As we age, bones become more fragile, joints stiffen, and mobility often declines. Geriatric orthopaedics is a specialized field focused on diagnosing, treating, and preventing musculoskeletal problems in older adults. Dr. Yogish Vijaya Kumar brings a patient-centered, gentle, and thoughtful approach to orthopaedic care for the elderly — aiming not just for recovery, but for restoring independence and quality of life.

Common Conditions Treated

With age, bones and joints undergo degenerative changes, leading to a variety of orthopaedic concerns. Dr. Yogish is experienced in managing:

• Osteoarthritis (knee, hip, shoulder)

• Osteoporosis and fragility fractures

• Hip fractures and femoral neck fractures

• Compression fractures of the spine

• Degenerative spinal conditions

• Frozen shoulder, rotator cuff tears

• Joint stiffness and mobility issues

• Balance problems and fall-related injuries

• Post-surgical rehabilitation in elderly patients

His holistic approach ensures medical conditions like diabetes, hypertension, or heart disease are carefully considered during treatment planning.

Treatment Approach

Elderly patients often require a delicate balance of medical management and orthopaedic care. Dr. Yogish’s approach includes:

• Comprehensive evaluation of bone health, fall risk, and joint function

• Non-surgical treatment options, including medications, physiotherapy, assistive devices, and injections (e.g., PRP, viscosupplementation)

• Minimally invasive surgeries when needed, with a focus on fast recovery and low complication rates

• Advanced fracture fixation techniques suited for osteoporotic bone

• Customized rehabilitation plans to restore function and prevent further injury
