Polio Surgery

Poliomyelitis, or polio, is a viral disease that can lead to long-term paralysis, muscular weakness, and limb deformities—particularly in children. Though largely eradicated through vaccination, many individuals who suffered from polio in the past continue to live with its orthopedic complications. At J K Hospital Multispeciality, we specialize in polio corrective surgeries that aim to improve limb function, correct deformities, and restore mobility for polio-affected patients, helping them achieve greater independence and quality of life.

Our polio surgery services focus on procedures like tendon transfers, muscle releases, osteotomies (bone realignment), and limb lengthening. These surgical techniques are used to rebalance the muscles, correct joint contractures, and stabilize weak or deformed limbs. Each surgical plan is tailored to the patient’s specific functional deficits and physical condition. Our team conducts a detailed assessment of the patient’s gait, muscle strength, and joint range before deciding on the most effective surgical approach. We strive for functional improvement that allows patients to walk more easily, use assistive devices better, or in some cases, walk unaided.

Recovery from polio surgery involves a multidisciplinary approach that includes post-operative physiotherapy, orthotic support, and regular follow-up care. Our dedicated rehabilitation team works closely with patients to regain strength, retrain muscles, and ensure proper limb alignment. We also provide custom orthotic devices like braces and splints to support the affected limb and prevent recurrence of deformity. At J K Hospital, our mission is to empower polio-affected individuals to live fuller, more active lives through compassionate care, skilled surgical intervention, and long-term support. With a commitment to restoring hope and mobility, we stand as a trusted center for polio reconstructive surgery in Maharashtra.
