Centre for Knee & Hip Surgery (CKHS), at Baroda is probably the only unit in India, which addresses the entire range of knee-related problems and offers patients need-based solutions. It has the complete range of treatment facilities for knee & Hip problems starting from non-operative solutions to the minimally invasive arthroscopic surgical technique extending upto complex procedures like knee and hip replacement surgery and Revision knee & hip replacement surgery.
Situated at Race Course Circle, a prime location in Baroda, Centre for Knee & Hip Surgery is easy to access. The distance of this hospital is about 2.5 kms from railway station, 3 kms from G.S.R.T.C. bus station and 5 kms from the airport.
This clinic is perhaps the only one of its kind in the entire country to focus just on the knee and hip joint. The benefits of having such a clinic are plenty. Some of them are :-
The Centre for Knee & Hip Surgery has established itself as a prime centre for medical tourism in India. We have patients coming from U.K., U.S.A., Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Zambia, Australia, Newzeland, Panama Canal, Mauritius, Fiji Islands & the Middle East countries. These patients include foreigners and not just Non Resident Indians.
An arthroscopy is a pencil-sized fiberoptic instrument attached to a small camera viewer that is used to look inside the joint. During surgery, special slim instruments are passed to remove bits of bone and cartilage from the joint cavity, drain excess synovial fluid, or repair small tears in the meniscus, a pad of special rubbery cartilage in the knee. The arthroscope is inserted through a very small incision, which leaves little scarring.
This surgery does not require general anesthesia, and is done under local anaesthesia. It does not involve any blood loss. This is an advanced form of surgery and requires a very high level of costly instrumentation system. There are very few centres in India with a proper set-up offering this service.
May be an option when Osteoarthritis involve a single, weight-bearing compartment of the
knee joint.
Uni Condylar knee Replacement
This is a form of surgery which is useful in a particular category of patients where a
small part of the knee joint is affected by wear and tear and the rest of the joint is well
preserved. When applicable, this surgical procedure can be offered to the patient with the
advantage of much reduced cost and relatively quick functional recovery. Only a small part of
the knee surface is replaced in this procedure.
Revision Total Knee Replacement
Although less commonly required, sometimes, the knee which has already been replaced
earlier might need another procedure. This is called Revision Total Knee Replacement. It
requires much more precision of surgical technique, a high level of instrumentation system and
experience in this particular form of surgery.
Centre for Knee Surgery does all the above category of surgical procedures on a regular
basis and the total number of patients treated with surgical procedures related to the knee
would exceed seven thousand. This has built up a very high experience and expertise level for
the team members starting from nursing staff, operation theatre assistants, surgeons,
physiotherapists and others.
