Arthroscopic Ligament Repair

Advanced Treatment Overview

Arthroscopy may be considered for selected ACL, PCL and meniscus injuries of the knee, as well as rotator cuff tears, recurrent shoulder instability, Bankart lesions, bursitis and other suitable shoulder conditions.

Principle

ACL, PCL and meniscus repairs in the knee are performed using keyhole arthroscopic techniques without fully exposing the knee joint. Selected shoulder procedures—including rotator cuff repair, Bankart repair and bursectomy—can also be performed arthroscopically without fully exposing the shoulder joint.

Advantages

• Very small keyhole incisions, approximately 0.5 cm
• Negligible to minimal intraoperative blood loss in many arthroscopic procedures
• Reduced surgical load and operative time in suitable cases
• Supports early post-operative mobilization according to the repair performed and rehabilitation protocol
• Discharge may be possible within 24 hours in suitable cases based on the procedure and recovery

Consultation and procedure selection depend on clinical examination, imaging, overall health and individual patient suitability.
