Our team of experienced doctors, led by Dr. Subodh M Shetty, is dedicated to providing personalized care plans, utilizing advanced surgical techniques, and ensuring a smooth recovery process.

Understanding Fracture of the Neck of Femur:

A fracture of the neck of the femur is a break in the upper part of the thigh bone near the hip joint. This type of fracture is most common in older adults, especially those with osteoporosis (weakening of bones).

Causes of Femoral Neck Fractures:

Falls: The leading cause, especially among elderly individuals with weakened bones.
Low-impact trauma: Even minor falls or bumps can cause fractures in individuals with osteoporosis.
High-impact trauma: Car accidents or other high-energy injuries can cause these fractures in any age group.

Symptoms of Femoral Neck Fractures:

Severe pain in the hip or groin, often worsening with movement.
Inability to bear weight on the affected leg.
Shortened leg on the affected side.
Bruising and swelling around the hip.

Diagnosis at Ishaan Ortho & Spine:

A thorough evaluation includes:

Medical history and physical examination: Discussing your symptoms and performing a physical exam to assess pain, range of motion, and leg length discrepancy.
Imaging tests: X-rays to visualize the bones and confirm the fracture location, and possibly an MRI scan to assess any soft tissue damage.

Treatment Options at Ishaan Ortho & Spine:

Surgery is typically required for treating femoral neck fractures due to the instability of the broken bone and the risk of non-union (failure to heal properly). The specific surgical approach depends on factors like the patient’s age, health, and the type of fracture:

Internal fixation: Screws or pins are used to stabilize the fractured bone fragments while they heal.
Hemiarthroplasty: Replacing the head of the femur with an artificial joint component while preserving the remaining parts of the joint.
Total hip replacement: In some cases, replacing the entire hip joint with artificial components might be necessary.

Hospitalization Care:

Hospitalization is mandatory following surgery for:

Post-operative monitoring: Closely monitoring vital signs, pain management, and initial recovery progress.
Physical therapy: Starting early rehabilitation exercises to regain strength, flexibility, and improve mobility.

The typical length of hospitalization can vary depending on the individual case and chosen surgery:

For minimally invasive procedures: May require a shorter hospital stay, potentially 2-3 days.
For complex surgeries: May require a stay of several days followed by rehabilitation in a care facility or at home.

Our team, including surgeons, nurses, and rehabilitation specialists, will work collaboratively to:

Develop a personalized care plan tailored to your specific needs.

  I had neck pain because of long hour sitting job. I was by a colleague to Dr Subodh Shetty at Ishaan Orthopaedics and was diagnosed with Cervical issues.

  Words can hardly convey the incredible transformation that has occurred in our lives, all thanks to the extraordinary Dr. Subodh M. Shetty. He is more than just a doctor; he is our savior, and his impact on our family is immeasurable.

My father's struggle with ankylosing spondylitis was nothing short of a nightmare. The mere act of bending was accompanied by a horrifying symphony of joint movement, a sound that served as a constant reminder of the pain he endured every day. His condition left him unable to enjoy the simplest of pleasures, and it weighed heavily on all of us.

When we first met Dr. Shetty, my father's situation was further complicated by a dangerously low hemoglobin level. Many doctors might have hesitated, but not Dr. Shetty. He calibrates his approach with a precision that can only be described as miraculous. His unwavering confidence in the face of adversity gave us the strength to proceed with the surgery, despite the odds.

During the surgery, Dr. Shetty's skill and expertise shone brightly. He guided my father through the intricate procedure with a steady hand, leaving us with no doubt that we had made the right choice. But Dr. Shetty's care did not stop at the operating room; he provided us with a professional physiotherapist who played a crucial role in managing my father's pain and facilitating his recovery.

What truly sets Dr. Shetty apart is his unwavering dedication. He was with us every step of the way, from the initial consultation to my father's complete recovery. His presence was a source of comfort and reassurance, a guiding light in our darkest hours.

Our journey with Dr. Shetty began with a simple Google search, "Best Orthopedic Doctor Near Me," and little did we know that this search would change the course of our lives. Dr. Subodh M. Shetty is not just a doctor; he is a miracle worker, a compassionate healer, and a guiding force that has brought light and hope back into our family.

To Dr. Shetty, you are not only a gifted surgeon but a true guardian angel. Your skill, dedication, and unwavering support have given my father a new lease on life, and for that, we are forever grateful. You have touched our hearts in ways words can't capture, and we consider ourselves blessed to have found you.
