Arthroscopy for Sports Injuries

Sports injuries can affect athletes and active individuals alike — from ligament tears to cartilage damage, these conditions can cause pain, swelling, and loss of movement. At Padma Clinic & Ortho Center, we specialize in Arthroscopic Surgery for Sports Injuries, a minimally invasive technique that helps diagnose and treat joint problems with precision, minimal pain, and faster recovery.

What is Arthroscopy?

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that allows orthopedic surgeons to see inside a joint using a tiny camera (arthroscope) and treat the injury using small surgical instruments.
Through very small incisions, the surgeon can repair or remove damaged tissue, making this procedure far less invasive than traditional open surgery.

It is most commonly performed on the knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, and elbow joints, which are often affected by sports-related injuries.

Common Sports Injuries Treated with Arthroscopy

At Padma Clinic & Ortho Center, our orthopedic and sports medicine specialists use arthroscopy to diagnose and treat:

ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) and PCL Tears
Meniscus Tears (Cartilage Injuries)
Rotator Cuff Tears (Shoulder Injuries)
Labral Tears (Hip and Shoulder)
Loose Bodies or Bone Fragments in Joints
Synovitis (Joint Lining Inflammation)
Ankle Ligament Injuries
Recurrent Shoulder Dislocation

Whether you are a professional athlete or an active individual, our goal is to help you return to your sport safely and confidently.

Benefits of Arthroscopy for Sports Injuries

Compared to traditional open surgery, arthroscopic surgery offers:
✅ Smaller incisions and minimal scarring
✅ Less post-operative pain
✅ Faster recovery and rehabilitation
✅ Lower risk of infection and complications
✅ Accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment
✅ Early return to sports and physical activities

Arthroscopic Surgery: Step-by-Step

Diagnosis & Planning: Advanced imaging such as MRI and X-rays are used to identify the exact nature of the injury.
Anesthesia: The patient receives spinal or general anesthesia.
Small Incisions: Tiny cuts (about 0.5–1 cm) are made around the joint.
Arthroscope Insertion: A small camera provides a live view of the joint on a monitor.
Repair or Removal: Using miniature surgical tools, the damaged tissue, ligament, or cartilage is repaired or removed.
Closure: The small incisions are closed with minimal stitches, and a sterile dressing is applied.

Recovery and Rehabilitation

Recovery after arthroscopy is typically much quicker than after open surgery. Most patients can return home the same day or within 24 hours.

Initial Phase (1–2 Weeks): Rest, ice, and prescribed pain management.
Rehabilitation (2–6 Weeks): Guided physiotherapy to restore mobility and strength.
Return to Sports (6–12 Weeks): Gradual reintroduction to training or competitive play, depending on the injury.

Our physiotherapy team at Padma Clinic & Ortho Center provides personalized rehabilitation programs to ensure safe and effective recovery.
