Top Treatment Options

Arthroscopic ACL Reconstruction

A minimally invasive surgery to replace a torn Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) in the knee using a graft (from patient or donor) guided by a camera (arthroscope).

Advantages
  • 1. Minimally invasive: Smaller incisions lead to faster recovery and less scarring.
  • 2. Improved knee stability: Restores normal knee function, allowing return to sports.
  • 3. Lower risk of complications: Compared to open surgery, less blood loss and pain.
Limitations
  • 1. Rehabilitation required: Full recovery takes 6–9 months with physical therapy.
  • 2. Re-tear risk: Especially if returning too early to sports or improper rehab.
  • 3. Not suitable for all injuries: Complex ligament injuries may need open surgery.

Rotator Cuff Repair

A surgical procedure to fix torn tendons in the shoulder, usually performed arthroscopically to restore function and reduce pain.

Advantages
  • 1. Pain relief: Significantly reduces chronic shoulder pain.
  • 2. Improved mobility: Restores strength and range of motion in the shoulder.
  • 3. Minimally invasive option available: Leads to faster recovery and smaller scars.
Limitations
  • 1. Lengthy recovery: Full function may take 4–6 months with rehab.
  • 2. Risk of re-tear: Especially in older patients or severe injuries.
  • 3. Not always 100% effective: Some may still experience stiffness or weakness.

Meniscus Repair or Meniscectomy

A surgical procedure to either repair or remove torn cartilage (meniscus) in the knee. Done arthroscopically to relieve pain, improve stability, and restore knee function.

Advantages
  • 1. Quick pain relief: Especially with meniscectomy (removal).
  • 2. Faster recovery with arthroscopy: Minimally invasive technique shortens healing time.
  • 3. Preserves joint function (in repair cases): Retains cushioning and joint longevity.
Limitations
  • 1. Risk of arthritis (after meniscectomy): Removal reduces natural knee cushioning.
  • 2. Repair recovery is longer: May require 3–6 months with limited weight-bearing.
  • 3. Not always repairable: Depends on tear location and blood supply.
