Areas of Expertise of Dr. Ashok Selvaraj

Dr. Ashok Selvaraj MIOT is known to have multiple areas of expertise including

• ACL Reconstruction: Reconstructing the ACL involves surgery to replace the knee's central ligament. The tibia (your shin bone) and the femur (your thigh bone) are joined by the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL). Your knee may give way while you exercise if this ligament is torn, most frequently when you side-step or crossover.
• Knee Replacement Surgery: A knee replacement involves surgery to replace the damaged knee joint with an artificial one produced artificially. We refer to the prosthetic joint as a prosthesis. The knee joint's damaged bone and cartilage are removed. Then, artificial parts are inserted into the knee.
• Hip Replacement: Hip replacement surgery entails removing problematic hip joint components, typically the ball and socket, and replacing them with brand-new ceramic, metal, or plastic components. Osteoarthritis is the most common cause of hip replacement surgery.
• Ankle Replacement Surgery: Surgery to replace the broken cartilage and bone in the ankle joint is known as an ankle replacement. Your own bones are replaced with prosthetic joints or artificial joint pieces. Ankle replacement surgery comes in a variety of forms.
• Shoulder Replacement Surgery: Surgery to replace the shoulder joint's bones with prosthetic joint components is known as shoulder replacement. When you have a total shoulder replacement, an artificial stem with a rounded metal head (ball) will replace the round end of your arm bone.  Your shoulder bone's socket (glenoid) will be replaced with a smooth plastic lining (socket), secured in place with specialized cement.
• Knee Arthroscopy: With a knee arthroscopy, a surgeon can see inside the knee joint without having to make a big incision through the skin or other soft tissues. Many different types of knee issues can be diagnosed and treated using arthroscopy.

Specializations of Dr. Ashok Selvaraj

Dr. Ashok Selvaraj has various specializations in the vast field of orthopedics. Some of them are,

• Limb-Lengthening Surgery: The surgical procedure known as "limb-lengthening" can lessen or eliminate differences in limb length. The procedure lengthens the bone in the patient's arm or leg and stretches the ligaments, tendons, and muscles that surround it.
• Carpal Tunnel Release: The transverse carpal ligament is separated during carpal tunnel surgery, also known as carpal tunnel release and carpal tunnel decompression surgery.
• Synovectomy: The treatment called a synovectomy involves removing the synovial tissue that surrounds a joint. When medication is insufficient to manage inflammation and irritation of the synovial membrane or the joint lining, this surgery is usually advised to relieve the problem.
• Fracture Treatment: The wrist, ankle, and hip are the most often fractured bone locations. A plaster cast can be used to immobilize the bone, or surgical metal rods or plates can be inserted to hold the fragments of bone together.
• Bankart Repair: A procedure for recurrent anterior shoulder dislocation is called a Bankart repair. The subscapularis tendon is not duplicated when the joint capsule is sewn to the separated glenoid labrum.
• Shoulder Impingement Surgery: Usually performed as a minimally invasive arthroscopic technique, shoulder impingement surgery involves expanding the shoulder joint to release pressure from the pinched soft tissues. If there are any bone spurs, the surgeon will remove them and clean up any damage to the joint.
• Shoulder Fracture Surgery: During this process, orthopedic surgeons will employ specialized hardware, such as plates, screws, or pins, to secure the bones back into place. Surgeons will occasionally repair soft tissues like ligaments and tendons as well as do bone grafting.
• Ankle Fracture Surgery: Reestablishing the ankle joint and stabilizing the bones to allow for healing are the primary objectives of ankle fracture surgery. Restoring function to the ankle joint lowers the likelihood of developing ankle arthritis. Using screws and plates to stabilize the ankle might enable earlier movement.
• Bursectomy: A bursa is a tiny sac filled with synovial fluid that cushions nearby bone structures and lessens friction during joint movement. A bursectomy is the removal of the bursa.
