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.

Restore Your Joint Stability
Experiencing joint instability, swelling, or have a confirmed ligament tear? Schedule an evaluation with Dr. Vikrant Sinha Roy.
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.
