Most scoliosis is caught late because the early signs are subtle unless you know where to look.

Scoliosis is a sideways curvature of the spine that often develops during periods of rapid growth, particularly in adolescence. Early identification creates an opportunity to monitor progression and guide treatment decisions at the right time.

As a parent, a simple visual check can help you notice changes that deserve further evaluation.

𝗧𝗵𝗿𝗲𝗲 𝘀𝗶𝗴𝗻𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿:

𝗨𝗻𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀
One shoulder appears higher than the other when your child is standing naturally.

𝗥𝗶𝗯 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲
When bending forward, one side of the rib cage appears more prominent than the other.

𝗪𝗮𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝘀𝘆𝗺𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗿𝘆
The spaces between the arms and waist appear different on each side, or the waistline looks uneven.

• During growth spurts
• If posture appears to be changing
• If there is a family history of scoliosis
• If any of the above signs are noticed

This International Scoliosis Awareness Day, take a moment to observe your child's posture. Early recognition supports timely intervention and helps children stay active, confident, and healthy as they grow.

For years, he lived with a knee that never felt stable. A sudden twist, climbing stairs, walking fast, even routine movement came with the fear that his kneecap could slip out again.

Repeated patellar dislocations affected his confidence, mobility, and daily life. There were times he avoided activities he once enjoyed because the knee felt unpredictable and unstable.

After evaluation, he was diagnosed with recurrent patella instability. To restore stability to the kneecap, the treatment planned was MPFL (Medial Patellofemoral Ligament) reconstruction using a hamstring graft.

The procedure helps recreate the damaged ligament that normally keeps the patella aligned and stable during movement. In this case, the goal was to reduce instability, improve knee function, and help him return to everyday movement with greater confidence.

His post-surgery recovery showed a marked improvement in knee stability and control, an important step toward getting back to normal activities without constant fear of dislocation.

A shoulder dislocation is often treated like a one-time event. But in many cases, it creates lasting structural changes that make the joint unstable.

And once instability sets in, recurrence becomes more likely, even with minor movements.

If you have had one or more dislocations, here’s what matters:

𝟭. 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗹𝘆 𝗼𝗻 “𝗽𝘂𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗶𝘁 𝗯𝗮𝗰𝗸” 𝗿𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗱𝗹𝘆
Each dislocation can cause additional damage to cartilage and bone, increasing long-term instability.

𝟮. 𝗔𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻
Even if pain settles, the joint may remain mechanically unstable.
Clinical tests and imaging help determine true risk.

𝟯. 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗱𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘀𝗵𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱𝗲𝗿
Targeted rehab for rotator cuff and scapular muscles improves control and reduces recurrence risk.

𝟰. 𝗨𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗲𝗿𝘆 𝗶𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻
In cases of repeated dislocations or significant structural damage,
stabilisation procedures may prevent further joint deterioration.

Shoulder instability doesn’t fix itself over time. It usually progresses.

Most people wait for pain. But in hip arthritis, your walking pattern changes before pain becomes obvious.

And that’s exactly where early intervention can make the biggest difference.

Because once the body starts compensating, it slowly creates a chain reaction,
affecting the knee, lower back, and overall posture.

If you have noticed even a subtle limp, here’s what you should focus on:

𝟭. 𝗖𝗵𝗲𝗰𝗸 𝗷𝗼𝗶𝗻𝘁 𝗺𝗼𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝗹𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗹𝘀
𝟮. 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗲𝗻𝗴𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘀, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 “𝗹𝗲𝗴𝘀.
𝟯. 𝗔𝘃𝗼𝗶𝗱 “𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗶𝘁” 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗿𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻

A limp is not just a walking issue. It’s an early biomechanical warning.

The earlier you act, the more you can preserve.

In May 2020, Trupti from Pune came to us with a serious infection in her left foot. The infection had already reached the bone, and amputation had been suggested as the only option.

When I reviewed her case, I felt it was important to explore every possibility before considering such a life-altering step.

With careful surgery and continued treatment, we were able to 𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗼𝗹 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗶𝗻𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗳𝗼𝗼𝘁 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗼𝘂𝘁 𝗮𝗺𝗽𝘂𝘁𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻.

Moments like these remind me that medicine is not only about procedures - it is about 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘀𝘁, 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗻𝗱𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗷𝗼𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝘆 𝗼𝗳 𝗿𝗲𝗰𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘆.

Morning discomfort is common but not all discomfort is the same. Stiffness can be normal.

Pain is your body warning you. The problem is most people can’t tell one from the other.

This carousel breaks it down simply and clearly. Go through it to know when you need to take action.

In orthopaedic care, recovery does not happen in surgery alone.
It happens in the hours after, when patients are in pain, unsure, and learning to move again.

In those moments, nurses are there at every step
They observe, support, and act early, often before anyone else.

As a surgeon, I see this every day.
Good outcomes are never achieved alone.
They are built by a team, and nurses are at the centre of it.

Grateful for everything you do.

This Mother’s Day, along with flowers and wishes, give mothers something equally important: a reminder to prioritise their own health.

Years of caring for everyone else often mean their own discomfort gets ignored.

Knee pain is dismissed as “normal with age.”
Backache becomes “part of daily life.”
Stiffness is tolerated.

Fatigue is pushed through.
For many women, especially after 40, orthopaedic health needs greater attention.

Encourage the mothers in your life to listen to what their body is telling them.

A few important reminders:

• Do not ignore recurring knee or back pain
• Prioritise calcium, vitamin D, and protein intake
• Stay physically active with joint-friendly movement

Celebrating mothers is not only about gratitude.

It is also about encouraging them to care for the health that keeps them moving.

Early attention can prevent bigger problems later.
Happy Mother’s Day.

Knee replacement is often feared, delayed, or seen as a “last resort.”

But clinically, the real question is not:
“How long can I avoid surgery?”

It is:

“Am I delaying it at the cost of my mobility and independence?”
Because waiting too long can lead to:

Severe stiffness (making surgery and recovery harder)
Muscle wasting (slower rehabilitation)
Increased dependence on painkillers

If you are dealing with ongoing knee issues, here’s what you should do:

𝟭. 𝗠𝗮𝘅𝗶𝗺𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝗻-𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗴𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗹𝘆 (𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗲𝗻𝗱𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗹𝘆)
Weight management, structured physiotherapy, and medical management can delay progression, but only if done correctly and consistently.

𝟮. 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗰𝗸 𝗳𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻
Ask yourself:
Can you walk comfortably? Climb stairs? Sleep without pain?
Functional decline is a stronger indicator than pain alone.

𝟯. 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗱𝗲𝗹𝗮𝘆 𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗲 𝗱𝗮𝗶𝗹𝘆 𝗹𝗶𝗳𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗮𝗳𝗳𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱
When conservative treatment fails and mobility drops,
timely knee replacement can restore independence and quality of life significantly.

𝟰. 𝗖𝗵𝗼𝗼𝘀𝗲 𝘁𝗶𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴, 𝗱𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗯𝗲 𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗻𝘁𝗼 𝗶𝘁
Early informed decision gives better outcomes, smoother recovery, and stronger results.
Knee replacement is not about age. It’s about function, damage, and quality of life.
The right timing doesn’t limit you; it gives you your life back.

Most people treat ankle injuries casually. Rest for a few days, start walking again, and move on.

But what often gets missed is this:
An improperly healed ankle changes how you move permanently.
And over time, that altered movement starts stressing the knee, hip, and lower back.

Not immediately.
But gradually, and often silently.

If you have had an ankle injury, here’s what actually helps:

𝟭. 𝗥𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝘆, 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲 𝗽𝗮𝗶𝗻
Pain going away doesn’t mean the joint is stable.
Ligament strength and balance training are critical to prevent compensation.

𝟮. 𝗥𝗲-𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿 𝗴𝗮𝗶𝘁 (𝘄𝗮𝗹𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗻)
Even a slight limp or uneven step can overload other joints.
Focused rehab ensures your movement returns to normal.

𝟯. 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝘀𝗸𝗶𝗽 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗼𝗰𝗲𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴
Balance and joint awareness exercises (like single-leg stability work)
help prevent repeated injuries and long-term joint stress.

𝟰. 𝗚𝗲𝘁 𝗮𝘀𝘀𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗳 𝘀𝘆𝗺𝗽𝘁𝗼𝗺𝘀 𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗳𝘁
If knee or back pain starts after an ankle injury,
it’s often connected, not a new, separate problem.

The body doesn’t work in parts. It works as a system.

Fix the source, not just the symptom.
