Hip Preservation: It is a type of surgical intervention that delays or prevents the onset of arthritis and, later, the need for a hip replacement.

Dr Prasad Gourineni has decades of practical experience and unmatched clinical outcomes in the field of Hip Preservation.

Amara Hospital is one of the very few centres in India to offer Hip-Preserving surgeries like: Ÿ

Ÿ

Complex Pelvi-Acetabular and Femoral Reorientation Osteotomies

Safe Surgical Dislocation of Hip

ARTHROSCOPY It is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat a variety of injuries in the young age group and in athletes. Arthroscopy allows a surgeon to access the joint via several small incisions rather than a large incision during open surgery, and allows for faster recovery times for patients. Our aim is to return them to their pre-injury functional levels as early as possible, and have hence integrated early and aggressive rehabilitation protocols for these complicated injuries.

Femuro- Acetabular Impingement

Cruciate Ligament Injuries in Knee Joint

Pediatric Orthopaedics: Numerous disorders of the musculoskeletal system, if not detected early, often cause permanent disability in the affected children and could even prove fatal. Since the results are best when caretakers are involved in the treatment process, we educate them regarding optimal care.

Commonly treated conditions include: Ÿ

Deformities of limbs

Ÿ

Difficulty in walking

Ÿ

Neurological problems like Cerebral Palsy

Ÿ

Spinal curvature problems like Scoliosis and Kyphosis

Ÿ

Infections of bone and joints

Pediatric fractures and dislocations

Spine Surgery: Our specialists are trained in complex spine procedures, including surgery for scoliosis and cervical spine problems.
