Orthopaedics & joint care
Bones, joints, ligaments and spine: from sports injuries and fractures to joint replacement.
Specialities
Orthopaedics
Orthopaedics is where Rudraksh Healthcare began, and it remains the hospital's lead department. It is headed by Dr. Rajeev Ranjan, Senior Orthopedic Consultant, with MS and DNB degrees in Orthopaedics and fellowship training in sports injury in Singapore, Germany and Italy.
The department treats everything from a sprained ankle to a worn-out hip. Because the hospital is open 24 hours and has its own X-ray, fractures and accident injuries can be examined, imaged and treated without being sent elsewhere.

- Ligament and meniscus tears (ACL, PCL, meniscus)
- Shoulder dislocation and rotator cuff injury
- Fractures, dislocations and road or fall injuries
- Knee and hip arthritis
- Back pain, neck pain, slipped disc and sciatica
- Frozen shoulder, tennis elbow and other joint pain
Treatment we provide
- Arthroscopic (keyhole) joint surgery
- Ligament reconstruction
- Total knee and hip replacement
- Fracture fixation with plates, screws and nails
- Plaster, splints and non-surgical care

Four areas of orthopedic care
Choose a film to see what each area covers.
Sports injury & arthroscopy
Ligament tears, meniscus injuries and shoulder problems, often repaired through keyhole surgery.
- ACL and PCL ligament tears
- Meniscus tears
- Shoulder dislocation and rotator cuff injury
- Ankle sprains and instability
Sports injury & arthroscopy
Sports injuries are Dr. Rajeev Ranjan's area of fellowship training. Many ligament and cartilage injuries can be treated through arthroscopy: small incisions, a camera, and a faster return to walking, work and play.
Conditions treated
- ACL and PCL ligament tears
- Meniscus tears
- Shoulder dislocation and rotator cuff injury
- Ankle sprains and instability
Care we provide
- Arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery
- Ligament reconstruction
- Guided return-to-sport rehabilitation
See a doctor if: You felt a pop, the knee gives way, or a joint swells after a twist.
Joint replacement
When arthritis has worn a joint down and medicines or physiotherapy no longer help, a replacement can restore movement and end constant pain. Every decision starts with a careful examination and an honest discussion of options.
Conditions treated
- Knee osteoarthritis
- Hip arthritis
- Rheumatoid arthritis
- Avascular necrosis of the hip
Care we provide
- Total knee replacement
- Total hip replacement
- Pre-surgery assessment and post-surgery rehab
See a doctor if: Joint pain stops you walking, climbing stairs or sleeping through the night.
Trauma & fracture care
Rudraksh Healthcare is open 24 hours, so fractures and accident injuries can be seen without waiting for morning. Treatment ranges from plaster casts to surgical fixation with plates, screws and nails.
Conditions treated
- Fractures of the arm, leg, wrist and ankle
- Hip fractures in older adults
- Dislocations
- Road and fall injuries
Care we provide
- Plaster and splint management
- Surgical fixation (plates, screws, nails)
- Fracture follow-up and rehab
See a doctor if: After any fall or accident with pain, swelling or a limb you cannot move. Call us, day or night.
Spine, back pain & physiotherapy
Most back and neck pain improves without surgery. Care begins with finding the cause, followed by medicines, physiotherapy and posture correction, with surgery only when it is truly needed.
Conditions treated
- Low back pain and neck pain
- Slipped disc and sciatica
- Spondylosis
- Arthritis and joint stiffness
Care we provide
- Physiotherapy and rehabilitation
- Pain management
- Posture and exercise programmes
See a doctor if: Back pain that runs down the leg, or numbness, tingling or weakness.
What to expect
Examination
The doctor asks how the problem started and examines the joint, limb or back.
Imaging and tests
X-ray in the hospital when needed; MRI or blood tests if the diagnosis calls for them.
A clear plan
Options are explained in plain language, including whether surgery is really needed.
Treatment and recovery
Medicines, physiotherapy or surgery, with follow-up until you are moving well.
Questions patients ask
Do all joint injuries need surgery?
No. Many sprains, partial ligament tears and back problems recover with rest, bracing, medicines and physiotherapy. Surgery is advised when the injury will not heal well on its own, or when the joint stays unstable or painful.
Can I come in straight after an accident?
Yes. The hospital is open 24 hours. Come straight in, or call +91 90061 11350 on the way so the team knows to expect you.
What should I bring to my appointment?
Any earlier X-rays, MRI films and reports, a list of the medicines you take, and a photo ID.
