They include-
Arhtroscopic
meniscal surgery
Meniscal tears are common during sports,
falls, road traffic accidents etc. Pain and feeling of
locking are the commonest symptoms. Arthroscopic meniscal
surgery includes trimming of torn irreparable edges or
repair of healthy repairable menisci. It?s a day care
surgery and is done by thin 4.5mm endoscopes with sutureless
techniques. Patients can go back home the same day and enjoy
all the freedom of a healthy knee.
Arthroscopic ligament surgery
Sudden twisting injury during sports,
fall or accidents may cause ligament tears which may or may
not heal with rehabilitation. They lead to feeling of
instability and lack of power and can lead to repeated
trauma to the knee leading to fast wear and tear of the
knee.
When rehabilitation doesn?t work
arthroscopic Ligament reconstruction is the best and
fastest way to get back to normal life. Ligaments can be
reconstructed with small incisions and knee can be
accurately restored to normalcy. 1-2 days of hospital stay
and a quick rehabilitation can get you back to all your
natural activities.
Realignment surgery
Those people who have a deformed or
curved leg since birth or after injury should get their limb
realigned so that it does not wear down and predispose to
arthritis. It can be done both in young and old people and
has very good results as the natural knee is preserved.
Patients after undergoing this surgery can do almost
everything that they used to do in the past. There in no
implant related issues like restricted activities etc. both
knock knees and bow legs can be managed with this technique.
The modern surgery helps in achieving this by small incision
surgery which is accurate as it is image guided.
Cartilage transplant
For small areas of cartilage injuries
which are mostly due to injury cartilage transplant is a
good option. Natural cartilage from the same knee can be
transplanted by OATS technique, synthetic material like
truefit can be used to fill these defects or tissue culture
using ACT can be done to fill these defects. They are
natural procedures and selected as per patient and disease .
