Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure in which an arthroscope is inserted into a joint. Arthroscopy is a term that comes from two Greek words, arthro-, meaning joint, and -skopein, meaning to examine.
The benefits of arthroscopy involve smaller incisions, faster healing, a more rapid recovery, and less scarring. Arthroscopic surgical procedures are often performed on an outpatient basis and the patient is able to return home on the same day. |

The anterior cruciate ligament is one of the major stabilizing ligaments in the knee. It is a strong rope like structure located in the centre of the knee running from the femur to the tibia. When this ligament tears unfortunately it doesn't heal and often leads to the feeling of instability in the knee.
ACL reconstruction is a commonly performed surgical procedure and with recent advances in arthroscopic surgery can now be performed with minimal incisions... |

Cartilage restoration is the technique of stimulating the growth of damaged cartilage. Cartilage restoration delays or prevents the onset of arthritis. Cartilage is the smooth and flexible tissue covering the ends of the bones at the site of joints.
Injuries may damage the cartilage and as the cartilage does not heal on its own, surgical procedures are essential to restore the damaged cartilage. |

| A shoulder arthroscopy involves looking inside the joint with a thin camera (arthroscope). The arthroscope is placed inside the joint through a small incision and the picture is shown on a TV screen. Fluid is gently pumped into the joint to fill the space to make it easier to see. |

| Tendons connect muscle to bone and ligaments connect bone to bone. We need these tendons and ligaments to maintain healthy, pain free movement. Tendons and ligaments can become torn and or worn down, leading to pain and physical dysfunction. PRP is an injection of platelets (which have a high concentration of growth factors) into a muscle, tendon or ligament tear to help the body start the natural healing. |
