Joint surgery is a medical procedure performed to repair or replace damaged joints in the body, such as the knee, hip, or shoulder. These joints may become impaired due to arthritis, trauma, or aging, leading to pain, stiffness, and limited movement. Healthy joints have articular cartilage and synovial fluid that enable smooth movement, but when these are damaged, the joint's function deteriorates.
Gastrointestinal Surgery : Treating digestive disorders through minimally invasive and open surgeries.

When is Joint Surgery Needed?
Doctors typically recommend non-surgical treatments first, including medications, physical therapy, or walking aids to alleviate pain and improve mobility. However, if these methods do not provide relief and the joint damage is severe, joint surgery becomes necessary. The goal of the surgery is to relieve pain, restore joint function, and improve the patient’s overall quality of life.
Knee replacement (knee arthroplasty) is a surgical procedure to replace damaged knee joint surfaces, relieving pain and restoring mobility. It is recommended for arthritis patients, severe knee pain, or cases unresponsive to non-surgical treatments. Advances in knee surgery have made procedures less invasive with longer-lasting results, especially for younger patients.
Stature lengthening is a cosmetic surgery to increase height, with patients gaining 5-8 cm in the thigh bone and potentially another 5-8 cm in the shin bone through a separate procedure. This field is rapidly evolving, offering predictable outcomes and extending to upper limbs in some cases.
