• Tendons
• Muscles
• Nerves

Our team of expert orthopaedic doctors and surgeons (also called orthopaedists) manage everything from arthritis and fractures to complex spinal deformities and joint replacements.

Orthopaedics includes various specialities to ensure that our patients get the best care for their specific needs. Each subspeciality deals with certain problems and treatments. Additionally, our experts closely work together as a team to provide complete care in these areas:

• Joint Replacement: In cases of severe arthritis or injury, we replace damaged hip, knee, or shoulder joints..
• Spine Surgery: We treat conditions that affect the back and spine, including slipped discs, spinal deformities, and injuries.
• Sports Medicine: We focus on sports-related injuries such as ligament tears, meniscus injuries, and dislocations.
• Paediatric Orthopaedics: We care for birth defects, growth problems, and injuries in children.
• Orthopaedic Oncology: We deals with tumors of the bones and soft tissues. Finding these early and treating them with the right surgery is very important.
• Trauma and Emergency Care: Accidents and falls can cause fractures or dislocations. Our trauma team provides fast, expert care to save lives and preserve function.
• Hand and Upper Limb Surgery: Involves treating hand fractures, tendon injuries, and nerve problems. Restoring function is the primary goal.

Each subspecialty follows the latest medical standards to ensure you receive specialized and up-to-date treatment options every time.

At CMRI Hospital, Kolkata, we believe in offering essential orthopaedic care—meaning you receive only what is necessary, in the most effective way, to return to a pain-free life.

Non-Surgical Treatments

• Medications: For pain, swelling, or infection.
• Physiotherapy: To improve movement and reduce stiffness.
• Traction: One of the oldest but still essential orthopaedics techniques.
  Different types of traction are used to treat fractures and spine problems.
• Braces and splints: Help support joints or reduce motion.
• Injections: Steroids or lubricants used for joint pain relief.
• Rehabilitation: Important after any major injury or surgery

Surgical Treatments

• Fracture fixation: Using screws, plates, or rods to fix broken bones.
• Joint replacement surgery: Damaged joints replaced with artificial implants.
• Arthroscopy: A small camera is inserted to treat joint problems.
• Spinal fusion: Two or more vertebrae are fused to stabilise the spine.
• Tendon and ligament repair: Often needed in sports or accidental injuries.
• Corrective surgery: For birth defects or bone deformities.

Every surgery is done with utmost safety and precision. We follow international protocols to reduce risks and improve outcomes. You receive full support before, during, and after surgery.
