Joint Replacement & Arthroscopy
Joint Replacement & Arthroscopy
Joint Replacement and Arthroscopy are two of the most advanced and effective orthopedic procedures used to treat chronic joint pain, degeneration, and injury. These procedures aim to restore joint function, reduce pain, and improve the quality of life for patients suffering from arthritis, sports injuries, or trauma-related joint damage.
Joint Replacement Surgery is most commonly performed for the knee, hip, and shoulder joints. It involves replacing the damaged or worn-out joint surfaces with artificial implants designed to mimic natural movement. At Thrikakara Municipal Cooperative Hospital, Dr. Suhanesh Haridas brings over 25 years of experience in performing total and partial joint replacements using state-of-the-art techniques and high-quality prostheses. With a focus on precision, alignment, and patient safety, joint replacement surgeries are planned meticulously for excellent long-term outcomes and faster rehabilitation.
These procedures are especially beneficial for patients with osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis, or severe joint deformities. Minimally invasive surgical approaches, when suitable, allow for smaller incisions, reduced blood loss, less postoperative pain, and quicker recovery times.
Arthroscopy, on the other hand, is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat joint problems using a small camera (arthroscope) inserted through tiny incisions. Commonly used for the knee, shoulder, elbow, and ankle, arthroscopy is ideal for treating ligament tears (like ACL), meniscus injuries, rotator cuff problems, and cartilage damage.
Dr. Haridas specializes in advanced arthroscopic techniques that help preserve the joint structure while addressing the root cause of pain or instability. The procedure is often performed as a day-care surgery, and patients can return to normal activities within a few days with guided physiotherapy.
A key aspect of both joint replacement and arthroscopy is personalized care—from preoperative counseling and imaging to surgical planning and post-operative rehabilitation. Comprehensive support is provided at every stage to ensure optimal outcomes, prevent complications, and restore mobility as quickly as possible.
With a commitment to surgical excellence and patient-focused care, Dr. Suhanesh Haridas and his team at Thrikakara Municipal Cooperative Hospital offer cutting-edge solutions for joint disorders—helping patients reclaim an active, pain-free life with confidence and comfort.
