- Congenital joint disorders
- Chronic joint inflammation

Our orthopedic surgeons at HDNA Aarogyam Hospital employ the latest minimally invasive techniques whenever possible, which offer numerous benefits including:
- Smaller incisions leading to reduced scarring
- Faster recovery times with shorter hospital stays
- Less post-operative pain and discomfort
- Reduced risk of complications
- Quicker return to normal activities
