Dr. Rohan Nambiar also manages orthopaedic concerns involving back pain, sports-related injuries and fractures in adults and children. Treatment may involve non-surgical care, rehabilitation or surgery depending on the nature and severity of the condition.
He practises at Manipal Hospital, Kanakapura Road, Bengaluru, where patients can seek specialist evaluation for musculoskeletal problems and discuss appropriate treatment options.
Knee replacement surgery may be recommended for patients with advanced knee arthritis, persistent pain, stiffness and difficulty walking when non-surgical treatments no longer provide sufficient relief. An orthopaedic specialist assesses joint damage and overall health before recommending surgery.
Hip replacement surgery may help patients with severe hip arthritis or joint damage that affects walking and daily activities. Treatment planning considers pain severity, mobility, imaging findings and general health to determine whether joint replacement is appropriate.
Arthroscopic knee surgery uses a small camera and specialised instruments to examine or treat selected problems inside the knee joint. Depending on the diagnosis, it may be used to manage certain meniscal injuries, loose fragments or other suitable joint conditions.
Anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction may be considered for patients with knee instability following an ACL tear, particularly when returning to sports or physically demanding activities. The treatment plan depends on the injury, activity level, associated damage and rehabilitation goals.
Posterior cruciate ligament injuries can affect knee stability, especially after significant trauma. Selected patients may benefit from reconstruction following a detailed orthopaedic assessment. Treatment decisions depend on the severity of the injury, associated ligament damage and functional limitations.
A meniscus tear can cause knee pain, swelling, catching or restricted movement. Treatment may involve activity modification, physiotherapy and pain management, while selected tears may require arthroscopic repair or removal of damaged tissue based on the tear pattern and symptoms.
Knee preservation procedures aim to maintain the natural knee joint and improve function in suitable patients. Depending on the underlying condition, options may include selected cartilage procedures or corrective bone surgery. A specialist determines suitability based on age, alignment, activity and joint damage.
Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat selected shoulder problems through small incisions. It may be considered for certain ligament, tendon or joint conditions when clinical assessment and imaging indicate that surgery may improve pain or function.
Rotator cuff tears may cause shoulder pain, weakness and difficulty lifting the arm. Depending on the tear and its effect on function, treatment may include physiotherapy or surgical repair. An orthopaedic assessment helps determine the most suitable approach.
Bankart repair is a procedure used to address certain shoulder labral injuries associated with recurrent shoulder dislocation or instability. The specialist evaluates the extent of damage, previous dislocations, activity requirements and imaging findings before recommending surgical stabilisation.
Knee arthritis can cause pain, stiffness, swelling and reduced mobility. Treatment may include exercise, physiotherapy, weight management, medication prescribed by a clinician and selected procedures. Advanced cases may require consideration of joint replacement after individual assessment.
Hip arthritis may cause groin pain, stiffness and difficulty walking or performing everyday activities. Management depends on symptom severity and joint changes and may include activity modification, physiotherapy, medication or hip replacement for suitable patients with advanced disease.
Fracture treatment depends on the bone involved, fracture pattern, displacement and associated injuries. Options may include immobilisation, casting, bracing or surgery to stabilise the bone. Prompt assessment helps guide treatment and supports appropriate healing and rehabilitation.
Sports injuries may affect ligaments, tendons, cartilage, muscles or bones. Assessment identifies the type and severity of injury and guides treatment, which may include rest, physiotherapy, rehabilitation or surgery for selected cases. A gradual return-to-sport plan helps support recovery.
Back pain may arise from muscles, joints, discs or other spinal structures. Evaluation considers symptom duration, movement limitations, medical history and warning signs. Treatment may include activity guidance, physiotherapy and appropriate medication, with further investigations when clinically indicated.
Joint pain can result from arthritis, injury, inflammation or overuse. An orthopaedic assessment considers the affected joint, pain pattern, swelling, movement and relevant imaging to identify possible causes and recommend an individualised treatment plan.
