Ageing is a natural process that brings various health challenges, mainly related to the musculoskeletal system. As people age, their bones, joints, and muscles change, leading to conditions requiring specialised care. Geriatric orthopedics is a branch of medicine dedicated to diagnosing, treating, and managing musculoskeletal issues in older adults. At Nulife Hospital, Delhi, we understand the unique needs of our elderly patients and offer comprehensive orthopedic care to help them maintain mobility, independence, and quality of life.

Geriatric Orthopaedic Conditions

Geriatric orthopedics addresses a variety of conditions that commonly affect older adults, including:

  • Osteoporosis: A condition indicated by weakened bones, making them more susceptible to fractures. This is particularly concerning in the elderly, as even minor falls can lead to significant injuries.
  • Osteoarthritis: A degenerative joint disease generating pain, swelling, and reduced joint motion. It commonly impacts the knees, hips, and hands, challenging everyday activities.
  • Hip Fractures Often result from falls and can significantly impact mobility and independence, requiring surgical intervention and extensive rehabilitation.
  • Spinal Disorders: Includes conditions like spinal stenosis and degenerative disc disease, which can force chronic back pain and mobility issues, severely impacting quality of life.
  • Rheumatoid Arthritis: An autoimmune disorder that guides to joint inflammation, causing pain and deformity, often requiring long-term management strategies.
  • Rotator Cuff Tears: Age-related degeneration can cause tears in the shoulder tendons, leading to pain and limited function. These are often treated with both surgical and non-surgical methods.
  • Bursitis and Tendinitis are inflammation of the bursae or tendons, often resulting from repetitive motion or overuse. They can be particularly debilitating for elderly patients.
