Arthroscopy and sports injuries

Overview

                         There is a constant increase in the need for keyhole surgeries. Arthroscopy and sports injury surgeries are headed by Dr. Shyam Sundhar. We are proud to serve a high volume of patients from the younger age group involved in sports in and around the Erode district. We have performed more than 1500 arthroscopic surgeries. 

We commonly perform arthroscopy surgeries for,

  • Shoulder rotator cuff injuries

  • Shoulder-Hill Sach’s and Bankart’s lesions

  • Shoulder- Sub acromion bursitis or impingement

  • Knee-anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries

  • Knee-posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries

  • Knee- Meniscal injuries- meniscal tear-anterior and posterior horn

  • Knee- Meniscal injuries- complex tears and bucket handle tears

  • Knee- osteochondral injuries of the femoral condyles
