Orthopedics

Orthopedics at Rajah Hospital in Guruvayoor covers joint, trauma, and spine care — both non-surgical treatment and surgery — for patients across Thrissur district, Kerala. Our orthopedic surgeons treat everything from sports injuries and fractures to chronic joint pain caused by arthritis and age-related wear, tailoring treatment to each patient’s activity level and long-term goals. Joint replacement surgery is available for patients with severe hip or knee arthritis where conservative treatment is no longer effective, restoring mobility and reducing pain. Fracture and trauma care is provided around the clock, an essential service given the region’s road traffic and workplace injury patterns. Arthroscopy allows our surgeons to diagnose and treat joint problems, particularly of the knee and shoulder, through minimally invasive techniques. For patients with back pain, disc problems, or spinal deformity, our spine surgery service addresses conditions that significantly affect daily function and quality of life. Orthopedics remains one of the busiest departments at Rajah Hospital, reflecting the everyday need for accessible bone and joint care close to home.
