OVERVIEW Fractures (Broken Bones) of the Shoulder, Elbow and Wrist are common from both minor and major accidents. These are incapacitating in the short term as they commonly require the use of a cast or brace and restrict the use of the affected limb. DESCRIPTION Upper limb fractures occur from either direct trauma or indirectly from forces applied to the limb (eg twisting injuries). The type of fracture depends on the size and direction of the injury to the limb. Low energy injuries (such as falls from a standing height), usually result in less complex fracture patterns and less soft tissue injury. Typical symptoms of a fracture include: • Pain • Swelling • Deformity • Difficulty lifting things Lower energy injuries can be missed and may be passed off as ‘sprains’ or ‘strains’. If you have had an injury that is not responding to treatment, it is advisable to see your doctor and obtain X-Rays to rule out a fracture. Higher energy injuries (such as motorcycle and car crashes) typically fracture bones in multiple places, into smaller pieces, and commonly disrupt the soft tissues resulting in large amounts of bruising and swelling. These can be challenging to treat and frequently require surgery to restore the bones to their anatomical position to make healing quicker and your function better in the long term. TREATMENT The treatment of lower limb fractures requires careful tailoring to the individual patients demands and the type of fracture sustained. Non-operative treatment of upper limb fractures may involve: • Braces or Slings • Plaster Casts • Activity Restriction • Physiotherapy Dr. Jain always encourages non-operative treatment whenever possible, however, many fractures do much better with surgical intervention as surgery can speed up recovery and improve the short and long term outcome. As there many different types of upper limb fractures, there are a large range of surgical options that can be used, these can include: • Plates + screws • Wires • Rods/Nails • External Fixators Sometimes a combination of these is used, and Dr. Jain will discuss the surgical plan with you pre-operatively. He uses the latest technology in orthopedic trauma implants to give you the best outcome possible. After surgery, Dr. Jain will discuss your operation as well as plan your rehab in line with your goals and expectations. He uses a highly qualified team of physiotherapists and rehabilitation specialists to get you back to your activities as quickly as possible. Dr. Jain has extensive experience treating fractures, he has completed Training at Cascais Hospital in Lisbon (Portugal, Europe) with world recognized leaders in Orthopedic Trauma Surgery, and has worked as an Orthopedic Joint Replacement & Trauma Consultant at Tata Hospitals. He routinely attends conferences and visits trauma centers worldwide to refine his skills and stay on top of the most recent advances in trauma surgery.

An ALL INSIDE ARTHROSCOPIC ACL RECONSTRUCTION is the latest innovation in the field of ACL reconstruction with excellent patient results and long term surgical outcome. The Joint Surgeon centre is the FIRST Centre in Indore as well MP performing an ALL INSIDE ARTHROSCOPIC ACL RECONSTRUCTION & INTERNAL BRACE helping our patients with quicker and better recovery. In early ACL reconstruction techniques, large incisions were required to repair tears. Later, the procedure improved by using smaller incisions and inserting a camera into the patient’s knee to project the surgery onto a monitor. Now, the All-inside ACL reconstruction procedure is less invasive and more efficient than previous techniques by using small 0.5 cm incisions inside the knee rather than large incisions. Additionally, the procedure uses graft harvested from either the patient or a donor. This graft is assembled for implantation by double-fixing it at each end with a titanium washer and sutures, then threaded through the tunnels inside the knee under camera visualization and pulled tight. The tunnel pathways are placed to mimic the native ACL’s attachments, which makes the placement of the graft more accurate. In case of athletes or high demand individuals, an additional Internal brace can be added to provide further strength to the ligament. With this technique, patient can walk with full weight just within 24-48 hours without the need of walker or brace. As compared to traditional acl reconstruction technique where patients are allowed only toe touch weight bearing & have to use walker for atleast 1-1.5 months, unnecessarily delaying recovery. This minimally invasive technique helps patients recover more quickly. There is less pain, smaller incisions and shorter rehabilitation periods. After a course of rehabilitation, most patients regain normal range of motion and control. Stability of the knee is regained with the new ACL graft, and healing and incorporation of the graft is achieved fully in weeks rather than months. The benefits of All-inside ACL reconstruction are especially valuable for athletes or patients with an active lifestyle. Previously, an ACL tear or break could ruin an athlete’s career. However, thanks to the improvements provided from this procedure, physically active patients can return to their lifestyle with minimal recovery time and less pain. Our results are much better than other renowned centres in Indore as well as India. Feel free to read our honest reviews by patients on Google as well as The Joint Surgeon page on youtube.
