At Legend Hospitals, we specialize in Arthroscopy and Advanced Orthopedic Procedures for the knee and shoulder, offering minimally invasive solutions for various joint conditions. Our expert orthopedic surgeons use state-of-the-art arthroscopic techniques to diagnose and treat joint problems with precision, minimal pain, and faster recovery times.

What is Arthroscopy?

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to diagnose and treat joint conditions using a small camera (arthroscope) inserted through tiny incisions. This procedure allows for faster healing, less pain, and improved joint function compared to traditional open surgery.

Knee Arthroscopy Procedures

1. ACL & PCL Reconstruction (Ligament Repair)

• Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) and Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) injuries are common among athletes and active individuals.
• Using arthroscopic techniques, we reconstruct torn ligaments with grafts to restore knee stability and function.
• Benefits: Faster recovery, less scarring, and reduced post-surgical complications.

2. Meniscus Repair & Meniscectomy

• The meniscus is a cartilage cushion in the knee that can tear due to injury or aging.
• Meniscus Repair: Suturing the torn cartilage to promote healing.
• Partial Meniscectomy: Removing the damaged portion if repair isn’t possible.
• Outcome: Restores knee function and prevents further joint damage.

3. Cartilage Restoration (Microfracture, Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation – ACI)

• Techniques like microfracture and ACI help regenerate lost cartilage and prevent arthritis.
• Recommended for patients with cartilage damage, osteochondral defects, or early-stage arthritis.

4. Patellar Dislocation & Knee Cap Realignment Surgery

• Arthroscopic realignment of the patella ensures proper knee movement, reducing pain and instability.
• Often required for recurrent dislocations, patellar instability, or kneecap injuries.

Shoulder Arthroscopy Procedures

1. Rotator Cuff Repair

• The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that stabilize the shoulder.
• Arthroscopic repair involves suturing torn tendons back to the bone.
• Benefits: Less pain, faster rehabilitation, and restored shoulder strength.

2. Shoulder Dislocation & Labral Tear Repair (Bankart & SLAP Repair)

• Labral tears (Bankart & SLAP lesions) occur due to trauma, leading to shoulder instability.
• Arthroscopic stabilization procedures restore shoulder function and prevent future dislocations.

3. Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis) Release

• Minimally invasive capsular release surgery relieves stiffness and restores shoulder mobility.
• Ideal for patients unresponsive to physical therapy and medications.

4. Shoulder Impingement & Bone Spur Removal

• Overgrown bone (spurs) can pinch tendons, causing pain and inflammation.
• Arthroscopy removes the bony projections, relieving discomfort and restoring normal movement.

Advanced Orthopedic Procedures at Legend Hospitals

1. Osteotomy for Knee & Shoulder Deformities

• Realignment surgeries to correct bone misalignment, reducing joint stress and preventing arthritis.
• Commonly used for bow-legged (varus) or knock-kneed (valgus) conditions.

2. PRP Therapy (Platelet-Rich Plasma Injection)

• Regenerative therapy using growth factors from the patient’s own blood to promote healing and tissue regeneration.
• Used for tendon injuries, cartilage damage, and mild arthritis.

3. Joint Preservation Surgery

• Techniques that delay or prevent the need for joint replacement by preserving natural joint function.
• Includes cartilage repair, ligament reconstruction, and osteotomy.
