Anterior Total hip replacement - A hip replacement surgery with Zero precautions. A hip replacement which can get you back to a completely pain-free life with normal walking. The biggest problem with old techniques of hip replacement are 1. 4 percent patients have high chances of hip dislocation (hip ball coming out & where resurgery is needed to fix). In order to prevent it, patients are adviced multiple precautions & restrictions sometimes for lifetime. 2. The other major problem is unequal length of legs after hip replacement. Leading to permanent abnormal walking & limp. With Anterior total hip replacement both the above issues can be easily managed. With Direct Anterior(surgery from front) Total Hip replacement, patients have the following advantages- 1. Both legs will be completely equal in length- since pt is positioned straight on table & comparison with computerized arm while operating making comparison to the opposite leg easier helping in getting completely equal legs. In other technique like posterior or anterolateral since patient is placed on side, legs end up being unequal since comparison is not possible with opposite leg at all. Even imaging is not possible. 2. Minimal muscle pain due to minimally invasive -mis technique. The entire surgery is performed with an incision of around 10 cms & zero muscle damage. 3. Zero precautions after surgery leading to stress free life. . Patients can sit on floor/use Indian Toilets without worrying about chances of hip dislocation. In older techniques patients are told to follow precautions for atleast 3 months & sometimes even lifetime. 4. No restriction in Sexual activities. 5. Patients have quick recovery due to less pain & can even walk without walker with full weight bearing within 1-2 days. With older techniques, patients still have to use walker or wait upto 1.5 months to put weight & walk. 6. A small 10 cm line incision which gets hidden in groin crease & becomes just like a thin pencil mark in 2-3 months. With Direct Anterior Total Hip replacement, pts can even get Both total hip replacements performed in a single sitting. Even the choice of implants cemented or uncemented & can be dual mobility, ceramic on ceramic , ceramic on poly or metal on poly as per patients preference. Anterolateral & Posterior hip replacement - Both are older techniques of total hip replacements where patients are adviced multiple precautions after surgery. Older techniques posterior/anterolateral (incision of surgery from back- posterior & surgery from side - anterolateral) total hip replacements have limitations such as patients are adviced not to sit on floor or do any activity on ground because of risk of hip ball dislocation & even where patients end up having unequal leg lengths after surgery. Multiple research papers have proven Direct Anterior Hip replacement has significant advantages. In The US, Hip replacement by Direct Anterior technique is preferred by most of the patients due to its significant advantages. Though Direct Anterior Hip replacement technique has excellent advantages, it can be performed in obese patients with weight more than 130 kgs only after proper assessment.

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.
