Areas of Expertise of Dr. Kanchan Bhattacharya

Dr. Kanchan Bhattacharya is known to have multiple areas of expertise including

• Hip Replacement: Hip replacement surgery, also known as total hip arthroplasty, may be an option if hip discomfort limits everyday activities and nonsurgical treatments are either ineffective or have not worked. A hip replacement is primarily the removal of the diseased hip joint components by a qualified surgeon and their replacement with parts made typically of ceramic, metal, and extremely hard plastic. This prosthetic joint aids in improving function and easing pain.
• Spinal Decompression Therapy: The purpose of spinal decompression therapy is to relieve leg and/or back pain by extending the spine with a traction table or other comparable motorized apparatus. As opposed to surgical spinal decompression techniques like laminectomy and microdiscectomy, this process is known as nonsurgical decompression therapy. 
• Knee Braces For Osteoarthritis: Knee osteoarthritis might make it impossible for you to move. With knee arthritis, the cartilage that makes your knee joints move smoothly thins and becomes harsher with time. Your joints are changing, which hurts and makes you feel unstable. A knee brace for osteoarthritis might make it easier for you to stay active, whether it's hiking or participating in your favorite activities.
• Hip Resurfacing: Hip resurfacing is an instance of hip replacement surgery. It employs implants to treat osteoarthritis and other disorders that cause hip stiffness and pain. By replacing broken bone and tissue, the implants promote more flexible mobility.
• Arthroscopy: Physicians can examine, diagnose, and treat issues inside a joint via an arthroscopy. It's an outpatient procedure for a minor operation. Your doctor may recommend it if you have inflammation in your joints if your joints have deteriorated over time, or if you have had joint injuries.
• Joint Replacement Surgery: The surgical technique called an arthroplasty replaces a joint partially or completely. Doctors may also refer to it as joint replacement surgery or joint replacement. Your original joint's worn-out or damaged components will be removed by a surgeon and replaced with a prosthesis—an artificial joint made of ceramic, plastic, or metal.

Specializations of Dr. Kanchan Bhattacharya

Dr. Kanchan Bhattacharya has various specializations in the vast field of orthopedics. Some of them are,

• Synovectomy of Hand: It involves surgically removing the inflammatory synovium or joint lining.
• Tenodesis tenolysis: Occasionally, it's called a tendon release. Tenotomy can be performed to treat a variety of tendon problems throughout your body.
• Boutonniere Deformity: This is an illness where the finger is hyperextended at the distal interphalangeal joint (DIP) and flexed at the proximal interphalangeal joint (PIP).
• Wrist Joint Replacement (Wrist Arthroplasty): The procedure known as a wrist replacement involves replacing the radiocarpal joint, which joins your hand and arm. Both discomfort and range of motion are improved by the surgery.
• Neurolysis Procedure: Applying physical or chemical substances to a nerve to cause the targeted nerve fibers to degenerate either temporarily or permanently is known as neurolysis.
• Ganglion Cyst Excision: A physician extracts the cyst stalk or capsule during this process to eradicate the cyst. Surgery may not always prevent ganglion cyst recurrence.
• Shoulder Replacement Surgery: During shoulder replacement surgery, the injured shoulder components are removed and replaced with prosthetics, or artificial shoulder pieces. The choices for therapy are to replace the glenoid, which replaces the ball of the humerus bone, or the ball and socket together.
• Open Reduction of Fracture: Orthopedic physicians perform an open reduction to surgically realign your bones by repositioning the broken fragments of your bone.
• Knee Arthroscopy: A knee arthroscopy is a type of surgery where a tiny camera is used to look into your knee to check for issues.
• Repair of Shoulder Rotator Cuff: Surgery to repair a damaged tendon in the shoulder is known as rotator cuff repair. The procedure can be performed via a large (open) incision or a small one using shoulder arthroscopy.
