Equipped with modern technology, experienced orthopaedic surgeons, and specialised rehabilitation support, we provide complete treatment for knee, hip, spine, trauma, sports injuries, arthritis, and paediatric orthopaedic conditions.
Our focus is on early mobility, minimal pain, safe recovery, and long-term joint function—making us one of the most trusted centres for orthopaedic care in the region.
We routinely perform:
Computer-assisted joint replacement
Arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery
Spine surgery
Trauma and fracture reconstruction
Shoulder, elbow, hand & wrist surgeries
Foot & ankle surgery
Total knee and hip replacement
Articular surface replacement
Our digital orthopaedic operating suite allows precise implant planning and execution, ensuring safety, accuracy, and optimal surgical outcomes.
Conditions and Treatments Offered
1. Disc Replacement Surgery
Persistent lower back pain lasting more than six months and not responding to medicines or physiotherapy may require disc replacement surgery.
In this procedure, the painful, damaged disc is replaced with an artificial implant to restore mobility and reduce pain.
Who may NOT be suitable for disc replacement?
Osteoporosis
Spinal tumours
Pregnancy
Vertebral fractures
Previous spine surgery
Severe spinal deformity
Obesity
Spinal infections
Advanced arthritis
Benefits of Disc Replacement
Improved mobility
Significant pain relief
Faster return to routine life
Maintains natural spine motion
At Sarkar Hospital, patients undergo detailed evaluation to confirm whether disc replacement or another procedure is most suitable for them.
2. Total Knee Replacement (TKR)
If arthritis or injury severely damages the knee joint, causing pain even while resting, a total knee replacement may be recommended.
TKR is a safe and highly successful procedure that:
Relieves chronic pain
Corrects deformity
Restores mobility
Improves daily functioning
Steps involved in Knee Replacement
Bone preparation
Positioning of metal implants
Resurfacing of patella (kneecap)
Inserting a medical-grade spacer for smooth movement
Before surgery, our orthopaedic team conducts:
Medical history review
X-rays, MRI
Blood tests
Physical examination
Post-surgery, strict physiotherapy and surgeon guidance ensure long-term success.
3. Joint Replacement Surgery
Sarkar Hospital provides joint replacement for:
Knee
Hip
Shoulder
Elbow
Wrist
Ankle
Joint replacement becomes necessary when non-surgical measures—medications, physiotherapy, lifestyle changes—fail to relieve pain caused by:
Arthritis
Injuries
Cartilage wear
Joint degeneration
During the procedure
The damaged bone and cartilage are removed and replaced with a prosthesis made of metal, ceramic, or medical-grade plastic. The artificial joint mimics natural joint motion and increases quality of life.
Recovery
Post-operative exercises and guided physiotherapy are essential for complete recovery and mobility restoration.
4. Hip Replacement Surgery
Hip replacement helps relieve pain caused by arthritis, fractures, or other hip-joint disorders. During surgery, the damaged femoral head is replaced with a prosthetic ball that fits into an artificial socket fixed to the pelvis.
Benefits
Reduced pain
Improved mobility
Ease in day-to-day activities
Increased joint function
When medications and lifestyle changes fail, hip replacement becomes the most effective solution.
5. Arthritis Care
Arthritis involves inflammation of one or more joints and typically leads to:
Pain
Redness
Stiffness
Swelling
Restricted movement
Common causes include:
Autoimmune diseases
Joint wear and tear
Infection
Injury
Treatment includes:
Anti-inflammatory medications
Physiotherapy
Joint injections
Lifestyle changes
Surgical intervention in advanced cases
At Sarkar Hospital, we offer personalised arthritis management plans tailored to every patient’s condition.
6. Osteoporosis Management
Osteoporosis weakens bones and increases the risk of fractures—particularly in the hip, wrist, and spine.
Symptoms may include:
Back pain
Height loss
Stooped posture
Frequent fractures
Causes include ageing, hormonal changes, nutritional deficiency, smoking, thyroid disorders, and genetics.
Treatment options include:
Calcium & Vitamin D supplementation
Weight-bearing exercises
Bone-strengthening medications
Hormonal therapy for selected cases
Early diagnosis improves long-term bone health.
7. Spondylitis (Ankylosing Spondylitis & Degenerative Types)
Spondylitis is inflammation of the vertebral joints, which may gradually stiffen the spine.
Types include:
Cervical Spondylitis
Lumbar Spondylitis
Ankylosing Spondylitis
Treatment includes:
Physiotherapy and posture training
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs)
Corticosteroid injections
TNF inhibitors in selected cases
Early management prevents progressive stiffness and deformity.
8. Spinal Fractures & Paralysis
Spinal fractures may result from falls, accidents, sports injuries, or severe trauma. They can cause:
Severe back or neck pain
Numbness
Weakness
Muscle spasms
Paralysis
Bladder/bowel dysfunction
Diagnosis involves:
X-ray
CT scan
MRI
Treatment options
Bracing
Pain management
Minimally invasive stabilisation
Complex spine surgery
Prompt treatment is essential to prevent long-term disability.
