Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy or Arthroscopic surgery is a surgical
procedure used to identify, visualize and treat
any issues within joints using a special
instrument called an arthroscope. Arthroscope is
afiberoptic tube containing a small camera or
lens and lighting equipment to magnify and
illuminate joint anatomy. The camera mounted to
the arthroscope projects pictures of joint
structures on a television screen, allowing
surgeons to inspect the joint or other areas,
such as ligaments, cartilage, and tendons to
perform the repair.

Fracture
Globally, the incidence of fractures has
increased dramatically in recent years. It is due
to the fast-paced lifestyle, increased injuries
and lack of exercise that leads to weak bones
(Osteoporosis) and a longer life expectancy.
Nearly everybody knows someone who has suffered
from a bone fracture. Although fractures are a
very common problem, there is not much
information on how to properly treat them. While
fractures cant be completely avoided, there are
ways you can reduce your risk. A way to minimize
your fracture risk is to build stronger bones,
and keep them healthy.

Knee Replacement Surgery

• Knee replacement surgery is the treatment for end
  stage knee arthritis. You can determine if you
  have end stage arthritis from one of the
  following symptoms
• Inability to walk inside the house even for
  routine activities like going to the kitchen or
  the loo.
• Inability to sleep at night due to pain
• You have a sensation of knee buckling under you
  when doing routine activities
• Once you have any of the above symptoms, you can
  rest assured that no amount of tablets or
  physiotherapy can help you anymore. However, you
  will benefit immensely from a knee replacement
  surgery.

Hip replacement surgery
Hip replacement surgery is considered amongst the
most successful operations in all of medicine.
Since the early 1960s, improvements in surgical
techniques and technology have tremendously
increased the effectiveness of total hip
replacement. Patients are able to go from being
bedridden to walking freely without support
within few days of surgery. The most typical
cause of long duration hip pain and functional
disability is arthritis. In hip replacement
surgery, the damaged cartilage and bone is shaved
and replaced by prosthetic parts.

Sports Medicine
Sport medicine is concentrated on preventing and
treating injuries resulting from sports or
exercise. A sports physician like Dr. Ganesh
Navaneedhanis the best person to assist
you. Apart from being capable of quickly
diagnosing and treating these kinds of injuries,
the main advantage of a sports medicine doctor is
the ability to use alternative techniques to
avoid having to undergo surgery. Doctors of
sports medicine not just treat injuries but teach
you how to take care of injuries while staying in
good shape. Most often, they handle non-surgical
treatment for injuries to bones, muscles, or
joints

Physiotherapy
Physiotherapists diagnose and manage injuries and
disorders of the musculoskeletal structure and
help patients recover from surgical procedures.
They have been trained to treat joints after
surgery, injuries to sports, arthritis,
amputations, etc. Strength training, Joint
mobilizations, cold and hot packs, as well as
electrical stimulation, are some of the methods
employed to speed up healing in the orthopedic
setting. Dr Ganesh has an excellent team of
physiotherapists who specialize in rehabilitation
of patients with sports injuries, strains,
sprains, fractures and who have undergone joint
replacement surgery. .

Spine Surgery
Neck problems and Low back pain are two of the
most common issues related to the spine. Many
back problems can be caused by injury to the
muscle, nerve, disc, or ligament. Poor posture
can lead to spinal injuries and nerve damage.
Only a very small number of people suffering from
neck or back pain will need to have spine
surgery. Dr Ganesh is an expert on spine injuries
in Trivandrum who can assess the cause of your
back pain and recommend spine surgery when all
other treatment options have failed.

Anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL)

• Anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL) injuries are
  more common in sports people. It can also occur
  in a non sporting scenario such as road traffic
  accident or a simple fall down the stairs
  resulting in twisting injury to the knee. The
  primary purpose of the ACL is to keep the tibia
  (shin bone) from sliding forward and turning on
  the femur (thigh bone) in the knee joint.
• Symptoms that commonly occur
• A pop from the knee can be heard or felt.
• Pain or discomfort in the Knee.
• Swelling and Discolouration of the knee
• Restriction in knee range of movement.

Shoulder Dislocation Treatment
The shoulder joint can move in a wide range of
directions depending on the function of many
bones, ligaments, soft tissues, and tendons. A
shoulder dislocation happens when the top portion
of the upper arm bone (ball of the shoulder)
slips out from the cup-shaped socket (glenoid).
A dislocation can cause severe pain and
instability in the shoulder. If the shoulder is
partially dislocated, it is called shoulder
subluxation.
12
Tennis Elbow Treatment
Medically known as lateral epicondylitis, tennis
elbow is a common condition especially for people
in sports specifically like tennis or anything
that involves a racquet where the person tends to
apply more pressure and force to the elbow than
the usual. It also occurs in common people where
they overuse the elbow for any sort of
work. Treatment for the tennis elbow is the need
of the hour as the pain can be excruciating at
times disrupting the normal activity.Tennis elbow
is primarily caused by a temporary damage to the
specific forearm muscle due to excessive use of
the elbow or sudden force or pressure applied to
the region.
