Specialty pillarSports injury & arthroscopy
Keyhole (arthroscopic) surgery treats ligament, meniscus, cartilage and tendon injuries through small incisions — restoring stability for athletes and active people of every age.
Knee arthroscopy
- ACL reconstruction — for the most common serious sports injury of the knee, using graft techniques matched to your sport and demands
- PCL, MCL and LCL injuries — including multi-ligament reconstruction after severe injuries
- Meniscus surgery — repairing the meniscus wherever it is repairable, since preserving it protects the knee from future arthritis
- Osteochondral (cartilage) defects — cartilage restoration procedures for focal damage in young knees
- Patella dislocation & trochlear dysplasia — stabilisation (including MPFL reconstruction) for kneecaps that repeatedly dislocate
Shoulder arthroscopy
- Rotator cuff tears — arthroscopic repair for tears causing pain, weakness and night pain
- SLAP and labral tears — injuries of the shoulder's stabilising rim, common in throwers and after falls
- Subacromial impingement — decompression when conservative care fails
Recurrent shoulder dislocation
A shoulder that has dislocated more than once rarely stabilises on its own. Arthroscopic Bankart repair reattaches the torn labrum; where bone loss is significant, the Latarjet procedure transfers a block of bone to rebuild the socket. Choosing correctly between the two — based on CT assessment of bone loss — is what determines success.
Does every ACL tear need surgery?
No. The decision depends on your age, sport, instability episodes and associated injuries. Some patients do well with structured rehabilitation; others risk further meniscus and cartilage damage without reconstruction. The honest answer is case-specific.
How long before return to sport after ACL reconstruction?
Return to competitive sport typically takes the better part of a year, guided by strength and stability testing rather than the calendar alone.
My shoulder dislocates repeatedly. Will physiotherapy fix it?
Physiotherapy strengthens but cannot repair a torn labrum or replace lost bone. Recurrent dislocation in a young active person usually needs surgical stabilisation to prevent progressive damage.
