ACL Reconstruction Surgery

ACL Revision Surgery is a complex procedure designed to address the failure of a previous ACL reconstruction. When an initial ACL surgery does not yield the desired outcomes—whether due to re-injury, graft failure, or complications—the revision surgery aims to restore knee stability and function. This procedure is typically performed using a new graft to replace the failed one, ensuring the knee can support regular movement and physical activities. Patients who undergo ACL revision surgery often have specific concerns such as knee instability, pain, or a reduced ability to participate in sports.

ACL revision surgery is more intricate than the initial reconstruction, requiring careful evaluation of the previous graft and surrounding tissues. Surgeons must plan the procedure based on individual patient needs and the condition of the knee. With the right approach, this surgery can effectively restore knee stability and improve overall function.

ACL Surgery

ACL surgery is a common procedure to repair or reconstruct a torn anterior cruciate ligament in the knee. It restores knee stability and function, especially for athletes or individuals involved in active lifestyles.
Diagnosis

ACL surgery starts with a thorough assessment to confirm the extent of the ligament damage.

Graft Selection

A suitable graft is chosen, often using the patient’s own tissue or a donor graft for reconstruction.

Arthroscopic Technique

The surgery is minimally invasive, performed using small incisions and an arthroscope for accurate repair.

Graft Placement

The new graft is carefully positioned to restore stability and support to the knee joint.

Recovery Protocol

Post-surgery recovery involves physical therapy to regain full range of motion and strength.

Return to Activity

After sufficient healing, patients gradually return sports and physical activities with reduced risk further injury.

Cartilage Repair

Cartilage repair is a procedure aimed at restoring damaged cartilage in the joints to relieve pain and improve mobility. It is typically performed to treat cartilage defects caused by injury or wear and tear, helping to preserve joint function and prevent further degeneration.

This treatment can involve techniques such as microfracture, osteochondral autograft transplantation, or stem cell therapy, depending on the severity and location of the cartilage damage.

Hip Arthroscopy

ACL Revision Surgery is a complex procedure designed to address the failure of a previous ACL reconstruction. When an initial ACL surgery does not yield the desired outcomes—whether due to re-injury, graft failure, or complications—the revision surgery aims to restore knee stability and function. This procedure is typically performed using a new graft to replace the failed one, ensuring the knee can support regular movement and physical activities. Patients who undergo ACL revision surgery often have specific concerns such as knee instability, pain, or a reduced ability to participate in sports.

Shoulder Arthroscopy

Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat joint issues, such as cartilage damage, inflammation, or ligament tears. Through small incisions, a camera and specialized instruments are inserted to view and treat the joint, leading to faster recovery times and less post-surgical discomfort. This procedure is commonly performed on the knee, shoulder, hip, and ankle joints, allowing for effective treatment with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues.

Knee Arthroscopy

Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat various knee joint issues, including ligament tears, cartilage damage, and inflammation. Through small incisions, a camera and specialized instruments are inserted to perform the procedure, leading to quicker recovery and less post-surgical discomfort. This procedure is commonly performed for conditions such as meniscus tears, ACL injuries, and knee joint cleaning, offering patients an effective solution with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues.
Minimally Invasive Approach

Small incisions and the use of a camera allow for precise treatment with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues.

Meniscus Repair or Removal

The procedure focuses on removing damaged tissue or repairing the meniscus to restore knee stability and reduce pain.

Faster Recovery

Due to its minimally invasive nature, patients often experience a quicker recovery time and less post-surgical discomfort.

Knee Meniscectomy or Arthroscopy

Knee meniscectomy or arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat meniscus tears in the knee joint. This technique involves using small incisions to insert a camera and surgical instruments, allowing the surgeon to remove or repair the damaged meniscus, thereby improving knee function and reducing pain.

By preserving as much of the meniscus as possible, the procedure helps to maintain joint stability and prevent long-term arthritis. It is commonly performed on patients with meniscus injuries from sports or aging-related wear and tear.

Knee Repair or Reconstruction (Including ACL)

Knee injuries, especially ACL tears, can affect mobility and stability. Advanced surgical techniques restore function and help patients return to an active lifestyle.
Enhanced Stability

Restores knee strength and prevents further joint damage. Improves mobility for daily activities and sports. Supports long-term joint health and function.

Long-Term Relief

Alleviates pain and enhances joint performance. Lowers the risk of future knee injuries. Helps maintain an active and pain-free lifestyle.

Minimally Invasive

Uses advanced arthroscopic techniques for precision. Reduces scarring and post-surgery discomfort. Ensures quicker healing and shorter recovery time.

Fracture Care

Fracture care is performed to treat injuries, degeneration, or structural issues affecting the bones and joint. Whether due to sports injuries, arthritis, or other conditions, surgical intervention can help restore mobility, reduce pain, and improve overall function. Procedures range from minimally invasive arthroscopy to total knee replacement, depending on the severity of the condition. With advanced surgical techniques, patients can experience faster recovery times, improved joint stability, and long-term relief. Consulting with an orthopedic specialist helps determine the best treatment approach for optimal knee health and mobility.

Ligament Repair Surgery

Ligament repair surgery restores torn or damaged ligaments, improving joint stability and mobility. Using minimally invasive techniques, it promotes faster healing and reduces pain. With proper rehabilitation, patients can return to daily activities and sports safely.

MPFL Reconstruction

MPFL reconstruction restores knee stability by replacing the damaged ligament with a graft. This procedure prevents recurrent patellar dislocations and improves function. With minimally invasive techniques, patients experience reduced pain and faster recovery.

Meniscus Surgery

Meniscus surgery repairs or removes damaged cartilage in the knee to restore mobility. Minimally invasive techniques help reduce pain and speed up recovery. This procedure improves knee stability and prevents further joint damage.

Pectoralis Major Tendon Repair Surgery

Pectoralis major tendon repair surgery restores strength and function after a tendon tear. This injury often occurs due to heavy lifting or trauma, leading to pain and weakness in the chest and arm. During the procedure, the torn tendon is reattached to the bone using sutures or anchors. Minimally invasive techniques may be used to promote faster healing and reduce scarring. Proper rehabilitation is essential for regaining mobility and muscle strength. This surgery helps patients return to daily activities and sports with improved stability.

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy

Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) therapy is a regenerative treatment that uses the patient’s own blood to promote healing. The procedure involves drawing blood, processing it to concentrate platelets, and injecting the PRP into the injured area. PRP is rich in growth factors, which help reduce inflammation, accelerate tissue repair, and improve recovery. It is commonly used for joint pain, tendon injuries, and muscle healing, offering a natural and minimally invasive solution for pain relief and regeneration

Rotator Cuff Repair Surgery

Rotator cuff repair surgery restores the function and stability of the shoulder after a tendon tear. This procedure involves reattaching the torn rotator cuff tendon to the bone using sutures or anchors. Minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques help reduce pain, speed up recovery, and improve shoulder mobility. Proper rehabilitation is essential for regaining strength and preventing future injuries.

Shoulder Arthroscopy

Shoulder arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat shoulder joint issues. A small camera (arthroscope) is inserted through tiny incisions, allowing surgeons to repair damaged ligaments, tendons, or cartilage with precision. This technique reduces pain, minimizes scarring, and speeds up recovery, helping patients regain mobility and function.

Shoulder Repair or Reconstruction

Shoulder repair or reconstruction restores stability and function in cases of severe injury or joint damage. Depending on the condition, the procedure may involve ligament, tendon, or joint reconstruction using sutures, grafts, or implants.
