JESS/LRS Surgery

Advanced JESS and LRS Surgery by Dr. Nikhil S. Charde

Welcome to the JESS/LRS Surgery page at Dr. Nikhil S. Charde’s orthopaedic practice. Dr. Charde, a renowned orthopaedic surgeon in Nagpur, specializes in JESS (Joshi’s External Stabilization System) and LRS (Limb Reconstruction System) surgeries. These advanced techniques are used for complex bone fractures, deformity corrections, and limb lengthening, offering patients effective solutions for enhanced mobility and function.

Understanding JESS and LRS Surgery

JESS (Joshi’s External Stabilization System): JESS is an external fixation system used to treat complex fractures, deformities, and limb length discrepancies. The system involves the application of external rings and rods to stabilize bones, allowing for precise adjustments during the healing process.

LRS (Limb Reconstruction System): LRS is another external fixation device used for bone lengthening and reconstruction. It allows for gradual distraction of bone segments to correct deformities, treat fractures, and lengthen limbs. The system is versatile and can be adjusted throughout the treatment period to ensure optimal results.

Conditions Treated with JESS and LRS Surgery

Dr. Nikhil S. Charde utilizes JESS and LRS surgeries to treat a variety of conditions, including:

  • Complex Fractures: Severe fractures that are difficult to stabilize with internal fixation alone.
  • Limb Length Discrepancies: Differences in limb length due to congenital conditions, injuries, or developmental issues.
  • Bone Deformities: Abnormal bone shapes and alignments that require correction.
  • Nonunions and Malunions: Bones that fail to heal properly or heal in an incorrect position.
  • Post-Traumatic Reconstruction: Rebuilding limbs following severe trauma.

The JESS and LRS Surgery Process

  1. Initial Consultation:
    • Dr. Charde conducts a comprehensive evaluation, including medical history, physical examination, and diagnostic imaging, to assess the condition and determine the most appropriate treatment.
  2. Preoperative Planning:
    • Detailed preoperative planning is essential to ensure the surgery addresses all aspects of the condition. This may include 3D imaging and computer-assisted planning for precise surgical intervention.
  3. Surgical Procedure:
    • The surgery involves the application of the JESS or LRS device to the affected limb. Pins or wires are inserted into the bone and connected to external rings or rods that stabilize the bone segments.
    • JESS: Typically used for fractures and deformities requiring external stabilization.
    • LRS: Often used for bone lengthening and gradual deformity correction.
  4. Adjustment Phase:
    • Gradual adjustments are made to the external fixation device to achieve the desired bone alignment or lengthening. This process is carefully monitored through regular follow-up appointments.
  5. Consolidation Phase:
    • Once the desired correction or lengthening is achieved, the bone is allowed to harden and consolidate. The external device remains in place until the new bone is fully formed and stable.
  6. Rehabilitation and Follow-Up:
    • A tailored rehabilitation program is designed to restore strength, flexibility, and function. Physical therapy plays a crucial role in the recovery process.
    • Regular follow-up appointments are scheduled to monitor healing progress and ensure the best possible outcomes.
