Joint Preservation Surgery
Joint Preservation Surgery: A Modern Approach to Pain-Free Movement
Preserving your joint health is the key to maintaining your mobility, freedom, and quality of life. At Medcare Hospitals, Dr. Sudarshan Bhandary, an expert in Orthopaedic and arthroscopic surgery, offers joint preservation services designed to prevent the need for full joint replacement. Through cutting-edge techniques, including minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures, we aim to delay, and in some cases, avoid the need for more invasive treatments.
Why Choose Joint Preservation?
Joint preservation surgery is a revolutionary approach that allows patients to maintain their natural joint structure while preventing further damage. Often performed for conditions such as arthritis, cartilage wear, sports injuries, and ligament damage, joint preservation techniques help to retain your joint’s function and alleviate pain without resorting to joint replacement.
Unlike traditional surgeries, which focus on replacing the damaged joint, joint preservation focuses on preserving and enhancing the existing joint’s health. This proactive approach allows you to:
- Maintain your natural joint mechanics
- Avoid or delay the need for total joint replacement
- Experience faster recovery with minimal scarring
- Return to your regular activities sooner
Conditions Treated with Joint Preservation Surgery
Dr. Bhandary specializes in the treatment of a wide range of conditions through joint preservation techniques, including:
- Osteoarthritis: Early to moderate stages, where joint function can still be preserved
- Chondral Defects: Cartilage damage that doesn’t yet require joint replacement
- Sports Injuries: Repairing ligament damage (ACL, PCL) and meniscal tears
- Patellar Instability: Addressing knee instability and preventing further deterioration
- Ligament Injuries: Repairing or reconstructing damaged ligaments without compromising the joint
