Living with persistent joint, bone, or spine pain can make simple daily activities feel overwhelming. When conservative treatments such as medication and physiotherapy do not provide adequate relief, an orthopaedic surgeon may evaluate whether surgical treatment is appropriate based on the condition and its severity. At Sterling Hospitals, Ahmedabad, our team of orthopaedic surgeons specialises in advanced, comprehensive care, from complex joint replacements and sports injuries to spine care and fracture management. 

Below is a list of our orthopaedic surgeons to help patients find the right specialist based on their condition and treatment needs.

Who Is an Orthopaedic Surgeon?

An orthopaedic surgeon is a medical specialist who diagnoses and treats conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons and related structures. Depending on the condition, treatment may involve medication, physiotherapy, activity modification, injections or surgery.

Orthopaedic surgeons may specialise in areas such as joint replacement, sports medicine, arthroscopic surgery, spine surgery, paediatric orthopaedics and trauma care. They assess the nature and severity of a condition before recommending the most appropriate treatment approach.

Conditions Our Orthopaedic Surgeons Treat at Sterling Hospitals, Ahmedabad

When an orthopaedic condition causes significant damage or does not improve with non-surgical treatment, surgery may be considered. Some orthopaedic conditions may require surgical treatment depending on their severity, underlying cause and response to non-surgical treatment. These include:

  • Arthritis and Joint Disorders: Arthritis causes inflammation, pain or stiffness in one or more joints. Osteoarthritis, a common form of arthritis, develops when the cartilage that cushions the ends of bones gradually wears down. It can affect the knees, hips, hands and other joints, making movement uncomfortable.Treatment may include medication, physiotherapy, lifestyle modifications and other non-surgical approaches. When joint damage is advanced and symptoms continue to affect daily activities despite appropriate treatment, joint replacement surgery may be considered.

  • Fractures and Orthopaedic Trauma: Fractures are breaks in bones that can occur following road accidents, falls, sports injuries or other physical trauma. Some fractures can be treated with a cast, splint or other forms of immobilisation, while others require surgery to restore bone alignment and stability.Orthopaedic surgeons assess the location and type of fracture, the extent of displacement and any associated soft-tissue injuries before recommending treatment. Complex fractures may require procedures involving plates, screws, rods or other fixation devices.

Sports Injuries

Fractures are breaks in bones that can occur following road accidents, falls, sports injuries or other physical trauma. Some fractures can be treated with a cast, splint or other forms of immobilisation, while others require surgery to restore bone alignment and stability.

Fracture Fixation Surgery

Sports injuries can affect the ligaments, tendons, muscles, cartilage and joints. Common examples include anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, meniscus injuries, shoulder injuries and ligament sprains.Treatment depends on the affected structure and the severity of the injury. Many sports injuries can be managed with rest, rehabilitation and physiotherapy. However, significant ligament tears or injuries causing persistent joint instability may require arthroscopy or reconstructive surgery.

Knee and Hip Conditions

Knee and hip problems can develop due to arthritis, previous injuries, cartilage damage or other musculoskeletal conditions. Symptoms may include pain while walking, difficulty climbing stairs, stiffness and reduced joint movement.An orthopaedic surgeon may recommend medication, physiotherapy, activity modification or other treatments depending on the diagnosis. For patients with severe joint damage and persistent symptoms, partial or total joint replacement may be an option.

Spine Disorders

Spine-related conditions can cause back pain, neck pain, stiffness or discomfort that radiates into the arms or legs. Some conditions, such as a herniated disc or spinal canal narrowing, may also cause tingling, numbness or weakness.Treatment may involve medication, physiotherapy and other non-surgical approaches. Spine surgery may be considered when symptoms are severe, nerve compression requires intervention or conservative treatment has not provided adequate relief.

Ligament, Tendon and Cartilage Injuries

Ligaments connect bones and help stabilise joints, while tendons connect muscles to bones. Injuries to these structures can occur during sports, falls or sudden twisting movements. Cartilage damage may also affect joint movement and cause pain.Depending on the injury, treatment may include physiotherapy, activity modification, medication or surgery. Procedures such as ligament reconstruction, tendon repair and cartilage restoration may be considered in selected cases.

Osteoporosis and Bone Weakness

Osteoporosis is a condition that reduces bone strength and increases the risk of fractures. It may develop without noticeable symptoms until a fracture occurs, particularly in the wrist, hip or spine.Orthopaedic evaluation may be required when a patient experiences a fracture following a minor fall or has other signs of reduced bone strength. Treatment may include fracture management, bone-health assessment, medication and guidance on reducing the risk of future injuries.

Paediatric Orthopaedic Conditions

Children may require orthopaedic evaluation for congenital bone or joint abnormalities, developmental conditions, fractures or injuries affecting growing bones. Some conditions can be managed through observation, braces or other non-surgical treatments, while others may require surgery.The treatment approach depends on the child's age, stage of growth, diagnosis and the effect of the condition on movement and development.

Orthopaedic Surgical Procedures Pat Sterling Hospitals, Ahmedabad

Orthopaedic surgery may be recommended when non-surgical treatments are unsuitable or have not provided sufficient relief. The procedure depends on the affected bone, joint or soft tissue, the severity of the condition and the patient's overall health.

Joint Replacement Surgery

Joint replacement surgery involves replacing damaged joint surfaces with artificial components. It is commonly considered for advanced arthritis affecting the knee or hip when pain and reduced mobility continue to interfere with daily activities despite appropriate non-surgical treatment.The surgeon evaluates the extent of joint damage, symptoms, general health and functional needs before recommending partial or total joint replacement.

Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique in which a surgeon uses a small camera and specialised instruments to examine or treat problems inside a joint. It may be used for selected knee, shoulder and other joint conditions.Depending on the diagnosis, arthroscopic procedures may involve repairing damaged tissue, treating meniscus injuries or addressing certain ligament and cartilage problems.

ACL Reconstruction

The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) helps stabilise the knee. A significant ACL tear may cause the knee to feel unstable, particularly during activities involving sudden turns, stops or changes in direction.ACL reconstruction involves replacing the damaged ligament with a graft. It may be recommended for selected patients based on the severity of the injury, knee instability, activity requirements and response to rehabilitation.

Fracture Fixation Surgery

Some fractures require surgical stabilisation to restore bone alignment and support healing. Depending on the injury, the surgeon may use plates, screws, rods or other fixation devices.The procedure is selected according to the fracture pattern, bone involved, surrounding tissue damage and the patient's clinical condition. Rehabilitation may be required to help restore strength and movement after treatment.

Hip and Knee Replacement

Hip and knee replacement procedures are performed to treat severe joint damage, often caused by advanced osteoarthritis or certain other joint conditions.During surgery, damaged joint surfaces are replaced with artificial components. Recovery generally involves pain management, supervised movement and rehabilitation. The pace of recovery varies according to the patient's health, the procedure performed and adherence to the rehabilitation plan.

Spine Surgery

Spine surgery may be considered for selected conditions involving the vertebrae, intervertebral discs or nerves. Depending on the diagnosis, procedures may include decompression to relieve pressure on nerves, spinal fusion to stabilise a section of the spine or other surgical interventions.The surgeon considers symptoms, examination findings, imaging results and previous treatment before determining whether surgery is appropriate.

Rotator Cuff Repair

The rotator cuff is a group of tendons and muscles that help stabilise the shoulder and support arm movement. Tears can develop due to injury or gradual degeneration, causing pain, weakness and difficulty lifting the arm.Treatment depends on the size of the tear, symptoms, functional limitations and the patient's overall health. When surgery is indicated, the damaged tendon may be repaired using an appropriate surgical technique, followed by rehabilitation.

Minimally Invasive Orthopaedic Surgery

Certain orthopaedic procedures can be performed using minimally invasive techniques that involve smaller incisions than conventional open surgery. Arthroscopy and selected spine procedures are examples.The suitability of a minimally invasive approach depends on the condition, the procedure required and the patient's anatomy. The surgeon explains the available options, potential benefits, limitations and recovery expectations during the consultation.

When May a Patient Be Referred to an Orthopaedic Surgeon?

A patient may be referred to an orthopaedic surgeon when a bone, joint, muscle, ligament, tendon or spine condition requires specialist evaluation or may need surgical treatment. Referral may be recommended after an initial assessment by a general physician, emergency doctor, physiotherapist or another specialist.

An orthopaedic referral may be considered when a patient:

  • Has a fracture that may require surgical fixation or specialist management.:

  • Has persistent joint pain, stiffness or reduced movement despite non-surgical treatment.:

  • Has advanced arthritis that significantly affects mobility or everyday activities.:

  • Has a ligament, tendon or cartilage injury that may require surgical repair or reconstruction.:

  • Has a sports injury causing ongoing pain, instability or restricted movement despite rehabilitation.:

  • Has significant joint damage for which joint replacement may be considered.:

  • Has back or neck symptoms associated with suspected nerve compression or other structural problems of the spine.:

  • Has a musculoskeletal condition that requires further assessment based on clinical findings or imaging results.:

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between an orthopaedic surgeon and an orthopaedic doctor?

The terms are sometimes used interchangeably. An orthopaedic doctor diagnoses and treats conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, while an orthopaedic surgeon has training to perform surgical procedures for these conditions. Not every patient consulting an orthopaedic surgeon will require surgery.

Do I need a referral to consult an orthopaedic surgeon in Ahmedabad?

A referral may not always be necessary, depending on the hospital's appointment process and the patient's circumstances. Patients can contact Sterling Hospitals directly to enquire about booking an orthopaedic consultation.

What happens during the first consultation with an orthopaedic surgeon?

The surgeon generally reviews the patient's symptoms, medical history, previous injuries and treatment records. A physical examination may be performed, and imaging or other investigations may be recommended if required. Based on the findings, the surgeon discusses the diagnosis and suitable treatment options.

Should I bring previous medical reports to my orthopaedic appointment?

Yes. Previous X-rays, MRI or CT reports, prescriptions, investigation results and details of earlier treatments can help the surgeon understand the patient's condition. Bringing these records may also help avoid unnecessary repetition of investigations.

Does every orthopaedic condition require surgery?

No. Many orthopaedic conditions can be managed with medication, physiotherapy, rehabilitation, activity modification or other non-surgical treatments. Surgery is considered when the diagnosis, severity of the condition and response to other treatments indicate that an operation may be appropriate.

When should I see an orthopaedic surgeon for knee pain?

An orthopaedic consultation may be appropriate when knee pain persists, recurs frequently, causes swelling or stiffness, limits walking or interferes with daily activities. Sudden severe pain, significant swelling, deformity or an inability to bear weight following an injury requires prompt assessment.

Which orthopaedic surgeon should I consult for a sports injury?

The appropriate specialist depends on the type of injury. Patients with ligament tears, meniscus injuries or certain shoulder injuries may benefit from an orthopaedic surgeon specialising in arthroscopy and sports medicine. The doctor can assess the injury and determine whether rehabilitation, other non-surgical treatment or surgery is required.

How can I find an orthopaedic surgeon near me in Ahmedabad?

Patients can explore orthopaedic doctor listings for Ahmedabad, review each specialist's area of expertise and check the hospital location and appointment availability. Choosing a specialist whose experience matches the condition can help ensure an appropriate evaluation and treatment plan.

Can I get a second opinion before orthopaedic surgery?

Yes. A second opinion can help patients understand the diagnosis, review the recommended procedure and discuss alternative treatment options. Previous medical records and investigation reports can help the orthopaedic surgeon provide a more informed assessment.
