Hand replantation has a good success rate. While the replanted part may not fully recover to its original function, achieving 70% of the original function is often considered an excellent outcome.
Skilled and trained brachial plexus surgeons can facilitate the recovery from paralysis and help patients regain an active life through timely evaluation and intervention. Our surgeons employ a multidisciplinary approach, which combines surgery, electrical stimulation, and physiotherapy to effectively address brachial plexus injuries.
The signs and symptoms of brachial plexus injury include sensations like electric shocks or burning shooting down the arm, numbness and weakness in the arm, difficulty using specific hand, arm, or shoulder muscles, total loss of movement and feeling in the arm, as well as severe pain.
At Apollo, our surgeons specialise in limb lengthening procedures, including the Ilizarov technique. This clinically-proven method uses an Ilizarov apparatus to lengthen or straighten bones and soft tissues in the arms or legs, preserving limbs that might otherwise require amputation. By leveraging the body's natural bone growth process, this approach effectively corrects deformities and increases bone length.
Doctors recommend limb-lengthening surgery when there is a significant leg length difference, typically at least 2 cm. Smaller variations may be managed using shoe inserts. This surgical procedure may also be considered for individuals with conditions like achondroplasia, poliomyelitis, congenital femoral deficiency, cerebral palsy, and other disorders that result in a notable imbalance in leg length.
Apollo's advanced robotic surgical system, paired with orthopaedic surgeons’ expertise, delivers optimal outcomes for robotic surgeries, especially knee replacements using Mako Robotic-Arm Assisted Technology. This technology provides a customised surgical plan based on the patient's diagnosis and anatomy, allowing precise implant placement guided by the surgeon using a 3D virtual model of the knee.
Yes, robotic knee replacement is a safe and effective procedure compared to conventional knee replacement. It is a minimally invasive technique that provides enhanced precision and improved recovery.
In the majority of cases, patients are usually encouraged to use crutches for a period of 3 to 6 weeks following surgery. As you progress in your recovery, around the time of your six-week follow-up appointment, you may find that you are able to walk without the need for crutches or a walker.
Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure performed under anaesthesia. Hence, you will not experience any pain during surgery. After surgery you may experience slight pain. However, doctors will prescribe pain relieving medications.
Corticosteroid medications are effective for reducing inflammation and alleviating pain. Heat therapy, like using heating pads on sore joints, enjoying hot baths or showers, or immersing painful areas in warm paraffin wax, can offer temporary pain relief. Just remember to avoid the risk of burns.
