Orthopaedics covers your bones, joints, ligaments, tendons and muscles - pretty much your entire musculoskeletal system. Some of the conditions treated include sprained ankle and slipped disc.
An orthopaedic doctor assesses how your joints move, diagnoses what’s wrong and whether you need to rest, go to physio, or have surgery. Orthopaedics covers every age group, from kids to elderly, athletes to desk-jockeys. Basically if you’ve ever had a hurt knee and wondered whether you need to see a doctor or just rest it, orthopaedics is the specialty you’re looking for.
Here’s a quick look at some of the conditions orthopaedic doctors at Big Apollo Spectra treat:

Orthopaedic conditions don’t usually fall into
just one category. We have separated them into four sections according to the
area of the body they affect. Hopefully, this will allow you to easily see
which category your symptoms fall under and what kind of treatment you would
need.
Knee and joint related conditions are some of the most prevalent conditions that lead patients to see a doctor in our orthopaedic department. Knee arthritis is joint inflammation that is caused by aging or an autoimmune disease. Symptoms include stiffness and swelling that progressively gets worse.
Knee pain that isn’t caused by injury is
usually caused by wearing down of cartilage over time, old injuries that have
started causing pain, or from overuse of a joint. If you are looking at knee
pain treatment in Patna, first discussing your knee pain causes with our ortho doctor is
crucial.
Conditions of your spine will impact how you
sit, stand, and go about your daily life. A slipped disc occurs when the soft
tissue between your vertebrae either bulges or ruptures. Sciatica is a
condition that causes shooting pain down your leg due to nerve compression.
Spinal stenosis is the narrowing of the area around your spinal cord and causes
numbness or weakness. Degenerative spine conditions take time to develop as you
age, and treating them in time is crucial.
These conditions often require immediate care. Simple or complex fractures can range from small hairline cracks in your bone to breaks that will require surgery to put a plate or pins to repair it. Joint dislocations are when a joint is forced out of its normal position which typically occurs from a fall or impact.
At Big Apollo Spectra, Multi-trauma cases are
also treated. It refers to multiple fractures or extensive soft-tissue trauma
which will be repaired with various coordinated surgical interventions. Bone
deformities can occur at birth or due to old trauma; this can cause your bones
to be out of correct alignment, which requires corrective surgery.
Sports injuries and soft-tissue related injuries can happen to anyone active or playing sports. ACL and PCL injuries involve tears or damage to the ligaments that support your knees. These injuries often require you to sit on the sidelines for several months. Damage to tendons, which may even include tears, can limit the use of your muscles and cause chronic pain. On the other hand, injuries to your rotator cuff limit the range of motion in your shoulders, causing you pain when doing simple tasks such as reaching for something on a top shelf. Joint injuries related to sports range from ankle sprains to shoulder dislocations, and Big Apollo Spectra’s ortho team is equipped to handle it all.
Don’t suffer in pain until it’s unbearable – here are some indicators that will let you know when you need to see an ortho specialist:
●
Joint pain that persists or
swelling that doesn’t go away even with rest
●
Limited range of motion, when
stiffness prevents you from bending or straightening a joint as far as you
normally would
●
Limited mobility of shoulder, hip
or knee
●
Experiencing pain after an old
injury, after periods of activity, which may suggest it didn’t heal properly
●
Radiating numbness down your arm
or leg – this can be a sign of nerve compression and may point towards a spine
issue
● Trouble walking or pain severe enough that it keeps you awake at night and affects your daily life
Suspected broken bone/fracture or dislocation: These injuries require immediate trauma care and should be brought to the emergency department. Avoid making a regular appointment for these. Call Emergency Line - 0612-3540100
Timing is key and will ensure we can begin treating you sooner.
Your doctor will start by taking your medical history. When did the pain start? What activities cause it? Have you had any previous injuries or surgeries in the same area? Then our doctors will perform a physical exam of the affected area checking for swelling, tenderness and warmth. They will also check the range of motion by comparing how far your joint bends, rotates or extends against normal movement. Their hands-on evaluation usually points them towards a diagnosis before any imaging takes place.
After your physical exam, your doctor may order the following imaging/tests to confirm a diagnosis:
●
X-ray:
This is typically the first imaging test performed and can show fractures,
narrowing of joint space, and abnormalities in bone alignment
●
MRI:
If more detail is needed, your doctor may order an MRI. These are great for
visualizing ligaments, cartilage, and compression of nerves.
●
CT Scan: Ordered when clinically indicated, typically for complex fractures and
pre-operative planning for certain surgeries.
● Blood work to check for inflammation, depending on the suspected diagnosis.
Your doctor will not look at these results in isolation. Rather, they interpret the imaging together with your symptoms and physical exam to make an accurate diagnosis. Backed by Big Apollo Spectra’s in-house Radiology & Imaging department, we have everything you need under one roof.
Once we have a confirmed diagnosis, we can discuss treatments. At Big Apollo Spectra, treatment isn't a one-size-fits-all approach.
Treatment options vary depending on your
condition, its severity, your age, activity level and overall health of the
patient. An injury like a ligament tear in a young sportsperson will have a
very different treatment approach when compared to arthritis in an elderly
patient. This is why we design your treatment plan around your exact condition.
Many orthopaedic injuries and conditions can be treated without going under the knife. These methods are often used when you first present with an injury. Medications can be used to control pain and inflammation in the short term. Modification of activities (avoiding things that make your injury worse) allow your tissues to rest and heal. Physiotherapy allows you to strengthen muscles around a joint and improve flexibility. Often this is the cornerstone of long-term management.
Bracing can provide extra support to joints.
Injections can be used to control inflammation and give you temporary pain
relief. Clinically, injections are used when needed and recommended. Lastly,
rehabilitation programmes allow you to tie all of the above and take you
step-by-step towards recovery.
If non-surgical management fails to provide
you with adequate relief from your symptoms, then we may recommend moving onto
minimally invasive procedures. Knee arthroscopy surgery in Patna involves
making a small incision to insert a tiny camera to visualise the joints and
treating the condition using small instruments. This technique has been
extended to spine conditions as well soft-tissue conditions. Endoscopic spine
procedure is also used where applicable. By minimising trauma to the
surrounding tissues, patients can often enjoy faster recovery times.
Surgery is reserved for conditions that are too severe or advanced to be managed by more conservative methods. Total joint replacements can restore function back to damaged joints. Fracture fixation can be used to stabilize broken bones with plates, screws or rods. Ligament reconstructions can repair torn ligaments with grafts. Deformity corrections realigns bones from either congenital or acquired conditions.
Spine surgeries are used to treat disorders
affecting your spinal column like herniated discs or spinal stenosis. Revision
surgeries are required if a previous operation needs to be redone. Every
patient is unique and not every procedure will be right for every patient. That
is why your surgeon will recommend the best option that fits your condition and
overall health.
Knee replacement is considered when pain from arthritis or damage to your knee becomes persistent and affects your walking ability, your stair-climbing prowess, and even your sleep schedule. Learn about these signs you may need joint replacement surgery and know for sure.
Total knee replacement surgery in Patna at Big Apollo Spectra involves taking out the affected joint surface and implanting a prosthesis so that your joint movement is restored and you feel less pain. We suggest this surgery only when we have evaluated your joint condition along with your general health and activity requirements.
Your orthopaedic surgeon walks you through your entire journey – right from your pre-surgery consultation to your post-surgery recovery – modifying the plan at every step to suit your body’s response to treatment.
If you're searching for a knee replacement surgeon in Patna or a joint replacement surgeon in Patna, this evaluation process, not a single appointment, is where that relationship really begins.
Cost is naturally one of the first questions
people ask once surgery is on the table, and it's a fair one. Read more:

Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement uses computer navigation technology to aid your surgeon in both planning and performing your knee replacement procedure. Planning your knee replacement before surgery allows your surgeon to analyze the size and orientation of implants required for your knee using a 3D model of your knee generated from imaging studies done before your surgery.
Robotic-Assisted Knee Replacement allows your surgeon to perform your knee replacement with the assistance of computer technology that guides accurate bone cutting and placement of the implant during surgery.
Better fit and placement of the implant can lead to improved function of the joint after surgery.
Robotic Knee Replacement in Patna is ideally suited for patients with joint anatomy or severity of deformity that will benefit from more precise preoperative planning. Every case is evaluated individually when deciding if robotic surgery is right for you.
The orthopaedic department at Big Apollo Spectra treats all kinds of problems related to spine & musculoskeletal concerns. There’s no need to search elsewhere if you have concerns related to your back or neck. We treat – slip disc, sciatica, nerve compression, degenerative diseases of spine, or just pain in your neck or back that’s affecting your day to day movements.
Many spinal disorders can be treated
conservatively with physiotherapy, medicines and activity modification –
especially if caught early. We initiate conservative management and follow your
recovery under the guidance of our spine specialist in Patna. The decision to go
for surgical intervention depends on a case-by-case basis.
Here's what generally moves a case
from conservative care to surgical evaluation:
●
Symptoms that continue to bother
you despite weeks of conservative management
●
Nerve compression leading to
weakness that fails to improve with rest and physiotherapy.
●
Numbness progressing or a leg that
feels weaker than it used to be
● Imaging findings which suggest your condition requires further urgent review.
Slip Disc Treatment in Patna involves firstly trying to take the pressure off the nerve without surgery – since most patients never require surgery.
Radiating pain that shoots down one leg however is typically a separate issue that deserves its own care instead of being bundled together with back pain. This is because the nerve involved is different and pain will usually follow a distinctive pattern. Sciatica Treatment in Patna explains the treatment options available and how we treat it step-by-step. We believe in treating patients without jumping to surgery first. In fact, most patients will improve before surgery is ever considered. This can be encouraging to know if you are scared of spine surgery.
That being said, if surgery is needed, it is
not chosen hastily or without trying conservative measures for an ample amount
of time. If you are interested in learning about the different surgical
procedures our spine surgeons perform and what you might expect from recovery,
read our spine surgery in Patna guide to learn about
each surgery and who it generally benefits.
Joint pain due to arthritis is one of the most common reasons people visit our orthopaedic department. Whether it is osteoarthritis due to degeneration over time or rheumatoid arthritis due to autoimmune reactions in your body, morning stiffness or pain in your joints is one of the first indications that you may face.
Treatment almost always begins conservatively with a combination of medicines, physiotherapy and lifestyle modifications to limit further stress being put on your joints. Injections can be used if indicated to help control your pain if oral medications fail to give you relief. Our primary goal with arthritis treatment in Patna starts with non-surgical methods and only further intensifies if need be (if your arthritis progresses).
Joint replacements are reserved for cases
where the arthritis has damaged your joints to the point where conservative
treatment can do little to help you.
From clicking knees and locked knees to simple ankle sprains and shoulder dislocations, sports injuries are some of the most common reasons people see the doctor - if you’re an athlete or very active. Treating your sports injury early can help you avoid chronic joint instability.
Arthroscopy is involved with the management of various joint problems which are inconclusive on imaging or need definitive visualization.
Common areas where arthroscopy is used include:
●
Repair of ACL and PCL tears of the
knee
●
Meniscal Tears which present with
knee locking or clicking
● Damage to the ligaments and tendons of the shoulder, including rotator cuff damage.
Sports injuries, from ankle sprains to shoulder dislocations, are common among athletes and active individuals, and early treatment often prevents long-term joint instability. For young patients recovering from ligament tears, our guide on ACL reconstruction surgery in Patna covers the procedure, recovery, and what patients have experienced.
While routine appointments are necessary for some conditions, fractures and trauma cases should be treated as soon as possible. Waiting to have these treated can impact the quality of healing of a broken bone or joint recovery.
Our trauma team coordinates with orthopaedic
doctors right when you walk in so you don’t have to wait any longer than
necessary to begin treatment. That’s important for obvious fractures just as
much as it is for a suspected ligament tear.
Rehabilitation starts as soon as you have left the operating theatre. All patients have individualised rehab programmes tailored specifically to their procedure(s). Early mobilisation is important where possible to avoid stiffness and to speed up recovery of function following surgery. Physiotherapy will also assist with regaining strength and flexibility, to help return your movement back to normal.
Pain relief will be managed throughout your recovery and exercise programme which will be advanced as you heal and become more active. You'll also be given advice regarding your home-care to prevent any complications once you return home. Follow ups with your surgeon will be scheduled to ensure your healing is progressing as it should and to deal with any problems sooner rather than later. Physiotherapy & rehabilitation services are available at Big Apollo Spectra to help you every step of the way until you are back to normal function.
You may have severe joint pain that does not go away, suffer an injury or have chronic back pain. Whatever the reason, make an appointment today. Don't let swelling, stiffness, loss of motion, or pain when walking continue any longer than they have to.
Bring any past X-rays, MRI's, or records of
any treatments you have received for your injury or condition. Also keep a note
of what medications you are currently taking so your doctor can have a clear
idea of your case from your first visit.
