Medical and surgical management of rheumatoid and other inflammatory joint diseases to preserve function and reduce pain.
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks the synovial lining of joints, causing chronic inflammation, pain, and progressive joint destruction. Unlike osteoarthritis, RA can affect people of any age and involves multiple joints simultaneously.
At Arun Ortho, we work closely with rheumatologists to provide an integrated approach — combining disease-modifying medications with orthopaedic interventions such as synovectomy and joint reconstruction when needed. Early, aggressive treatment prevents permanent joint damage.
Autoimmune joint inflammation causing symmetric joint swelling, morning stiffness, and gradual erosion.
Arthritis associated with psoriasis skin disease, causing asymmetric joint involvement and nail changes.
Inflammatory spine disease causing progressive spinal fusion, back pain, and reduced mobility.
Joint inflammation triggered by infection elsewhere in the body, causing acute asymmetric arthritis.
Joint inflammation as part of systemic lupus erythematosus requiring careful systemic management.
Crystal deposition disease causing acute severe joint pain, typically in the big toe, ankle, or knee.
RF, anti-CCP, ESR, CRP, ANA, and X-rays/MRI to establish diagnosis, activity, and damage score.
Coordinated care with our rheumatology partners for systemic disease assessment and medication initiation.
DMARDs (methotrexate, hydroxychloroquine), biologics (TNF inhibitors, IL-6 inhibitors), and JAK inhibitors.
Occupational therapy, adaptive devices, splinting, and targeted physiotherapy to preserve joint function.
Arthroscopic synovectomy, tendon repair, or joint replacement for structural damage unresponsive to medication.
