Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure that orthopaedic surgeons use to visualize and treat problems inside a joint.It’s a minor surgery and is done on an outpatient basis, which means you can go home the same day.

Ligaments are cords of tough, flexible fibrous tissue that connect bones together and provide support to a joint. While ligaments are extremely strong, an awkward stretch or twist can cause a strain injury. With enough force, they can be torn—the most severe ligament injury.

A sports injury involves damage to part of your body due to sports, exercise or athletic activities.

A Total Hip Replacement Surgery (THR) is when the top part of the femur and the socket part of the pelvis is replaced. This is done by placing metal alloy on the top of the femur and in the socket part of the pelvis. A smooth piece of cup-shaped plastic is inserted between this new ball and socket, which allows the ball to move smoothly. Replacement of the worn cartilage with the metal and plastic implant creates a new smooth cushion and a functioning joint.

Total Knee Replacement Surgery (TKR), is a surgical procedure to resurface a knee damaged by arthritis. Metal and plastic parts are used to cap the ends of the bones that form the knee joint, along with the kneecap.

Treatment often involves resetting the bone in place and immobilising it in a cast or splint to give it time to heal. Sometimes, surgery with rods, plates and screws may be required.
