Dr. Paramjit Singh, a leading orthopedic specialist, performs pelvic acetabulum surgery to repair fractures of the acetabulum, the socket portion of the hip joint. This vital structure connects the pelvis to the femur (thigh bone), forming the ball-and-socket joint essential for hip movement. Fractures in this area often result from high-energy trauma, such as car accidents or falls from significant heights, and can cause severe pain, instability, and difficulty with movement. Due to the intricate anatomy of the pelvis and its proximity to important nerves and blood vessels, this surgery requires Dr. Singh’s extensive expertise in orthopedic trauma care.
During the procedure, Dr. Paramjit Singh realigns and stabilizes the fractured bones to restore the hip joint’s anatomy and function. Depending on the severity of the fracture, he may use metal plates, screws, or rods to secure the bone fragments in place. In some cases, Dr. Singh employs minimally invasive techniques like percutaneous fixation to minimize recovery time and scarring. Proper alignment of the joint is critical to ensure long-term functionality and to prevent complications such as arthritis or limited mobility. After surgery, patients will typically need to avoid bearing weight on the affected hip for several weeks.
Recovery under Dr. Paramjit Singh’s care involves a combination of rest, physical therapy, and gradual weight-bearing to ensure the hip heals properly. Dr. Singh emphasizes the importance of rehabilitation to help patients regain strength, flexibility, and range of motion in the hip. Although full recovery may take several months, many of Dr. Singh’s patients experience significant improvements in mobility and pain relief, enabling them to return to their normal activities with restored function.
