Ligament Injuries & Management

Ligaments are fibrous bands that connect bones and stabilize joints. Tears in the knee (ACL, PCL, collateral ligaments), shoulder (labrum), or ankle (ATFL) lead to chronic instability. Dr. Vikrant Sinha Roy offers advanced repair and reconstruction solutions.

Diagnostic & Treatment Pathway

Accurate diagnosis is crucial. Dr. Vikrant combines physical stability tests with high-resolution MRI reviews to determine the exact degree of ligament damage.

Treatment is tailored to the patient's age, goals, and degree of instability. Active individuals with high-grade tears typically undergo arthroscopic reconstructions using autografts to restore joint stability and protect long-term cartilage health. Minor sprains are managed conservatively with structured physical therapy and progressive bracing.

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.

01

Phase 1: Mobilization (Week 1-2)

Focus on wound healing, swelling management, and walking with support.

02

Phase 2: Strengthening (Week 3-6)

Transitioning to walking independently, climbing stairs, and building muscle flexibility.

03

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.
