Sports Injury & Knee Arthroscopy
Sports Injury & Knee Arthroscopy focuses on diagnosis and treatment of ligament, meniscus, and cartilage problems affecting the knee. Arthroscopic procedures use small incisions and specialized instruments to address selected injuries. Treatment may include ACL or PCL reconstruction, multi-ligament knee reconstruction, meniscus repair, cartilage procedures, and structured sports injury rehabilitation.

ACL Reconstruction
ACL Reconstruction is a surgical treatment for selected patients with significant anterior cruciate ligament tears, particularly when instability affects daily activities or sports participation. Arthroscopic ACL surgery uses graft tissue to reconstruct the injured ligament. Rehabilitation is an important part of recovery and focuses on restoring strength, stability, movement, and functional performance.
PCL Reconstruction
PCL Reconstruction may be considered for patients with significant posterior cruciate ligament injury causing persistent instability or functional limitations. Treatment depends on injury severity, associated ligament damage, and patient activity level. When surgery is indicated, arthroscopic reconstruction and structured rehabilitation can help restore knee stability and support a gradual return to physical activity.
Multi-Ligament Knee Reconstruction
Multi-Ligament Knee Reconstruction is used for complex injuries involving two or more major knee ligaments, often following high-energy trauma or sports injuries. Care requires detailed assessment of ligament stability, associated injuries, and neurovascular status. Surgical planning may involve staged or combined reconstruction, followed by carefully supervised rehabilitation and functional recovery.
Meniscus Repair & Preservation
Meniscus Repair & Preservation aims to retain as much healthy meniscal tissue as possible when a repairable tear is identified. The meniscus contributes to load distribution and knee stability. Arthroscopic Meniscus Surgery may use different repair techniques depending on tear pattern, location, tissue quality, and associated injuries.
MCL Reconstruction
MCL Reconstruction may be considered when a severe medial collateral ligament injury causes persistent instability despite appropriate non-surgical treatment. Assessment considers the extent of ligament damage and associated knee injuries. When reconstruction is required, surgery may be combined with treatment of other ligament injuries, followed by progressive rehabilitation to restore stability and function.
LCL Reconstruction
LCL Reconstruction addresses significant lateral collateral ligament injuries that result in persistent instability or functional problems. These injuries may occur with other ligament damage, requiring comprehensive assessment. Surgical planning is individualized according to the injury pattern. Postoperative rehabilitation focuses on protecting the reconstruction while progressively restoring knee movement, strength, and stability.
Cartilage Restoration Procedures
Cartilage Restoration Procedures are considered for selected patients with focal cartilage damage rather than widespread advanced arthritis. Treatment options depend on lesion size, location, patient age, activity level, and associated conditions. Appropriate cartilage procedures aim to preserve joint function and may be combined with other arthroscopic or alignment-related treatments when indicated.
