Arthroscopic Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction
ACL reconstruction this probably is one of the most commonly performed arthroscopic surgeries in the world. The anterior cruciate ligament is inside the knee joint is a band of fibrous tissue that helps in stabilizing the knee joint specially resisting the anterior directed forces.
Generally an injury occurs while playing pivoting sports or during motor vehicle accidents. Typically the initial symptoms will be
Pain in the knee joint
Swelling
Difficulty in knee movement

Knee giving way
An untreated ACL injury in younger population subgroup can have devastating consequences including meniscus tears and early development of arthritis .
The treatment of anterior cruciate ligament injuries essentially depends on the activity level and the age of the patient. Generally in sedentary individuals >50 yrswe manage these injuries non- operatively with physical therapy and activity modification. However if younger individuals or individuals who desire to be active and to be involved in pivoting activities a surgical intervention is recommended Anterior cruciate ligament can be reconstructed arthroscopically using the patient’s own tissues; since its minimally invasive keyhole procedure the surgical cuts are small and cosmetic. The recovery is faster with early resumption of activity; generally individuals can start bearing weight same day or the next day of the procedure and may be discharged. Resumption of office work may be done within a week. Postprocedure there is stage wise rehabilitation protocol and individuals are able to resume athletic pursuits

Arthroscopic Repair Hip Labral Injuries
The hip joint labrum is a gasket like tissue around the socket of the hip joint which helps in maintains a watertight seal around the hip joint.Individuals who are involved in activities at extremes of movement like repeated squatting, which happens in case of wicket keepers or gymnastsor people who are into martial arts, the extremes of movement can lead to impingement between the bones of the hip and can lead to a tear of the labrum. Typically individuals will have pain in the hip joint at the extremes of movement and difficulty in squatting.
Non -operative treatment consisting of Physiotherapy proximal muscle strengthening may be attempted initially failing which arthroscopic procedures torepair the labrum may be done. Typically individuals are discharged the next day of the procedure.Sedentary office work can be done by about one week after the procedure and resumption of Athletic activities may be done after 4 months of the procedure again there is a stage rehabilitation protocol after the procedure
