Surgical vs. Non-Surgical Management
While some low-demand patients can be managed in a cast (non-operatively), active individuals and athletes benefit significantly from surgical repair. Non-operative management is associated with a higher risk of re-rupture and chronic tendon elongation (weakness).
Dr. Vikrant utilizes minimally invasive or open repair techniques depending on the tear location and tissue quality. The torn tendon ends are carefully aligned and secured using high-strength locking sutures. Following surgery, a structured, early-mobilization protocol is initiated to prevent tendon stiffness and accelerate recovery.

Pre-Operative Preparation & Clinical Evaluation
A successful orthopaedic outcome starts with meticulous planning. Prior to scheduling any procedure, patients undergo a thorough medical evaluation, including cardiac clearances, complete blood profiles, and tailored joint imaging.
3D Anatomical Mapping
CT scans or high-res MRIs are loaded into the computer software to pre-plan bone cuts and implant size before entering the theatre.
Pre-Hab Exercises
Mild quadriceps and core strengthening exercises are recommended to build muscle tone, which speeds up postoperative recovery.
Post-Operative Rehabilitation & Recovery Pathways
Rehabilitation is a critical phase of recovery. Following surgery, Dr. Vikrant Sinha Roy's team coordinates with clinical physiotherapists to execute structured post-op exercises, facilitating joint mobilization, restoring gait patterns, and strengthening surrounding muscle groups.
Phase 1: Mobilization (Week 1-2)
Focus on wound healing, swelling management, and walking with support.
Phase 2: Strengthening (Week 3-6)
Transitioning to walking independently, climbing stairs, and building muscle flexibility.
Phase 3: Functional Restoration (Week 6+)
Returning to normal daily work, traveling, and light recreational sports.
Patient Success Stories
"As a football player, my ACL tear was a career threat. Dr. Vikrant performed an arthroscopic ACL reconstruction. He reviewed my MRI within 48 hours and scheduled surgery immediately. I am back to playing sports now."

Sports Injury & Arthroscopy FAQs
Light running and straight-line jogging start around 3 months. Agility and sport-specific exercises start around 6 months, and return to competitive pivoting sports is recommended between 9 to 12 months post-op.
Arthroscopic keyhole surgery uses a small camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments inserted through tiny portal incisions, resulting in minimal muscle damage, less scarring, and rapid healing.
