Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive technique used to diagnose and treat joint problems.
This advanced procedure involves using a tiny camera called an arthroscope, which is inserted into the joint through a small incision. Arthroscopic surgeries for the knee and shoulder offer numerous benefits, including reduced pain, shorter recovery times, and less scarring compared to traditional open surgeries.
Dr. Nikhilesh Singh’s expertise in knee and shoulder arthroscopic procedures exemplifies this advanced approach in orthopaedic surgery. Specializing in complex surgeries such as ACL and PCL reconstruction as well as rotator cuff repairs he brings precision and skill honed through his fellowship at ZMH in Dubai.
ACL Reconstruction Surgery: The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is a crucial stabilizer in the knee joint. Injuries to the ACL, often caused by sports or traumatic incidents, can lead to instability and loss of function. ACL reconstruction surgery involves replacing the torn ligament with a graft, typically taken from the patient’s tissue or a donor. This minimally invasive procedure helps restore stability and function to the knee, allowing patients to return to their daily activities and sports.
PCL Reconstruction Surgery: The posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) is another crucial ligament in the knee, providing stability and preventing the tibia from moving backward. Although less common than ACL injuries, PCL injuries can significantly impact knee function. PCL reconstruction surgery involves replacing the damaged ligament with a graft, restoring the knee’s stability and strength. This procedure is often recommended for patients with severe PCL injuries or when conservative treatments have failed.
Rotator Cuff Repair: The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons surrounding the shoulder joint, providing stability and enabling a wide range of motion. Tears in the rotator cuff can result from acute injuries or degenerative changes, leading to pain, weakness, and limited mobility. Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair involves reattaching the torn tendons to the bone using specialized surgical techniques. This minimally invasive procedure helps restore shoulder function and alleviate pain, allowing patients to regain their quality of life.
Bankart Lesion Repair: A Bankart lesion is a tear in the labrum, the cartilage surrounding the shoulder socket, often caused by shoulder dislocation. This injury can lead to recurrent shoulder instability and dislocations. Arthroscopic Bankart lesion repair involves reattaching the torn labrum to the shoulder socket, restoring stability, and preventing future dislocations. This procedure is ideal for patients with recurrent shoulder instability, especially those involved in sports or activities requiring overhead movements.
