Conditions We Support
We assess and treat these orthopaedic conditions — tap a card to view related procedures or request an e-opinion.
Hip Arthritis & AVN
Severe hip pain or collapse from Avascular Necrosis (AVN) may require Total Hip Replacement (THR) (cemented/uncemented, centre-specific bearings), after imaging and surgeon review.
Sports Injuries (ACL/Meniscus/Shoulder)
Instability or locking suggests ligament/meniscal tears. Options include ACL reconstruction, meniscus repair, and shoulder arthroscopy/rotator cuff repair.
Spine (Disc Herniation, Stenosis, Deformity)
Back/leg pain or numbness may be treated with medicines, targeted injections, or surgery such as microdiscectomy, decompression, or fusion (TLIF/PLIF/ACDF) after MRI and specialist evaluation.
Fractures & Complex Trauma
From simple to complex fractures (peri-articular/long-bone/pelvic), care includes internal fixation/IM nailing and early rehabilitation to restore function.
Paediatric Orthopedics
Children’s conditions (Clubfoot, DDH, Limb Issues) are managed via Ponseti casting, bracing, or surgery; limb differences may need deformity correction/lengthening.
Foot & Ankle, Hand & Wrist
Specialised care for ankle instability, Achilles tears, flatfoot, and hand/wrist conditions (including nerve releases and microsurgical repair).

Procedures
Treatments & Procedures
Here are the key procedures performed by leading specialists in Orthopedics.
ACL Reconstruction in India
ACL reconstruction surgery in India is widely chosen by international patients due to advanced arthroscopic techniques, experienced orthopedic surgeons, and significantly lower treatment costs compared to many Western countries. ACL reconstruction is a surgical procedure to replace a torn anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee. This crucial ligament helps stabilise the knee joint, especially during twisting and pivoting movements. A torn ACL often results from sports injuries, leading to instability, pain, and difficulty with physical activity. In India, this procedure is typically performed using arthroscopic techniques, involving small incisions and specialised instruments to reconstruct the ligament using a graft. The goal is to restore knee function, reduce pain, and enable patients to return to their active lifestyles with improved stability.
Arthroscopy Surgery in India
Arthroscopy is a sophisticated, minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat a wide range of problems inside a joint. Instead of large incisions, a surgeon makes small cuts to insert a thin tube equipped with a camera (arthroscope). This allows for a clear, magnified view of the joint's interior on a monitor, enabling precise identification and repair of issues like cartilage damage, ligament tears, or inflammation. This technique typically results in less pain, reduced scarring, and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery. VRH Healthcare facilitates access to India's top orthopedic centres for this advanced procedure.
Hip Replacement in India
Hip replacement surgery in India, also known as total hip arthroplasty, is a procedure in which a damaged or arthritic hip joint is replaced with artificial implants to relieve pain and restore mobility. It is commonly recommended for advanced osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, avascular necrosis (AVN), hip fractures, and severe joint degeneration. Leading orthopedic centres in India offer total hip replacement, minimally invasive approaches, and robotic-assisted hip replacement using high-quality imported implants. International patients choose India for experienced joint replacement surgeons, modern surgical technology, structured rehabilitation programs, and significantly lower hip replacement costs compared to the USA, UK, and Europe.
Knee Replacement in India
Knee replacement surgery in India is a procedure in which damaged cartilage and bone of the knee joint are replaced with artificial implants to relieve pain and restore movement. It is commonly recommended for patients with advanced osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, post-traumatic arthritis, or severe knee deformity that limits daily activities. During the procedure, the surgeon removes worn-out joint surfaces and replaces them with precision-engineered metal and medical-grade polyethylene components. India offers advanced orthopaedic centres equipped with computer-assisted and robotic knee replacement systems, helping improve alignment accuracy and long-term implant durability. VRH Healthcare supports international patients with hospital selection, expert second opinions, and coordinated treatment planning.
Pediatric Orthopedic Treatment in India
Pediatric orthopedic treatment in India focuses on diagnosing and treating musculoskeletal conditions affecting infants, children, and adolescents. Pediatric orthopedic specialists manage disorders of growing bones, joints, muscles, and ligaments, ensuring proper physical development and long-term mobility. Common conditions treated by pediatric orthopedic surgeons include congenital deformities such as clubfoot, developmental dysplasia of the hip (DDH), limb length discrepancies, and spinal deformities such as scoliosis. Children may also require treatment for fractures, sports injuries, bone infections, and growth plate injuries. Diagnosis typically involves physical examination, imaging tests such as X-rays, MRI scans, CT scans, and gait analysis to understand how a child’s bones and joints are developing. Treatment may include non-surgical approaches such as casting, bracing, physiotherapy, and guided growth techniques, or surgical correction for more complex conditions. India has become a preferred destination for international families seeking pediatric orthopedic treatment due to experienced pediatric orthopedic surgeons, advanced orthopedic hospitals, and significantly lower treatment costs compared with the United States, United Kingdom, and many European countries. VRH Healthcare is not a hospital. We act as an independent medical facilitator that helps international patients obtain expert pediatric orthopedic opinions, compare accredited hospitals and orthopedic surgeons, review medical reports, and receive transparent treatment guidance before travelling to India.
Shoulder Replacement Surgery in India
Shoulder replacement surgery, also known as shoulder arthroplasty, is a procedure to replace damaged parts of the shoulder joint with artificial components (prosthetics). This surgery is typically recommended for individuals experiencing severe shoulder pain and limited mobility due to conditions like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, rotator cuff tear arthropathy, or complex fractures. The goal is to relieve pain, restore function, and improve the patient's quality of life. India offers advanced orthopedic care with experienced surgeons and modern implants for this complex procedure.
Spine Surgery in India
Spine surgery in India addresses a range of conditions affecting the back and neck, from degenerative disc disease to spinal deformities. It aims to relieve pain, restore nerve function, and improve mobility when conservative treatments are insufficient. Procedures vary widely, tailored to the specific diagnosis and patient needs, often utilising advanced techniques for better outcomes.
