Arthroscopy & Sports Medicine
Procedures include ACL reconstruction, PCL reconstruction, Collateral ligament reconstruction, Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction, Revision ACL reconstruction and Osteochondral Autologous Transfer Surgery (OATS).
ACL reconstruction:
ACL reconstruction is a surgical procedure to repair a torn or ruptured anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) in the knee. The ACL is a crucial ligament that helps stabilise the knee joint and is frequently injured during sports or traumatic accidents. It aims to restore knee stability and function, preventing long-term joint damage.
PCL reconstruction
PCL reconstruction is a surgical procedure to repair a damaged or torn posterior cruciate ligament in the knee. The PCL is one of the four major ligaments in the knee that stabilises the joint and prevents backward movement of the tibia relative to the femur.
Collateral ligament reconstruction
Collateral ligament reconstruction is a surgical procedure performed to repair or reconstruct one of the collateral ligaments in the knee joint. The collateral ligaments are responsible for stabilising the knee and preventing excessive side-to-side movement.
Medial patellofemoral ligament (MPFL) reconstruction:
MPFL reconstruction is a surgical procedure to repair or reconstruct the medial patellofemoral ligament, stabilising the kneecap. It's done when the ligament is damaged due to a traumatic injury or chronic instability.
Revision ACL reconstruction
Revision ACL reconstruction is a surgical procedure performed to repair or reconstruct a previously failed ACL graft. It may be necessary to restore knee stability and function when the initial reconstruction fails or if there are complications or graft failure.
Osteochondral Autologous Transfer Surgery (OATS):
The surgical procedure known as Osteochondral Autologous Transfer Surgery (OATS) is used to treat isolated cartilage defects that are typically no larger than 10 to 20 mm. cartilage plugs extracted from non-weight-bearing parts of the joint are moved into the injured joint area during the procedure.
