Onus Robotic Hospitals: Your Center of Excellence for Peri-prosthetic Fracture Treatment in Hyderabad

Experienced a fracture around your replaced hip or knee? Onus Robotic Hospitals, a leading orthopedic care provider in Hyderabad, India, offers advanced surgical solutions and comprehensive recovery programs to help you achieve the best possible outcome following a peri-prosthetic fracture.

Understanding Peri-prosthetic Fractures:

Peri-prosthetic fractures occur around an artificial joint (prosthesis) implanted during total hip or knee arthroplasty. These fractures are becoming increasingly common due to various factors, including:

  • Increased Number of Joint Replacements: With rising life expectancy and active lifestyles, more people are undergoing joint replacement surgeries.
  • Osteoporosis: Weakened bones due to osteoporosis can make them more susceptible to fractures around the prosthesis.
  • Trauma: A fall or other injury can cause a peri-prosthetic fracture even in patients with healthy bones.

Importance of Precise Treatment:

Peri-prosthetic fractures require specialized care to ensure proper healing and prevent further complications. Onus Robotic Hospitals provides a comprehensive approach that includes:

  • Detailed Diagnosis: Our team utilizes advanced imaging techniques like X-rays, CT scans, and potentially MRI scans to precisely assess the fracture location, type, and any underlying bone or implant issues.
  • Personalized Treatment Plan: Based on the diagnosis, your age, activity level, and overall health, our experienced orthopedic surgeons will recommend the most suitable surgical technique. This may involve:
    • Internal Fixation: Utilizing plates, screws, or specialized implants to stabilize the fracture fragments and restore joint alignment.
    • External Fixation: In some cases, an external fixation device with pins and rods might be used, particularly for complex fractures or those affecting bone quality.
    • Bone Grafting: If bone loss is present, bone grafting procedures may be necessary to promote healing and provide a strong foundation for implant fixation.
  • Post-surgical Rehabilitation: Our dedicated rehabilitation team works closely with you to regain strength, mobility, and pain-free movement through a personalized therapy program.
