Orthopaedics

Orthopaedic surgery today addresses two main issues. One involves younger people who suffer from road traffic accidents, while the other concerns older individuals facing joint degeneration and falls at home. At our hospital, we operate a 24-hour fracture clinic and trauma centre, and we have permission to admit all types of medico-legal cases directly. For older patients with hip fractures, we offer modern surgical options using plates and rods or joint replacement.

We also have specialised clinics for managing back pain and disc problems. Our team works hard to treat back pain with non-surgical methods, but we also provide surgical solutions when necessary.

The first knee replacement in Tirunelveli was performed at Annai Velankanni Hospital. Now, we perform knee, hip, and shoulder replacements for arthritis and fractures. Our operating theatres meet international standards, featuring medical-grade air quality and the latest equipment, which helps minimise the risk of infection complications. We provide comprehensive care with a dedicated team and operating theatre for sports injuries and arthroscopy, supported by a highly trained physiotherapy and rehabilitation team. Our department is also equipped to handle bone and joint issues in children.
