Surgery through a keyhole
Arthroscopy uses a pencil-thin camera and fine instruments passed through two or three small cuts. The surgeon sees the inside of the joint on a high-definition screen and repairs it — without opening the joint. That means less pain, a tiny scar and a quicker return to work and sport.
Knee arthroscopy
- ACL reconstruction — for the ligament torn while twisting in football, basketball, kabaddi or badminton
- Meniscus repair or trimming — for locking, catching and pain on squatting
- PCL and multi-ligament reconstruction after road accidents
- Recurrent knee-cap dislocation — MPFL reconstruction
- Cartilage procedures and removal of loose bodies
Shoulder arthroscopy
- Recurrent shoulder dislocation — Bankart repair
- Rotator cuff tear — repair of the torn tendon with anchors
- Impingement — subacromial decompression
- Stiff frozen shoulder that does not respond to injections and physiotherapy
Recovery after ACL reconstruction
Day 1: walking with a knee brace and walker; straight-leg raises begin.
Week 2–6: full knee bending, walking without support, stationary cycling.
Month 3–4: jogging on a flat surface, strength training.
Month 6–9: sport-specific drills and return to play after a fitness test.
