Expert Evaluation, Comprehensive Treatment & Rehabilitation for Bone and Joint Problems
Your bones, joints, muscles and ligaments form the foundation of movement. When an injury, arthritis, fracture or other musculoskeletal condition affects them, even simple activities such as walking, climbing stairs, sitting, standing or working can become difficult.
Orthopaedics is the medical specialty concerned with conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system, including bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons and related structures.
At Plexis Super Speciality Hospital, Sohna, our Orthopaedics service provides evaluation, diagnosis, treatment and rehabilitation support for a broad range of bone and joint conditions—from everyday joint pain and sports injuries to fractures and conditions that may require surgery.
Our goal is simple: help you understand your condition, choose an appropriate treatment pathway and work towards safer, better movement.
What Does Orthopaedic Care Include?
Orthopaedic care can involve both non-surgical and surgical treatment, depending on the underlying condition, its severity and the patient’s overall health.
Treatment may include:
- Medical evaluation
- Clinical examination
- X-ray and other diagnostic investigations when required
- Medication and pain management
- Physiotherapy and rehabilitation
- Activity and lifestyle guidance
- Immobilisation or supportive devices when appropriate
- Fracture management
- Surgical treatment when indicated
- Post-operative rehabilitation
- Follow-up and recovery monitoring
Not every orthopaedic problem requires surgery. For example, osteoarthritis is often initially managed with measures such as exercise, weight management where appropriate, pain-relieving treatment and physiotherapy; surgery may be considered in selected patients when symptoms remain significant despite other treatment.

FAQs
What conditions does an orthopaedic doctor treat?
Orthopaedic specialists evaluate conditions involving bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons and related structures. These can include fractures, arthritis, joint pain, sports injuries, degenerative conditions and conditions requiring surgical treatment.
Does every joint pain problem require surgery?
No. Treatment depends on the cause and severity of the problem. Many conditions can initially be managed with measures such as exercise, physiotherapy, medication and activity modification. Surgery may be considered for selected conditions when conservative treatment is insufficient.
When is knee replacement considered?
Knee replacement may be considered when significant knee pain and movement problems—commonly from osteoarthritis—substantially affect daily life and other treatments have not provided adequate relief.
How long does it take to recover after joint replacement?
Recovery varies depending on the operation and the individual’s health. Full recovery after knee or hip replacement can take several months or longer. Rehabilitation and following the treating team’s instructions are important parts of recovery.
Is physiotherapy important after orthopaedic surgery?
It can be an important part of recovery. Physiotherapy may help patients regain movement, strength, mobility and functional ability following surgery.
What should I do after a suspected fracture?
Avoid putting unnecessary weight or pressure on the injured area and seek prompt medical assessment. Severe pain, deformity, inability to bear weight or numbness requires urgent evaluation
Take the Next Step Towards Better Mobility
Living with persistent bone or joint pain can gradually affect your mobility, independence and quality of life. An appropriate orthopaedic evaluation can help identify the underlying problem and determine whether you may benefit from conservative treatment, rehabilitation or a surgical approach.
