Kauvery Hospital Alwarpet Performs Complex Hip Fracture Surgery Using Advanced O-Arm Technology for woman aged 33

Chennai, 27^th October 2025 :  Kauvery Hospital Alwarpet has successfully treated a woman aged 33, with a highly complex acetabular (hip socket) fracture using advanced O-arm imaging technology. The patient, who had sustained multiple injuries and undergone several prior procedures, required delicate surgical intervention due to the complexity of her condition.

The orthopaedic team, led by Dr. Singaravadivelu, Senior Consultant – Orthopaedic Surgery, carried out the procedure by reducing and fixing the fracture from the front. The O-arm system guided the placement of screws into the front portion of the hip joint, enabling the team to work with confidence and precision. This approach reduced the duration of surgery, minimized tissue trauma, lowered radiation exposure, and supported faster recovery. The patient made a steady recovery and regained mobility soon after the operation.

The O-arm system is an advanced surgical imaging platform that provides surgeons with detailed, three-dimensional images and 360-degree real-time guidance during procedures. While conventional C-arm technology is adequate for routine fractures, its two-dimensional imaging often may not provide complete information and a 3D orientation. Even small errors in screw placement in these areas can damage nerves, blood vessels, or vital organs. By offering a comprehensive view of bone structures and implant positioning, the O-arm helps surgeons overcome these challenges with greater accuracy and safety.
