This is the motto which drives a patient to seek medical advice when faced with pain or discomfort in any joint. Joint pain may be trivial and just cause a temporary restraint to a patient’s mobility or at times be severe enough to render a patient disabled.

This is the motto which also drives the musculo-skeletal physicians (Orthopedic surgeons, Rheumatologists and Physiotherapists) to devise treatment modalities that help restore mobility and normal function back to a patient afflicted with joint disease.

The last decade or two has seen a quantum change in the management of patients with disorders of joints especially those involving the hip, knee, and shoulder. Our understanding of various conditions affecting the joints (especially those related to ligaments and cartilages inside the joint) has evolved in a big way. Better imaging modalities like MRI scanning have contributed to this change. Advances in the field of arthroscopic surgery (key-hole surgery of joints) have made a huge difference to the way sports injuries (injuries to ligaments and cartilages inside the joint) are managed and the way sportsmen are rehabilitated back to their sporting activities. Similarly, advances in joint replacement surgery (implanting artificial joints) have revolutionized the treatment of a patient afflicted with severe arthritis.
