Spine Surgery

Polio, a viral disease that primarily affects children, can cause permanent muscle weakness, paralysis, and deformities, significantly impacting mobility and quality of life. Even though polio has been largely eradicated globally, many individuals continue to live with the long-term effects of the disease. At J K Hospital Multispeciality, we offer specialized polio surgery aimed at correcting deformities and improving functional abilities in polio survivors. Our experienced orthopedic surgeons carefully assess each patient’s unique condition, evaluating muscle strength, joint mobility, and skeletal alignment to devise an individualized surgical plan that maximizes independence and mobility.

The surgical techniques employed for polio patients focus on restoring balance and stability to the limbs and spine, addressing common complications such as limb length discrepancies, joint contractures, and foot deformities. Procedures may include tendon transfers, osteotomies (bone realignment), arthrodesis (joint fusion), and soft tissue releases, designed to improve gait and reduce pain. At J K Hospital, we use state-of-the-art orthopedic technologies and minimally invasive methods whenever feasible, ensuring the best possible surgical outcomes with minimized recovery time. Our team is committed to restoring function and enhancing the patient’s quality of life through careful, precise surgical intervention.

Postoperative rehabilitation is critical to the success of polio surgery, and our multidisciplinary care model includes dedicated physiotherapy and pain management tailored to the needs of polio survivors. Our physiotherapists design customized exercise programs to strengthen weakened muscles, increase joint mobility, and improve overall endurance. Additionally, we provide ongoing support and counseling to help patients adapt to lifestyle changes and maximize their functional potential. By combining surgical expertise with compassionate, comprehensive rehabilitation, J K Hospital Multispeciality strives to empower polio survivors to lead more active, independent lives.
