Ligament injuries (ACL, PCL, PLC, MPFL tears in knee, ATFL, CFL tears in ankle etc)
Meniscus tears causing pain or locking of the knee joint
Patellofemoral issues including chondrmalacia, maltracking and patellar dislocations
Shoulder- recurrent dislocations, rotator cuff tears and biceps tendon pathology
Cartilage defects, osteochondral lesions in knee/ankle
Loose bodies inside joints
Synovitis and joint inflammations
Knee: ACL, PCL, PLC, MPFL reconstruction, meniscus repairs, cartilage restoration (microfracture, OATS, BMAC, ACI)
Shoulder: Rotator cuff repair, Bankart repair, SLAP repair, biceps tenodesis, subacromial decompression
Ankle: ATFL, CFL Ligament reconstructions, osteochondral defect treatment
Hip: Labral repair, impingement procedures
Elbow & Wrist: Loose body removal, tennis elbow surgery, debridement, TFCC repair
Sports injuries: PRP injections, tendon repairs, rehab protocols integrated with physiotherapy
Assessment: Clinical examination + x-rays + MRI to confirm diagnosis, and to plan the treatment
Surgery: 2-5 small incisions, procedure done under regional or general anaesthesia
Recovery: admission for one day is usually enough; early movement and light exercises are encouraged the next day after surgery
Rehab: Physiotherapy plan tailored to injury/procedure
Return: Gradual progression back to activity or sport under supervision of the rehab team
Minimally invasive surgery => faster recovery
Excellent outcomes for sports injuries
Day-care / short-stay procedure
Preserves native joint tissue whenever possible
Frequently Asked Questions
Case Studies
Condition:
24-year-old male with a twisting injury to the right knee while playing football two months ago.
Diagnosis:
Complete ACL tear.
Procedure:
Right knee arthroscopy with ACL reconstruction using a hamstring graft.
Outcome:
Restoration of knee stability with immediate improvement in walking. Ability to resume running and sports activities after one year of rehabilitation, as per the ACL rehabilitation protocol.
Condition:
34-year-old male with a twisting injury to the right knee, followed by intermittent locking episodes and difficulty walking.
Procedure:
A horizontal tear of the lateral meniscus was repaired using two all-inside stitches.
Outcome:
Resolution of pain and locking episodes, with prevention of long-term cartilage damage.
Condition:
14-year-old girl with patellar dislocation while running, followed by knee locking and inability to move the joint.
Diagnosis:
Patellar dislocation with osteochondral fracture and associated medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) injury.
Treatment Summary:
Retrieval and fixation of the osteochondral fragment onto the patella, combined with growth-plate sparing MPFL repair.
Outcome:
Restored knee stability, mobility, and function while protecting the growth plate.
Condition:
40-year-old male with progressive knee pain six months after ACL reconstruction surgery.
Diagnosis:
Healed ACL with a large cartilage defect in the weight-bearing area of the knee joint.
Procedure:
BMAC (bone marrow aspirate concentrate) stem cell therapy for cartilage regeneration.
Outcome:
Resolution of knee pain and the sensation of instability. The patient was able to walk pain-free. Cartilage healing was achieved, potentially delaying the progression to knee arthritis.
