Department of Orthopaedics and Joint Replacement

The Orthopaedics and Joint Replacement department of our hospital provides comprehensive treatment for all bone and joint problems. We are one of the best hospitals for joint replacement in Hyderabad and have a wide variety of diagnostics that we provide to our patients. Being one of the best Orthopaedic hospitals in Hyderabad, we provide the highest level of patient care with professional expertise to our patients.

Some methods for the diagnosis of Orthopaedic conditions are:

Arthrography

Arthrography is a type of imaging done by way of an X-ray of the joints. The joints to be examined can be of knees, shoulders, wrists, elbows or even jaws. Computed tomography (CT) scanning, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or fluoroscopy may be performed after arthrography to image the joint.

Bone scans

A bone scan is an imaging test used to help diagnose problems with bone metabolism. It safely uses a minimal amount of radiopharmaceutical, which is referred to as a “dye” but does not stain your bones. It can also be used to determine if cancer has spread from the bone to other parts of the body.

Discography

It uses imaging guidance to inject contrast material into the centre of one or more spinal discs to help identify the source of back pain directly. It also is used to help guide the Orthopaedic Surgeon to determine the suspect disc before surgery.

Doppler Ultrasound

A Doppler ultrasound is a test that uses high-frequency sound waves to measure the amount of blood flow to your arms and legs by bouncing off high-frequency sound waves against red blood cells. It is a non-invasive, pain-free procedure that can reveal blocked arteries early on in the patient.

Dual Energy X-ray Absorptiometry

Dual-energy X-ray Absorptiometry (DEXA) uses a minimal dose of ionizing radiation to produce pictures of the inside of the body to measure bone loss. It is commonly used to diagnose osteoporosis. DEXA is simple, quick, and non-invasive.

Electromyography

Electromyography (EMG) is a diagnostic procedure that analyses the health condition of muscles. An EMG translates the electric nerve signals into graphs, helping doctors to make a diagnosis.

Flexibility Test

Flexibility tests are used to measure the range of motion in the patient and are often part of the physical examination. They are used to help determine whether you have arthritis in a joint. It is a minimally invasive, painless procedure.

Peripheral Bone Density

A bone density test determines if you have Osteoporosis — a disorder characterized by bones that are more fragile and more likely to break. The test uses X-rays to measure the amount of calcium and other bone minerals in a segment of bone. Doctors use bone density testing to determine your risk of broken bones (fractures), confirm a diagnosis of osteoporosis, and monitor osteoporosis treatment.
