Orthopaedic & Trauma Care in Sivakasi
Bone and joint problems can change the simplest parts of everyday life — walking, climbing stairs, working, sleeping or getting out of bed. Sruthi Hospital provides orthopaedic evaluation and treatment for injuries, joint problems, spine conditions and other musculoskeletal concerns in Sivakasi.
Orthopaedic problems are not limited to fractures.
They can involve bones, joints, muscles, ligaments, tendons and the spine. Some conditions appear suddenly after an accident, while others develop slowly through age, wear and repeated strain. At Sruthi Hospital, orthopaedic care includes assessment and treatment for a broad range of musculoskeletal problems, with the hospital's clinical material highlighting trauma surgery, joint replacement, spine care and other orthopaedic procedures.
The goal of orthopaedic treatment is not simply to perform a procedure. It is to understand what is causing the problem, evaluate it properly and choose the treatment that best supports the patient's recovery and return to function.

Clinical care across orthopaedic conditions.
Trauma & Fracture Care
Accidents can result in fractures, dislocations, ligament injuries and other musculoskeletal trauma. Prompt assessment matters because the type and location of an injury can influence the appropriate treatment approach. The hospital's orthopaedic material specifically highlights accidental trauma and trauma surgery as areas of care.
Knee Conditions & Knee Replacement
Persistent knee pain can affect walking, work and daily independence. Depending on the condition, treatment may involve medication, activity modification, physiotherapy, injections or surgical management. For appropriately selected patients with advanced joint damage, knee replacement may be considered by the treating orthopaedic surgeon.
Back Pain & Spine Conditions
Back pain can affect much more than the back — it interferes with work, sleep, walking and everyday activities. Conditions treated include back pain, slipped disc, spondylitis, sciatica and neck pain. Proper assessment determines the cause before a treatment pathway is considered.
Spondylitis & Disc Conditions
Spondylitis is an inflammatory condition affecting the spine. Slipped discs occur when the soft material inside a spinal disc pushes outward, sometimes pressing on a nerve. Both conditions deserve careful clinical evaluation before treatment decisions are made.
Sciatica & Nerve-Related Pain
Sciatica refers to pain that radiates along the path of the sciatic nerve — from the lower back through the hip and down the leg. It may be caused by a herniated disc, bone spur or spinal narrowing. Clinical evaluation helps identify the cause and guide appropriate treatment.
Hand & Microsurgery
Problems affecting the hand can interfere with work, grip, movement and independence. Hand and microsurgery is identified among Dr. Manikandan's areas of orthopaedic practice, covering a range of hand and upper limb conditions.
Paediatric Orthopaedic Surgery
Children's bones and joints require consideration of age, growth and development. Paediatric orthopaedic surgery is identified in the hospital's supplied material as an area of practice within the orthopaedic department.
General Orthopaedic Surgery
Beyond the specific areas listed, orthopaedic consultation at Sruthi Hospital covers a broad range of musculoskeletal problems. The right starting point is a proper clinical evaluation to understand the condition before any treatment decision is made.
Back pain is common. Living with it every day should not be accepted as normal.
Back and neck problems can affect work, sleep, walking, exercise and even routine household activities. Understanding the source of the pain is the first step toward appropriate treatment.
Consider consulting an orthopaedic specialist when back or neck pain continues for an extended period, repeatedly returns, interferes with sleep, affects walking or normal movement, radiates into an arm or leg, or follows an injury.
Back Pain
Persistent or recurring lower back pain may arise from muscles, joints, discs or degenerative changes. Duration, pattern and any associated symptoms help guide assessment.
Slipped Disc
A disc herniation occurs when the inner material of a spinal disc pushes through the outer layer, potentially pressing on nearby nerves. It can cause localised or radiating pain.
Spondylitis
Spondylitis is an inflammatory condition affecting the vertebrae. It can cause pain, stiffness and reduced spinal mobility, and requires appropriate diagnosis before management.
Sciatica
Pain that travels along the sciatic nerve path — often from the lower back into one leg. It may be associated with numbness, tingling or weakness in the leg.
Neck Pain
Neck pain may arise from muscle strain, cervical disc problems, nerve involvement or degenerative changes. When persistent or radiating, clinical evaluation is advisable.
Dr. J. Manikandan — Consultant Orthopaedic Surgeon
For patients dealing with pain, injury or reduced mobility, orthopaedic treatment is ultimately about getting back to life. Dr. J. Manikandan's practice at Sruthi Hospital focuses on orthopaedic and trauma-related conditions, including joint problems, injuries and spine-related concerns.
The hospital's supplied clinical material highlights his work across orthopaedic surgery, spine surgery, knee replacement, accidental trauma, hand and microsurgery and paediatric orthopaedic surgery.
Areas of Practice
When orthopaedic treatment requires surgery.
The hospital's supplied material includes a dedicated operating theatre, surgical equipment and sterilisation facilities. For orthopaedic patients requiring surgical management, this environment supports procedures from trauma surgery to joint replacement and spine surgery.
Patients considering surgery should receive full preparation instructions, understand the planned procedure, discuss risks with the treating doctor and arrange post-operative monitoring, rehabilitation and follow-up.
