Joint Preserving Surgeries
Best Joint Preserving Surgeon - Dr. Shiva Reddy
For patients experiencing joint pain and dysfunction but seeking to delay or avoid joint replacement surgery, joint preserving surgeries provide an excellent alternative. These procedures focus on maintaining and repairing the natural joint rather than replacing it, helping patients regain mobility and reduce pain. Dr. Shiva Reddy, a highly experienced orthopedic surgeon, specializes in joint preserving surgeries that offer long-term relief and restore function in the affected joints.
In this comprehensive guide, we’ll explore the specialized joint preserving surgeries provided by Dr. Shiva Reddy, including Cartilage Procedures, High Tibial Osteotomy, and Femoral Osteotomy. Each of these treatments addresses specific joint issues while preserving as much of the natural joint as possible.
What Are Joint Preserving Surgeries?
Joint preserving surgeries are minimally invasive procedures designed to delay or eliminate the need for joint replacement. These surgeries aim to repair or realign the bones and soft tissues surrounding the joint, thereby relieving pain, restoring function, and preventing further deterioration.
Joint preserving surgeries are commonly recommended for patients suffering from early to mid-stage osteoarthritis, cartilage damage, or joint deformities. By maintaining the natural structure of the joint, these procedures offer the advantage of faster recovery and longer-lasting results.
Dr. Shiva Reddy is known for his expertise in joint preservation techniques, combining advanced surgical methods with personalized patient care to achieve the best outcomes.
Specialized Joint Preserving Surgeries by Dr. Shiva Reddy
Dr. Shiva Reddy offers several cutting-edge joint preserving surgeries to help patients maintain their natural joints while reducing pain and improving mobility. Let’s dive deeper into the specialized treatments provided by Dr. Reddy.
1. Cartilage Procedures
Cartilage damage is a common cause of joint pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility. Cartilage procedures are designed to repair or regenerate damaged cartilage in the knee, hip, or other joints, thus preserving the natural joint structure.
Types of Cartilage Procedures:
- Microfracture: This minimally invasive procedure stimulates the formation of new cartilage by creating small holes in the bone beneath the damaged cartilage.
- Osteochondral Autograft Transfer (OATS): In this procedure, healthy cartilage is taken from a non-weight-bearing area of the joint and transplanted to the damaged area.
- Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation (ACI): This technique involves harvesting cartilage cells from the patient, growing them in a lab, and then implanting them into the damaged area to regenerate new cartilage.
Who Needs Cartilage Procedures? Cartilage procedures are ideal for patients with localized cartilage damage due to injury or early osteoarthritis. The goal is to restore joint function and prevent further deterioration.
Benefits of Cartilage Procedures:
- Preserve the natural joint structure
- Reduce pain and improve mobility
- Delay or eliminate the need for joint replacement surgery
- Enhance long-term joint health
Dr. Shiva Reddy is highly skilled in performing advanced cartilage procedures using the latest technologies to ensure optimal recovery and outcomes for his patients.
2. High Tibial Osteotomy
High Tibial Osteotomy (HTO) is a surgical procedure commonly performed on patients with early-stage osteoarthritis of the knee. It involves cutting and reshaping the tibia (shinbone) to realign the knee joint and reduce pressure on the damaged cartilage. By shifting the weight away from the arthritic part of the knee, HTO helps preserve the joint and delay the need for a total knee replacement.
Who Needs High Tibial Osteotomy? This procedure is typically recommended for younger or more active patients with knee arthritis who still have healthy cartilage in one part of the knee. HTO is also a good option for patients with bow-legged or knock-kneed deformities, which can exacerbate arthritis pain.
Benefits of High Tibial Osteotomy:
- Realigns the knee joint to reduce stress on damaged cartilage
- Preserves the natural joint and delays the need for knee replacement
- Improves mobility and function in the affected knee
- Helps patients maintain an active lifestyle
Dr. Shiva Reddy’s expertise in High Tibial Osteotomy ensures that patients receive the most effective treatment with minimal recovery time. His minimally invasive techniques result in smaller incisions, reduced pain, and quicker rehabilitation.
3. Femoral Osteotomy
Femoral Osteotomy is a procedure used to correct deformities in the femur (thighbone) that can cause misalignment of the hip or knee joint. By cutting and reshaping the femur, Dr. Reddy is able to restore proper alignment, reduce joint pain, and improve function. This surgery is particularly beneficial for patients with conditions such as hip dysplasia or severe knee arthritis.
Who Needs Femoral Osteotomy? Patients with hip or knee pain caused by abnormal bone alignment, congenital conditions, or trauma are often candidates for femoral osteotomy. This surgery is commonly used to prevent or delay the progression of arthritis and other joint diseases.
Benefits of Femoral Osteotomy:
- Corrects bone deformities and restores proper alignment
- Reduces pain and improves joint function
- Helps prevent the progression of arthritis
- Delays or eliminates the need for joint replacement surgery
Dr. Shiva Reddy’s precise surgical techniques in performing Femoral Osteotomy ensure that patients experience optimal results with a shorter recovery time.
