Dr. Kirthi Paladugu Ortho Surgeon uses special instruments which are attached to the patients. Using the surgical navigation system (camera), the location and the movement of the patient’s knee/hip is tracked and navigated throughout the surgery. The system provides feedback of the instrument location which is particularly useful in situations especially in minimally invasive surgeries where the surgeon cannot see the tip of the instrument.
Knee Replacement:
Your knee joint is one of the largest and most complex joints in the body. The knee, also known as the memorability joint, is a synovial hinge joint formed between three bones: the femur, tibia, and patella. The knee joins the thigh bone (femur) to the shin bone (tibia). The smaller bone that runs alongside the tibia (fibula) and the kneecap (patella) is the other bones that make the knee joint. Movements at the knee joint help in everyday activities, including walking, running, sitting and standing.
Hip Joint:
The hip joint is the largest ball-and-socket synovial joint in our body and also one of the largest weight-bearing joints of the body. This ball-and-socket joint helps you move your legs during everyday activities such as walking and climbing up and down the stairs. The hip joint consists of two main parts: Femoral head and Acetabulum.
The shoulder joint is one of the most complex and mobile joints in the body. As it allows nearly 360-degree movements, it is a highly unstable joint and prone to dislocations. Among the young and active individuals with repeated episodes of dislocation, labral, cuff tear or impingement, Arthroscopic repair can work wonders and odor stable, pain-free joints.
