About Clinic

Discover the Inspiring History of Our Clinic

You should consult an orthopaedic surgeon if you experience persistent joint or bone pain, limited mobility, stiffness, swelling, or if an injury affects your daily activities. Conditions that don’t improve with rest, medications, or physical therapy may require expert evaluation and possible surgical intervention.

Dr. Barun Datta specializes in treating a wide range of orthopaedic conditions, including: ? Knee and hip arthritis ? Joint deformities ? Sports injuries ? Complex fractures and trauma ? Spinal injuries ? Post-traumatic rehabilitation ? Degenerative joint disorders

Minimally invasive orthopaedic surgery involves performing procedures through smaller muscle preserving incisions using advanced techniques and instruments. This approach results in less pain, reduced blood loss, shorter hospital stays, quicker recovery, and minimal scarring compared to traditional surgery.

Joint replacement is recommended when joint damage—typically from arthritis, injury, or wear and tear—causes severe pain, stiffness, and limits your ability to perform daily activities. If conservative treatments no longer offer relief, surgery may be the best option for restoring mobility and quality of life.

Recovery time varies by individual and type of surgery, but most patients begin walking with support within a day or two. Full recovery and return to normal activities usually take 6–12 weeks, with physical therapy playing a key role in regaining strength and function.

Yes. Dr. Datta prioritizes conservative treatment options before considering surgery. These may include medications, physiotherapy, lifestyle modifications, joint injections, and assistive devices. Surgical options are explored only when these treatments fail to provide adequate relief.

Preventing joint issues involves: ? Maintaining a healthy weight ? Staying physically active with low-impact exercises ? Eating a balanced, nutrient-rich diet ? Practicing good posture and body mechanics ? Avoiding repetitive joint stress and injuries Regular check-ups and early intervention can also help manage minor joint issues before they worsen.

Seek medical attention if you experience severe pain, swelling, bruising, inability to move a joint, or if symptoms don’t improve with rest and basic first aid. Early diagnosis is essential to avoid complications or long-term damage.

Treatment may include rest, ice, compression, elevation (RICE), physical therapy, medications, bracing, or surgical intervention in severe cases. Dr. Datta focuses on minimally invasive surgical options whenever necessary for faster recovery.

Yes, many sports injuries can be effectively managed with non-surgical treatments such as physiotherapy, joint injections, and activity modification. Surgery is recommended only if conservative methods fail or if the injury is severe.

Recovery time varies depending on the injury’s severity, the treatment method, and the individual’s overall health. Minor injuries may heal in days or weeks, while major injuries or surgeries may require several months of rehabilitation.

To prevent injuries: ? Warm up before activity and cool down afterward ? Use proper techniques and equipment ? Stay hydrated and maintain muscle strength ? Avoid overtraining and allow adequate rest ? Listen to your body and stop if you feel pain
