Orthopaedic and sports injuries are common in the UAE. They can happen to anybody at any time. Children can get injured while playing in schools or parks. Adults can hurt themselves while engaging in physical activities or at work.

In orthopaedic or sports injuries, we need the best care at the right time.

Minimally-invasive procedures

The specialist doctors at Aster Hospitals use minimally-invasive techniques for treating cases. These extend to treating complex medical conditions, including knee or hip replacement procedures.

“Focus on minimally-invasive procedures enables our patients to recover faster, compared to conventional treatment methods,” said Dr Rahul S Shivadey, specialist orthopaedics at Aster Hospital, Qusais.

“We analyse the case of each patient coming to us and choose the best and the most appropriate treatment for them. We aim to offer the best to our patients.

Adult and paediatric care

Adult and paediatric orthopaedic care differ as their anatomic and physiological development are distinct. Orthopaedic conditions in children related to birth and congenital conditions require ongoing treatment and care from birth into adulthood.

“At Aster Hospitals, the orthopaedic department has the capability and capacity to diagnose and treat all conditions affecting adults and children. We treat both congenital and trauma injuries in children and deliver favourable outcomes that enable our patients to lead a healthy and happy life,” said Dr Raghavendra K Siddappa, specialist orthopaedics at Aster Hospital, Sharjah.

Apart from the conditions affecting children, the team is also capable and equipped to treat conditions like fractures, sports injuries and sprains, arthroscopic surgery for shoulder, elbow, wrist, knee and ankle, ligament tear and repair, and so on.
