Skeletal Realignment And Stabilization
Skeletal realignment and stabilization is a surgical procedure used to correct misaligned bones and restore structural stability. It is commonly performed for fractures, deformities, joint instability, or trauma-related injuries. The aim is to restore proper bone alignment, improve function, reduce pain, and support healing.
This procedure involves repositioning bones into their correct anatomical position and securing them using medical devices such as plates, screws, rods, or external fixators. It may be recommended in cases of bone fractures, congenital deformities, malunion or non-union of bones, joint instability, and post-traumatic deformities.
Depending on the condition, different surgical techniques may be used. Internal fixation uses plates, screws, or rods placed inside the body and is commonly used for fractures and deformity correction. External fixation uses an external metal frame connected to the bone and is usually used in complex or open fractures. Osteotomy involves surgical cutting and repositioning of bone to correct deformity and improve alignment.
Skeletal realignment and stabilization may be recommended for patients with displaced or complex fractures, bone deformities affecting function, joint instability, failed healing after a previous fracture, or severe trauma-related injuries. A specialist evaluation helps determine the most suitable treatment approach.
The benefits of this procedure include restoration of normal bone alignment, improved mobility and function, reduced pain, better healing, and lower risk of long-term complications.
Before surgery, the patient undergoes clinical assessment and imaging such as X-rays, CT scans, or MRI. During the procedure, anesthesia is administered, the bones are realigned, and stabilization devices are placed. After surgery, the patient is monitored closely, pain is managed, and support such as a cast, brace, or rehabilitation plan may be advised.
Recovery depends on the severity of the condition and the type of procedure performed. Physiotherapy often plays an important role in regaining mobility, strength, and function. Follow-up visits and imaging help monitor healing and recovery progress.
As with any surgical procedure, there may be risks such as infection, delayed healing, implant-related issues, nerve or blood vessel injury, or joint stiffness. Careful surgical planning, expert technique, and proper follow-up help reduce these risks.
At Moolchand, skeletal realignment and stabilization is performed by experienced orthopedic specialists using advanced surgical techniques, modern implants, and a patient-focused approach to support safe treatment and recovery.

Micro discectomy (laparoscopic)
Micro discectomy is a minimally invasive spinal surgical procedure using an operating microscope or endoscope to remove a herniated disc fragment compressing a spinal nerve root, providing rapid relief from sciatica, leg pain, and neurological symptoms with minimal muscle disruption and faster recovery.
Infection control and stabilization
Infection control and stabilization encompasses the medical protocols and interventions used to identify, contain, and treat serious infections while stabilizing the patient's vital parameters to prevent progression to sepsis, organ failure, and life-threatening complications.
Limb lengthening by Ilizarov Technique
Ligation of Intersphincteric Fistula Tract (LIFT) is a sphincter-preserving surgical procedure for treating trans-sphincteric anal fistulas by ligating and dividing the fistula tract in the intersphincteric plane, achieving high cure rates while protecting anal sphincter function and continence.
Multi ligament reconstruction
Multi-ligament reconstruction is a complex knee surgery to reconstruct two or more torn ligaments simultaneously following a high-energy knee dislocation or severe ligamentous injury, restoring knee stability, alignment, and function.
Patellofemoral instability surgery
Patellofemoral instability surgery corrects recurrent patellar dislocation or subluxation — where the kneecap repeatedly slips out of its groove — through ligament reconstruction, tibial tubercle transfer, or trochleoplasty, restoring kneecap alignment and preventing further instability.
Skeletal realignment and stabilization
Skeletal realignment and stabilization helps correct misaligned bones, restore stability, reduce pain, and support proper healing after fractures, deformities, or trauma.
Post-surgical
Post-surgical care at Moolchand Hospital encompasses comprehensive recovery support including pain management, wound care, physiotherapy, nutritional support, and complication prevention to ensure every surgical patient achieves a safe, smooth, and complete recovery.
