Current Position-Work I do
Now working as Consultant Trauma, Computer navigated Joint replacement & Pelviacetabular trauma surgeon at Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences, Secunderabad since October 2008. I am specialized in dealing with
Complex trauma, which include
- Extremity trauma Upper & Lower limb injuries
- Per articular trauma at Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist, Hip, Knee and ankle joints
- Polytrauma - Road traffic and High-energy accidents which results in Multiple fractures, Associated Chest, Head, abdominal, & Vascular injuries
- Open fractures which range from fractures with cuts to near total loss of limbs
- Limb salvage - Saving the limbs with the co-ordination from other specialties like Plastic && vascular surgeons. Crush injuries, Machine injuries and accidents which might have a scope of survival in spite of significant trauma
Computer navigated Knee replacement
Aims of any Knee replacement surgery are to get the Hip, Knee & Ankle into an acceptable alignement, and to achieve a healthy soft tissue tension around the reconstructed knee. It is these factors which actually improve the longevity of the prosthesis. Navigation assesses the alignment and quantifies it. It gets Quantitative assessment of Soft tissue tension and Helps the surgeon in Planning the bone cuts. All in all it improves the precision of Whole procedure.
Total Hip Replacement
Hip joint arthritis is an end stage joint destruction which happens because of various disease in the joint or bone. The causes include Rheumatoid arthritis, Ostearthritis, Avascular necrosis, Failed hip surgeries, and fracture neck of femur. Total hip replacement is a pain relieving operation by which patient has a potential to get back to his normal activities.
Pelvic acetabular trauma
High speed vehicles and bad road practices have increased the incidence of High energy accidents which often results in Pelvi acetabular fractures. It needs almost 10 times the force which causes a leg fracture. So most of theses injuries are associated with other bone fractures, head, chest, and abdomen or perinial injuries. These are life-threatening injuries as they cause severe internal hemorrhage.
Management of these injuries needs special training and experience. I have done significant number of these fractures. I travel and get involved in teaching programs and conferences to increase the awareness of these complex fractures and teach the treatment principles to young and practicing orthopaedic surgeons.
I run out-patient clinics on Tuesdays and Fridays and deal with emergencies everyday(24/7).I teach Orthopedic residents who are appearing for D.N.B course in Orthopaedics and Physiotherapy students. I have Joint replacement fellowship programs under me.
Computer assisted Deformity Corrections
Bone deformities are not only are unsightly but also affect the Joint dynamics and caouse early arthritis and pain. Congenital, Posttraumatic deformities might need different approaches. Taylors spatial frame is worlds advanced external fixator. It can correct multidirectional deformities in a single stage and also gain the length in short limbs.
