Orthopaedic Surgery including Joint

At IPIMS Hospital’s Orthopaedic Department in Panipat, we understand that bone, joint, and muscle pain doesn’t just affect your body  it affects every part of your daily life. Whether you are struggling to climb stairs, suffering from a sports injury, or recovering from a fracture, our expert orthopaedic team is here to get you moving again.

Located conveniently on Main G.T. Road, Panipat, Haryana, IPIMS is one of the most trusted orthopaedic care centres serving patients from across Panipat, Karnal, Samalkha, Israna, and Kaithal.
Our department combines advanced surgical technology with compassionate, personalized care. From children with bone deformities to elderly patients needing joint replacements, we provide complete orthopaedic treatment under one roof  no need to travel to Delhi or Chandigarh.

What Is Orthopaedic Care?

Orthopaedics is the branch of medicine that deals with the diagnosis, treatment, rehabilitation, and prevention of disorders related to the bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons, and spine. In simple terms, it is the specialty that helps when something hurts, breaks, stiffens, or stops moving properly in your body’s physical framework. Orthopaedic problems are extremely common across all age groups. Children may develop bone deformities or fractures from falls. Working adults — especially farmers, construction workers, and factory labourers common in the Panipat region — face repetitive strain injuries and trauma.

Elderly patients commonly suffer from arthritis, osteoporosis, and joint deterioration that makes walking painful. In Haryana, musculoskeletal disorders are among the leading causes of disability and reduced quality of life. Many patients in Panipat suffer silently for years, unaware that effective surgical and non-surgical treatments are available locally. At IPIMS, our orthopaedic specialists bring tertiary-level expertise to your doorstep, right here in Panipat.
Our orthopaedic team is trained to diagnose and treat a wide range of bone, joint, and soft-tissue conditions. Here are the most common problems we treat:
Broken bones resulting from road accidents, falls, or sports injuries. Panipat’s location on the GT Road means road accident trauma cases are a significant part of our emergency orthopaedic workload.

How We Treat It:
Treatment depends entirely on the type and location of the fracture. Simple, stable fractures are managed with closed reduction the doctor manually realigns the bone without surgery followed by plaster casting or a splint to hold it in place while healing occurs over 4–8 weeks.

For more serious fractures such as compound (open) fractures or displaced bones Open Reduction and Internal Fixation (ORIF) surgery is performed. Our surgeons use metal plates, screws, or intramedullary nails inserted inside the bone to hold fragments in precise alignment. This is essential for fractures of the femur (thigh bone), tibia (shin bone), and wrist.

Complex poly-trauma cases involving multiple fractures common in road accidents are stabilized with external fixators first, then reconstructed in staged surgeries. Post-fracture physiotherapy at our in-house rehab unit ensures full restoration of strength and movement.
One of the most searched orthopaedic conditions in Panipat. Knee arthritis (osteoarthritis) causes progressive cartilage wear in the joint, leading to pain, swelling, stiffness, and difficulty walking, climbing stairs, or sitting cross-legged.

How We Treat It:
Treatment follows a step-by-step ladder from least to most invasive, based on severity.

In early-stage arthritis, we use a combination of anti-inflammatory medications, physiotherapy to strengthen the muscles supporting the knee, weight management counselling, and corticosteroid or hyaluronic acid (viscosupplementation) injections directly into the joint for pain relief and lubrication.

For patients not responding to conservative care, Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy uses the patient’s own blood to stimulate cartilage healing and reduce inflammation.

In severe arthritis where the joint space is completely destroyed, Total Knee Replacement (TKR) surgery is the definitive solution. Our surgeons replace the damaged joint surfaces with precisely fitted metal and high-grade plastic components. Most patients begin walking with support within 24–48 hours after surgery, and full recovery takes 6–8 weeks with guided physiotherapy.
Hip joint degeneration, avascular necrosis (bone death due to interrupted blood supply), or fractures of the femoral neck (common in elderly patients after falls) cause deep groin pain, limping, and complete inability to walk in severe cases.

How We Treat It:
Mild to moderate hip pain from early arthritis or bursitis is managed with physiotherapy, anti-inflammatory medications, and steroid injections into the hip joint.

Avascular necrosis in early stages can be addressed with a procedure called core decompression — drilling tiny channels into the femoral head to restore blood supply and prevent further collapse of the bone.

For advanced hip arthritis or fractures in elderly patients, Total Hip Replacement (THR) is the gold-standard treatment. The damaged femoral head and acetabular socket are replaced with a metal stem, ceramic or metal ball, and a plastic or ceramic cup. This completely eliminates the source of pain. Patients are mobilized within 1–2 days post-surgery. Our implants are sourced from internationally certified manufacturers, ensuring longevity of 15–25 years.
Back pain is among the most common complaints across all age groups in India. At IPIMS, we treat slip disc (disc herniation), spinal stenosis (narrowing of the spinal canal), spondylosis (age-related spine degeneration), spondylolisthesis (vertebral slipping), and sciatica (shooting pain down the leg from nerve compression).

How We Treat It:
The majority of back problems — nearly 85–90% — are successfully treated without surgery. Our first-line approach combines structured physiotherapy, hot/cold therapy, postural correction training, and NSAIDs or muscle relaxants to relieve acute pain. For persistent nerve pain from disc herniation, epidural steroid injections or nerve root block injections deliver anti-inflammatory medication directly to the compressed nerve, providing significant relief.

Surgical intervention is reserved for cases where nerve compression is causing weakness, numbness, or loss of bladder/bowel control. We perform Microdiscectomy (minimally invasive disc fragment removal), Laminectomy (spinal canal decompression), and Spinal Fusion using titanium implants for unstable vertebrae. Our spine surgeries are performed under advanced imaging guidance to ensure precision and safety.
Frozen shoulder (adhesive capsulitis), rotator cuff tears, and shoulder dislocations are common in manual labourers, farmers, and athletes. Symptoms include deep shoulder ache, inability to raise the arm, and night pain that disturbs sleep — all very commonly reported by patients in the Panipat region.

How We Treat It:
Frozen shoulder is treated through a progressive physiotherapy programme combined with intra-articular corticosteroid injections. A procedure called Manipulation Under Anaesthesia (MUA) — where the shoulder is gently mobilized while the patient is sedated — can rapidly break adhesions and restore movement.

Partial rotator cuff tears are managed with physiotherapy and PRP injections to promote tendon healing. Complete rotator cuff tears in active patients are repaired using arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery — the torn tendon ends are sutured back to the bone using tiny anchors through two or three small incisions, avoiding large open cuts.

Recurrent shoulder dislocations are corrected with Bankart repair surgery (arthroscopic stabilization), tightening the ligaments that hold the shoulder joint in place. Recovery involves a sling for 4 weeks followed by progressive physiotherapy.
Ligament tears (especially ACL — anterior cruciate ligament), meniscus injuries, and tendon ruptures in athletes, young adults, and increasingly in Panipat’s amateur cricket and kabaddi players. Symptoms include sudden joint pain, swelling, instability, and inability to bear weight.

How We Treat It:
ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) tears — the most common serious sports injury — are reconstructed arthroscopically. A graft (usually taken from the patient’s own hamstring or patellar tendon) replaces the torn ligament and is fixed inside the knee through tiny incisions. This is keyhole surgery — no large cuts, minimal blood loss, and the patient is typically discharged within 2 days.

Meniscus tears (cartilage damage inside the knee) are treated with arthroscopic meniscus repair or partial meniscectomy, depending on tear location and pattern. Tendon ruptures such as Achilles tendon tears are repaired surgically with suture techniques, followed by a structured rehabilitation protocol.

Our in-house physiotherapy unit runs sport-specific rehabilitation programmes to return athletes to competitive activity safely, reducing re-injury risk.
Weakened bones due to calcium deficiency, Vitamin D deficiency, and hormonal changes — especially in postmenopausal women — significantly increase the risk of fragility fractures (fractures from minor falls or even everyday activity). This is a growing concern among women above 45 years in Haryana.

How We Treat It:
The first step is diagnosis using a Bone Mineral Density (BMD/DEXA) scan available at IPIMS, which measures bone density and predicts fracture risk. Treatment includes calcium and Vitamin D supplementation, dietary counselling, weight-bearing exercise programmes, and fall prevention strategies at home.

For patients with confirmed osteoporosis, anti-resorptive medications (bisphosphonates such as alendronate or zoledronic acid infusions) are prescribed to slow bone loss and strengthen existing bone. Anabolic agents like teriparatide are used in severe cases to actively build new bone tissue.

If a vertebral fracture has already occurred causing severe back pain, a minimally invasive procedure called Vertebroplasty or Kyphoplasty — injecting bone cement into the collapsed vertebra — provides immediate pain relief and restores vertebral height.
Club foot, bow legs (genu varum), knock knees (genu valgum), developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), limb length discrepancies, and scoliosis (curved spine) in children require specialized, age-appropriate treatment that differs significantly from adult orthopaedics.

How We Treat It:
Club foot in newborns is treated with the internationally proven Ponseti Method — a series of weekly plaster casts progressively correct the foot position over 6–8 weeks, often avoiding surgery. A minor Achilles tendon release procedure and a foot abduction brace complete the treatment.

Developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH) in infants is treated with a Pavlik harness — a soft brace worn for 6–8 weeks — to guide the hip into correct alignment. Older children may require surgery.

Limb length discrepancies are corrected using guided growth techniques (temporary stapling) or limb lengthening with an Ilizarov / Taylor Spatial Frame for larger discrepancies.

Scoliosis is monitored with serial X-rays; mild curves are managed with bracing, while progressive curves above 40–45° require surgical correction with spinal rods.
Numbness, tingling, burning sensation, and progressive weakness in the thumb, index, and middle fingers caused by compression of the median nerve at the wrist. This is especially common in people doing repetitive hand work — a significant concern for Panipat’s textile factory workers and homemakers.

How We Treat It:
Mild to moderate cases are managed non-surgically. A wrist splint worn at night keeps the wrist in a neutral position, relieving pressure on the nerve. Corticosteroid injections into the carpal tunnel reduce inflammation and provide significant short-term relief for most patients.

When symptoms are severe, long-standing, or not responding to conservative treatment, Carpal Tunnel Release surgery is performed. This is a simple, day-care (outpatient) procedure done under local anaesthesia — the transverse carpal ligament is divided, immediately releasing the compressed nerve.

The procedure takes under 30 minutes. Patients typically notice improvement in tingling and numbness within days, with full recovery in 3–4 weeks.
Bacterial infection of bone tissue, particularly in children (typically following bloodstream infections) and in diabetic patients or those with open fractures. Symptoms include deep, aching bone pain, fever, redness, swelling over the bone, and sometimes a discharging wound.

How We Treat It:
Acute osteomyelitis (recent infection) is treated aggressively with high-dose intravenous antibiotics targeting the causative organism — identified through blood cultures and bone biopsy. Antibiotic treatment typically continues for 4–6 weeks, transitioning to oral antibiotics for a further 4–8 weeks.

When infection has caused bone destruction, dead bone tissue (called a sequestrum) must be surgically removed in a procedure called sequestrectomy and debridement. The cavity left behind may be filled with antibiotic-impregnated calcium sulphate beads that release antibiotics locally over weeks, ensuring sterilization of the infected site without systemic side effects.

In diabetic foot osteomyelitis, treatment is multidisciplinary — our orthopaedic team works closely with diabetologists and vascular surgeons to achieve infection control and limb salvage, avoiding unnecessary amputation.
Achilles tendon rupture, peroneal tendon tears, ankle ligament sprains, and ligament injuries throughout the body. These range from minor Grade I sprains (stretched fibres) to complete Grade III ruptures requiring surgical repair.

How We Treat It:
Mild-to-moderate sprains (Grade I & II) are treated with the PRICE protocol — Protection, Rest, Ice, Compression, and Elevation — combined with physiotherapy to restore strength and proprioception (joint sense). NSAIDs reduce inflammation and pain in the acute phase.

PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) injections into chronically injured tendons accelerate healing by delivering a high concentration of growth factors directly to damaged tissue, particularly useful for chronic Achilles tendinopathy or patellar tendinopathy.

Complete tendon ruptures (Grade III) — such as a total Achilles tendon tear — require surgical repair. The torn tendon ends are sutured together through a minimally invasive incision, followed by casting and a graduated rehabilitation programme. Return to full activity typically takes 4–6 months.

Chronic ankle instability from repeated sprains is corrected with ligament reconstruction surgery (Brostrom procedure), tightening the lateral ankle ligaments to prevent further episodes.
Benign (non-cancerous) and malignant (cancerous) tumours of bones, including osteosarcoma, Ewing’s sarcoma, giant cell tumours, and osteochondromas. Symptoms may include persistent, unexplained bone pain, a palpable lump over a bone, swelling, or an unusual fracture through a weakened bone.

How We Treat It:
Evaluation begins with X-ray, MRI, and CT scanning to assess tumour size, location, and involvement of surrounding tissues. A bone biopsy — taking a small tissue sample — confirms the exact tumour type and guides treatment.

Benign tumours (e.g., osteochondromas, simple bone cysts) that are not causing symptoms may simply be monitored with periodic imaging. Symptomatic benign tumours are treated with surgical excision and bone grafting to fill the defect. Malignant bone tumours require a multidisciplinary approach. Our orthopaedic oncology team coordinates with medical oncologists and radiation oncologists.

Treatment typically combines neo-adjuvant chemotherapy (to shrink the tumour before surgery), followed by limb-salvage surgery (removing the tumour while preserving the limb using bone grafts or custom metal implants), and adjuvant chemotherapy or radiotherapy post-surgery. Our goal is always to preserve the limb and function wherever oncologically safe to do so.
