About Orthopaedics in Alappuzha
Orthopaedic surgeons treat problems of the bones, joints, ligaments and tendons — from arthritis and fractures to torn ligaments and sports injuries. Treatment ranges from physiotherapy and injections to arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery and joint replacement. Of the 11 orthopaedics treatments on Go Surgery, 6 usually let you go home the same day or the next.
Joint replacement is usually considered when arthritis causes pain that limits daily life and hasn't improved with weight management, physiotherapy and medication. Arthroscopy lets the surgeon look inside and repair a joint through small incisions, and is commonly used for knee and shoulder injuries.
Rehabilitation matters as much as the operation itself: a structured physiotherapy plan after surgery is what restores strength and range of movement.
Conditions
These are common reasons patients in Alappuzha seek a orthopaedics consultation.
Knee Arthritis
Knee osteoarthritis is wear of the cartilage that cushions the knee joint, causing pain, stiffness and reduced movement.
Hip Arthritis
Hip arthritis, including avascular necrosis of the hip, damages the hip joint and causes groin pain and limping.
ACL Tear
The anterior cruciate ligament stabilises the knee. It is commonly torn in sports involving sudden stops and twists.
Meniscus Tear
The menisci are C-shaped cartilage cushions in the knee. Tears can happen with twisting injuries or with wear in older adults.
Rotator Cuff Tear
The rotator cuff is a group of tendons that control the shoulder. Tears cause pain and weakness lifting the arm.
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome
Carpal tunnel syndrome is compression of the median nerve at the wrist, causing numbness and tingling in the hand.
Treatments
Total Knee Replacement
The damaged surfaces of the knee joint are replaced with metal and plastic components to relieve arthritis pain and restore movement.
Partial Knee Replacement
Only the worn part of the knee (usually the inner side) is replaced, preserving the healthy parts and ligaments. It suits carefully selected patients.
Total Hip Replacement
The damaged ball and socket of the hip are replaced with artificial components, relieving pain and improving mobility.
ACL Reconstruction
The torn ACL is replaced with a graft (usually from your own hamstring or patellar tendon) arthroscopically to restore knee stability.
Knee Arthroscopy
A camera is inserted into the knee through small incisions to diagnose and treat problems such as meniscus tears and loose bodies.
Meniscus Repair
A torn meniscus is stitched arthroscopically so it can heal, preserving the knee's natural cushion.
Shoulder Arthroscopy
Small incisions and a camera are used to treat shoulder problems such as impingement, labral tears and recurrent dislocation.
Rotator Cuff Repair
The torn tendon is reattached to the bone using anchors, usually arthroscopically.
Carpal Tunnel Release
The ligament roofing the carpal tunnel is cut to relieve pressure on the median nerve.
Fracture Fixation (ORIF)
Broken bones are realigned and held with plates, screws, rods or wires so they heal in the correct position.
Bunion Surgery
The bones of the big toe are realigned (osteotomy) to correct a painful bunion.

FAQs
When should I consider knee replacement?
When knee arthritis causes pain that limits walking, sleep or daily activities despite physiotherapy, weight management and medication, and X-rays show advanced joint damage.
How long do joint replacements last?
Most modern knee and hip replacements last many years — commonly 15–20 years or more — depending on activity level, weight and other factors.
Do all ligament tears need surgery?
No. Some partial tears heal with rest and physiotherapy. Complete ACL tears in active people, or tears causing the knee to give way, are more often treated surgically.
Will I need physiotherapy after surgery?
Almost always. Physiotherapy usually starts within a day or two of joint surgery and continues for several weeks.
