1. Arthroscopic Surgery: arthroscopic surgery is the surgery performed by trained and experienced orthopaedic surgeons by using an arthroscope. Arthroscopic surgeries are minimally invasive surgery and are generally used to examine and treat many medical conditions of joints,including torn cartilage or meniscus torn surface (articular) cartilage, ACL reconstruction, and trimming of damaged cartilage.The advantage of arthroscopic surgery over conventional open surgery is reduction in post surgery recovery time and better success rate because of less damage to connective tissues.

2. Knee joint replacement surgery: Knee joint replacement surgery is performed when the conservative treatment fail to give desired results in patients of osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis or psoriatic arthritis.

Knee joint replacement surgery may involve a partial or total knee joint replacement. The diseased or damaged surface and cartilage of knee joint is replaced with metal and plastic implant to restore mobility to knee joint. Knee joint replacement surgery is performed generally for debilitating pain arising because of meniscus tears ,cartilage deformity or degeneration, ligament tears , a sudden bone trauma in young patients and elderly patient suffering from advanced arthritis . Minimally invasive surgeries are performed now for shorter hospital stay and quicker recovery time. Our doctors give the choice of implants to our global guests depending on the age and requirement of patients. Best quality imported implants are used for excellent results.

Certain care is advised for knee joint replacement patients that are a periodic elevation of legs for preventing deep vein thrombosis, lower leg exercises for proper blood circulation, supporting stockings and in certain cases blood thinning medication for a period. Other precautions include prevention of fractures and infections, physiotherapy regimen for attaining complete motion of the joint. Patient has to walk initially with help of walkers or crutches to avoid full body weight on the new joint. Complete recovery from a knee joint surgery and full movement of joint may take up to three months.
