For severe orthopedic conditions, there are multiple surgical procedures. At the Prashant Hospital, there is best surgeon in north bihar . Our specialty is providing a state-of-the-art joint replacement for knee, hip, or shoulder replacement with cutting-edge technologies.

Hip fractures and replacement surgery: A hip fracture is a serious injury that can occur when the hip bone is broken. It is most common in older adults and mostly happens because of falls, osteoporosis, or other medical conditions. This surgery treats severe hip conditions, including hip fractures. During the procedure, the damaged hip joint is removed and replaced with an artificial joint, also known as a prosthesis.

Knee Replacement Surgery: We perform partial and total knee replacements

During procedure We remove damaged knee & replace that with an artificial joint, also known as a prosthesis. The prosthesis can be made of various materials, including metal, plastic, or ceramic, and is designed to function like a natural knee joint.

1. Shoulder and Elbow Replacement: We specialize in total and reverse shoulder replacement, which allows the shoulder to function properly and relieves pain. This is done for arthritis and fractures around the shoulder. Similarly, we perform elbow replacements for elbow arthritis and fractures. During the procedure, the damaged joint is removed and replaced with an artificial joint, also known as a prosthesis. The prosthesis can be made of various materials, including metal, plastic, or ceramic, and is designed to function like a natural joint.
2. Trauma and fracture management: trauma and fracture management treat the condition of injuries and fractures affecting the bones, joints, and soft tissues of the musculoskeletal system. We specialize in complex and open fracture management as well as the management of fractures around replaced metallic joints.
3. Fracture Repair: According to the Our Experts , the fracture repair surgery procedure repairs broken bones and allows them to heal over time. The most common techniques used to repair fractures include casting, open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), and external fixation.
4. Ligament and tendon repair: Ligament and tendon injuries can be very painful and limiting. Ligaments are fibrous tissues that connect bones to each other, while tendons are fibrous tissues that connect muscles to bones. For ligament injuries, the surgeon may use sutures or other devices to repair the torn ligament or may use a graft to replace the damaged tissue. The graft can be taken from another part of the patient's body or from a donor. For tendon injuries, the surgeon may also use sutures or other devices to repair the damaged tendon or may use a graft to replace the damaged tissue. In some cases, the surgeon may need to detach the tendon from the bone and reattach it using screws or other devices. We do ACL and PCL arthroscopic reconstructions in the knee. We do rotator cuff tendon repair arthroscopically in the shoulder. We also treat shoulder dislocations arthroscopically.
5. Soft-tissue or bone tumor removal surgery removes abnormal growths (tumors) from the body. This surgery prevents the tumor from re growing. In some cases, the surgeon may also need to remove nearby lymph nodes to check for the spread of cancer.
6. Hand Surgery: There are modern hand and foot surgeries like carpal tunnel release, trigger finger release, and tendon repair or reconstruction. Carpal tunnel release involves cutting the ligament that is compressing the median nerve in the wrist to relieve symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome. We also do replacement of small joints in the hands for arthritis, as well as fusion surgery for painful joints.
7. Correction of Bone Deformities: This surgical procedure aims to restore the normal alignment and function of deformed bones due to injury, disease, or congenital abnormalities. It involves making precise cuts in the bone and repositioning the fragments in the correct alignment. The most common techniques used to correct bone deformities are osteotomies, distraction osteogenesis, and bone grafting.
8. Spine Surgery: This surgery treats chronic issues of the spine, such as degenerative disc disease, herniated discs, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, and spinal cord injuries. The surgery can be done through open surgery or minimally invasive surgery, depending on the specific condition and the surgeon's expertise. The most common types of spine surgery include discectomy, laminectomy, spinal fusion, artificial disc replacement, and
9. Debridement of Damaged Tissue: Debridement is the process of removing damaged, dead, or infected tissue from a wound or injured area. This is often done to promote healing and prevent infection. The damaged tissue can interfere with healing and provide a breeding ground for bacteria, which can lead to infection. This surgery includes mechanical debridement, enzymatic debridement, autolytic debridement, and surgical debridement.
