Regaining Bone Health and Function: Necrosis and Nonunion Correction at Ishaan Ortho & Spine, Bangalore

Ishaan Ortho & Spine in Bangalore is a leading provider of advanced orthopedic care, specializing in treating bone necrosis and nonunion fractures. We offer comprehensive treatment plans to help you regain bone health, improve functionality, and alleviate pain.

Understanding Bone Necrosis and Nonunion:

Bone necrosis: This condition occurs when bone tissue dies due to a lack of blood supply. It can affect any bone in the body, but commonly affects the hip, knee, shoulder, and ankle.
Nonunion fracture: A fracture that fails to heal within the expected timeframe, typically after six to eight weeks. This can occur due to various factors, including inadequate blood supply, instability at the fracture site, or certain medical conditions.

Symptoms of Bone Necrosis and Nonunion:

Pain: Aching pain in the affected joint, often worsening with activity and weight-bearing.
Stiffness: Reduced range of motion in the affected joint.
Swelling: Inflammation and swelling around the affected joint.
Deformity: In some cases, the affected bone may collapse, leading to joint deformity.

Causes of Bone Necrosis and Nonunion:

Bone necrosis:
- Trauma (fractures or dislocations)
- Steroid use
- Certain medical conditions like sickle cell disease or systemic lupus erythematosus
- Alcohol abuse
Nonunion fracture:
- Inadequate blood supply to the fracture site
- Instability at the fracture site due to improper immobilization or repetitive stress
- Smoking
- Certain medical conditions like diabetes or osteoporosis

Treatment for Bone Necrosis and Nonunion:

At Ishaan Ortho & Spine, we understand the limitations bone necrosis and nonunion can impose on your daily life. We offer a personalized treatment approach based on the severity and location of the condition, and may include:

Non-surgical management: This may involve:
- Immobilization: Using casts, braces, or splints to stabilize the affected bone and promote healing.
- Pain management medication: Medications to manage pain and inflammation.
- Physical therapy: Exercises to improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion in the affected joint.
- Lifestyle modifications: Weight loss for overweight or obese individuals, smoking cessation, and limited alcohol consumption.
Surgical intervention: In cases where conservative measures fail to provide adequate relief or the condition is severe, surgery may be recommended. Different surgical options are available, including:
- Bone grafting: Replacing dead bone tissue with healthy bone from another part of the body.
- Core decompression: Creating channels in the affected bone to improve blood flow and promote healing.
- Joint replacement: In advanced cases, replacing the damaged joint with an artificial implant.

Benefits of Treatment:

Reduced pain and inflammation
Improved bone healing and function
Enhanced mobility and ability to perform daily activities
Prevention of further complications like joint deformity or arthritis

Hospitalization Care at Ishaan Ortho & Spine:

Whether you undergo non-surgical management or surgery, our team prioritizes your comfort and well-being throughout your journey:

Pre-operative assessment (if surgery is required): We conduct a comprehensive evaluation, including physical examinations, imaging tests (X-rays, MRI), and a discussion about your symptoms and medical history, to diagnose the condition and determine the most appropriate treatment approach.
Surgical procedure (if necessary): Our experienced orthopedic surgeons use advanced techniques to perform the surgery, minimizing tissue damage and promoting faster recovery. The procedure is typically performed under general or regional anesthesia, depending on the complexity of the case.
Post-operative care (if necessary): Our team closely monitors your progress and provides pain management medication to ensure your comfort. You may wear a cast, brace, or splint for a period of time to protect the healing bone.
Rehabilitation: Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in recovery, regardless of the treatment option. Our therapists will guide you through targeted exercises to regain strength, flexibility, and full range of motion in the affected joint.
Discharge planning: We work with you to develop a personalized recovery plan to continue your management at home. This plan may include pain management strategies, specific exercises to continue, and instructions on gradually returning to daily activities.

Dr. Subodh  Shetty recommended a surgical procedure that involved:

He took the time to  explain every aspect , from the  intricacies of the  procedure to the healing process, considering my age .

  Words can hardly convey the incredible transformation that has occurred in our lives, all thanks to the extraordinary Dr. Subodh M. Shetty. He is more than just a doctor; he is our savior, and his impact on our family is immeasurable.

My father's struggle with ankylosing spondylitis was nothing short of a nightmare. The mere act of bending was accompanied by a horrifying symphony of joint movement, a sound that served as a constant reminder of the pain he endured every day. His condition left him unable to enjoy the simplest of pleasures, and it weighed heavily on all of us.

When we first met Dr. Shetty, my father's situation was further complicated by a dangerously low hemoglobin level. Many doctors might have hesitated, but not Dr. Shetty. He calibrates his approach with a precision that can only be described as miraculous. His unwavering confidence in the face of adversity gave us the strength to proceed with the surgery, despite the odds.

During the surgery, Dr. Shetty's skill and expertise shone brightly. He guided my father through the intricate procedure with a steady hand, leaving us with no doubt that we had made the right choice. But Dr. Shetty's care did not stop at the operating room; he provided us with a professional physiotherapist who played a crucial role in managing my father's pain and facilitating his recovery.

What truly sets Dr. Shetty apart is his unwavering dedication. He was with us every step of the way, from the initial consultation to my father's complete recovery. His presence was a source of comfort and reassurance, a guiding light in our darkest hours.

Our journey with Dr. Shetty began with a simple Google search, "Best Orthopedic Doctor Near Me," and little did we know that this search would change the course of our lives. Dr. Subodh M. Shetty is not just a doctor; he is a miracle worker, a compassionate healer, and a guiding force that has brought light and hope back into our family.

To Dr. Shetty, you are not only a gifted surgeon but a true guardian angel. Your skill, dedication, and unwavering support have given my father a new lease on life, and for that, we are forever grateful. You have touched our hearts in ways words can't capture, and we consider ourselves blessed to have found you.
