The Apollo Institutes of Orthopedics is a pioneering bone and joint centre in the country. The Institute provides the most advanced orthopaedic treatments and surgical advancements on par with the world's best centres. Apollo incorporates the most recent arthroscopic and reconstructive spinal techniques, such as Kyphoplasty. The most advanced medical equipment and a team of highly experienced surgeons are supported by computer navigation and imaging equipment with robotically-assisted technology.

Apollo surgeons treat the deformity with cutting-edge technology and fuse the bones to prevent further curve progression. Staples on the convex side of the curve can be used to correct and maintain the curve until the patient reaches skeletal maturity. Because the staples allow for differential growth, the stapled side grows slower than the concave side, allowing the child to correct the curve as he or she grows. At Apollo, a titanium-based alloy known as nitinol is used as a spinal implant. Shape Memory Alloy (SMA) staples were invented by Apollo India. At Apollo Hospitals, senior spine surgeon Dr. Sajan Hegde and his team performed this novel procedure for the first time in India.
