Knee Replacement Surgery : Replaces a damaged knee joint with a prosthetic implant to relieve pain, improve mobility, and restore function.

Hip Replacement Surgery : Replaces a worn-out or damaged hip joint with a prosthetic implant to alleviate pain, increase mobility, and enhance daily activities.

Joint Replacement Surgery : A broader term encompassing knee and hip replacements, but can also refer to other joints like shoulders or ankles.

Trauma Management Based on AO Principles : ย A standardized approach to treating bone fractures based on the AO Foundation's classification system. It focuses on anatomical reduction (realignment) and stable fixation using plates, screws, or other implants.

Osteotomy : A surgical procedure that involves cutting and realigning a bone to correct deformities, improve joint mechanics, and alleviate pain. This can be used for conditions like bowleggedness (genu valgum) or knock-knees (genu varum).

Sports Related Injuries : Addresses a wide range of injuries sustained during sports activities, including ligament tears, muscle strains, and bone fractures. Treatments may involve surgery, physical therapy, and rehabilitation.

Primary and Revision Surgery of Knee and Hip : ย "Primary" refers to the first-time implantation of a prosthetic joint. "Revision" surgery addresses complications or wear and tear of a previously implanted joint, replacing it with a new prosthesis.

Computer-Assisted Knee and Hip Replacement :ย Uses computer software and navigation systems to improve accuracy, alignment, and implant positioning during knee and hip replacement surgery.

Unicompartmental Replacement Surgery : Replaces only the damaged portion of a knee joint (medial or lateral) with a smaller prosthetic implant, preserving healthy bone and potentially offering a faster recovery compared to total knee replacement.

Hip and Knee Resurfacing : A bone-preserving alternative to traditional joint replacement in younger patients with good bone quality. This procedure involves replacing the worn surfaces of the joint with a metal cap instead of a full prosthetic implant.
