Global Hospitals Orthopedic Institute brings together a team of highly qualified orthopedic surgeons to

orthopedic problems and conditions. Some of the common orthopedic issues treated here are:
Treatments & Procedures
A unique hip and pelvis service forms an integral part of the institute of orthopedics and joint
replacement.
The hip is the largest joint in the body and the pelvis is the junction between the spine and the hip joints
on either side. The problems of hip & pelvis that are treated by the institute are:
Development Dysplasia / Congenital Dislocation Hip joint slips out of its normal position in a
newborn. Diagnosed early, it can be cured completely with or without surgery.
Septic Arthritis of Infancy Growing children may develop infection in the hip joint.
Hip Fractures In case of hip fractures, the treatment is based on the impacted bone:
Proximal Femur This usually requires surgery
Head of femur - A critical fracture to be treated appropriately by a specialist.
Acetabulum - The socket of the hip joint when fractured can lead to a bad arthritis of hip, if not
addressed properly. Surgery on such fractures requires special training, skill, and experience.
Pelvis Fractures -These can be a result of high velocity accidents and such injuries can lead to
mortality unless treatment is given appropriately within a short time. Only a specially trained team
can do subsequent reconstruction of the pelvis.
Global Hospitals Hip & Pelvis service has the resources to undertake these complex problems
successfully, a feat not achieved by many premier orthopedic centers in India.
