Acetabular Fractures
Acetabular fractures present complex challenges due to their location and involvement of the hip joint. At Apple Hospitals, we specialize in the comprehensive management of acetabular fractures, led by Dr. Kotha Venkata Guruvardhan Kumar and our expert orthopedic team. Our approach focuses on achieving anatomical reduction, restoring joint congruency, and promoting early mobilization to optimize patient outcomes.
Key Highlights of Acetabular Fractures Management at Apple Hospitals:
Multidisciplinary Evaluation: Acetabular fractures undergo thorough evaluation using advanced imaging techniques such as CT scans and 3D reconstructions. Our multidisciplinary team comprising orthopedic surgeons, trauma specialists, and radiologists collaborates to assess fracture patterns, associated injuries, and the extent of joint involvement.
Surgical Expertise: Surgical intervention is often necessary to restore the integrity of the acetabulum and hip joint. Dr. Guru specializes in advanced surgical techniques for acetabular fractures, including open reduction and internal fixation (ORIF), percutaneous fixation, and minimally invasive approaches. Our goal is to achieve stable fixation while preserving joint function.
Anatomical Reduction: Achieving anatomical reduction is crucial for restoring hip joint congruency and preventing long-term complications such as post-traumatic arthritis and hip instability. Dr. Guru employs meticulous surgical techniques and intraoperative imaging to ensure accurate reduction of fractured fragments and restoration of joint alignment.
mplant Selection: The selection of appropriate implants plays a critical role in the management of acetabular fractures. Dr. Guru carefully selects implants based on fracture morphology, patient factors, and surgical considerations to achieve optimal stability and fixation. We utilize modern implants and fixation devices to support early mobilization and rehabilitation.
Postoperative Rehabilitation: Postoperative rehabilitation is initiated soon after surgery to promote joint mobility, prevent stiffness, and facilitate early weight-bearing. Our physical therapists design personalized rehabilitation programs tailored to each patient’s specific needs, focusing on strengthening exercises, range of motion activities, and gait training.
Long-Term Follow-Up: Long-term follow-up is essential to monitor fracture healing, assess joint function, and address any complications that may arise. Dr. Guru and our orthopedic team provide comprehensive follow-up care, including periodic imaging studies and functional assessments, to ensure optimal recovery and outcomes.
Patient Education and Support: We prioritize patient education and support throughout the treatment process, providing information on postoperative care, activity restrictions, and expected recovery milestones. Our team remains accessible to address patient concerns, answer questions, and provide reassurance during the rehabilitation phase.
Through our commitment to excellence and innovation in acetabular fractures management, Apple Hospitals offers patients comprehensive care and personalized treatment strategies. Dr. Guru’s expertise, coupled with our multidisciplinary approach, ensures that patients receive the highest standard of care, resulting in improved outcomes and quality of life.
