Osteoporosis and related Bone Diseases
Osteoporosis is a condition of continuous bone loss associated with an elevated risk of fractures. The disease usually develops unnoticed for over many years, with no signs and symptoms or discomfort until a split transpires.
The patients complain after they have experienced a fracture making subsequent prevention of the area where the orthopedic doctor may exert the most significant impact on patient care.
The diagnosis of osteoporosis at AVIVO Group is made by our ortho doctor using a combination of a comprehensive medical history as well as physical examination, skeletal x-rays, and specialized laboratory tests.
Since there is no replacement for a lost bone, treatment for osteoporosis emphasizes on the prevention of further bone loss.
Although exercise and nutrition therapy are often critical components of a treatment plan for osteoporosis, there are other treatments as well.
Pediatric Orthopedics
Pediatric orthopedic focus on musculoskeletal conditions in younger ones. The variety of conditions generally affects bony structures along with the soft tissues such as muscles and tendons. These conditions arise either since birth or acquired gradually. It can affect one or several bones. Our pediatric orthopedic specialists practice empathy towards concerned parents, which we consider as an essential to a good practice.
Pediatric care needs to consider a child’s growth, along with the prolonged treatment outcome into consideration at all times. In certain situations, a surgical procedure may become essential. Many conditions might only need to be discussed by screening and prevention, early detection, and at times conservative, nonsurgical means.
We recommend pediatric orthopedic treatment, after parameters such as remaining growth, functionality, discomfort, potential for spontaneous correction, and best medical practice into account. We aim to treat the patients comprehensively.

We offer the following range of services:
Comprehensive Diagnostic and Assessment Services
Our orthopaedists use a variety of assessment and screening tests for an absolute diagnosis. Some of these diagnostic tests help an orthopaedist in determining the severity of the condition and the location of concern, while the other tests help in ruling out other possible suspicions about the condition and non-orthopaedic causes of the symptoms.
In case of Autoimmune disorders, blood tests help evaluate the right findings to reach a diagnosis.
Bone scans either to test for bone density or abnormal bone formation can diagnose conditions like osteoporosis, arthritis or cancer.
CT Scans are performed to produce a detailed image of the patient’s skeletal structure to assess the areas of bone fracture, bone tumor, and severe musculoskeletal trauma.
Medical Management Services for Minor Ailments
Our orthopaedists aim to provide best medical service to their patients, helping them return to their normal functioning as soon as possible. They treat patients with bone fractures and joint misalignment through minimally invasive procedures and avoiding the surgical approach unless it is immensely necessary. Our orthopaedists perform the application and removal of plaster cast to realign the ends of fractured or broken bones, allowing it to heal with time.
Our orthopaedists perform the local and intra-articular injection procedure for acute or chronic joint pains and soft tissue pain. The local injections are used to reduce inflammation in the tissues and in the cells lining the joints. Intra-articular injection is a treatment procedure where the medicine shots are directly delivered in the areas of inflammatory joints to treat different forms of arthritis.
Surgical Management Services for Severe Injuries and Diseases
One of the most common surgical management procedures to diagnose and treat joint disorders is the process of arthroscopy. During the process of arthroscopy, an orthopaedist makes a small incision on the patient’s concerned joint to insert an arthroscope (a narrow tube with a video camera attached to its front end) through the incision. This helps the orthopaedist to observe the insides of your joint on a large video monitor without making a large incision.
The orthopaedic surgeons treat joint conditions through arthroscopy that affects the shoulders, elbow, knee, ankles, wrist and hip. During this surgical procedure, the surgeon inserts thin surgical instruments through other small incisions to treat inflamed joint linings, scarring within joints, torn or damage ligaments and loose bone fragments.
Another common surgical procedure performed by our orthopaedist surgeons is Open Reduction Internal Fixation (ORIF) for traumatic fractures and severely broken bones. This procedure is only performed when the fractures are incapable of being treated with regular casts and splints. The procedure begins with an orthopaedic surgeon creating an incision in the area of fracture to re-align the broken bones, and fixing it together with a few options in hardware like metal screws, rods, plates and pins. This procedure ensures effective healing of the damaged joints however, the hardware remains in its place permanently.
Sub-specialty of Sports Medicine
Our orthopaedists also collaborate with other medical professionals to focus on the health of an athlete. Our sports medicine services encompass the investigation and restoration of the structures of musculoskeletal system that is affected by all forms of athletic activity via preventative, medical, rehabilitative and surgical means.
