Knee Arthroscopy & Ligament Reconstruction
Regain Your Knee Stability, Strength, and Confidence
The knee is one of the most important joints in your body, allowing you to walk, run, climb, and enjoy an active life. But when injuries happen whether from sports, accidents, or simple wear and tear in active cities like Dubai and Sharjah the knee’s complex structure can easily become unstable or painful.
Knee arthroscopy has revolutionized the way we treat knee injuries. Using small incisions and a tiny camera, Dr. Sudarshan Bhandary, based in the UAE, can diagnose and repair complex knee problems with precision, minimal pain, and faster recovery.
What Is Knee Arthroscopy?
Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique that allows the surgeon to visualize, diagnose, and treat problems inside the knee joint. Instead of large open incisions, tiny keyhole cuts are made to insert a small camera (arthroscope) and surgical instruments.
Benefits of Knee Arthroscopy:
- Less pain
- Smaller scars
- Faster recovery
- Lower risk of complications
Common Knee Conditions Treated with Arthroscopy
Joint replacement may be recommended if you experience:
ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) Tears
- One of the most common sports injuries in Dubai and Sharjah
- Causes knee instability, giving way, and reduced athletic performance
- Can lead to future cartilage damage if untreated
Meniscus Tears
- Often occur with twisting injuries
- Can cause locking, clicking, or swelling in the knee
- Early treatment helps preserve the natural cushioning of the joint
Multi-Ligament Injuries (PCL, MCL, LCL, PLC)
- High-impact injuries may damage multiple ligaments simultaneously
- Require complex reconstruction for full stability
Cartilage Damage (Chondral Lesions)
- Damaged cartilage can cause joint pain and stiffness
- If untreated, may lead to early arthritis
Loose Bodies & Debris Removal
- Floating fragments inside the joint causing mechanical symptoms
ACL Reconstruction: Dr. Bhandary’s Expertise
An ACL tear can feel devastating, especially for athletes in the UAE. Dr. Bhandary performs arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using advanced techniques that restore knee stability while preserving as much of your natural anatomy as possible.
The Procedure Involves:
- Replacing the torn ACL with a new graft
- Precision drilling of bone tunnels using arthroscopic guidance
- Secure fixation of the graft for natural healing
Multi-Ligament Knee Reconstructions
In cases where more than one ligament is torn, Dr. Bhandary uses staged or combined surgical approaches to restore complex knee stability. This requires highly specialized expertise to balance:
- Ligament tension
- Joint alignment
- Future joint preservation
Meniscal Repair & Preservation
The meniscus acts as the knee’s shock absorber. Wherever possible, Dr. Bhandary aims to preserve and repair the meniscus rather than remove it—helping reduce the risk of future arthritis and protecting your long-term knee health.
Cartilage Restoration Procedures
For patients with localized cartilage damage, cartilage restoration procedures can help delay the need for joint replacement. These may include:
- Microfracture Technique
- Autologous cartilage implantation (if applicable)
- Debridement & smoothing of rough surfaces
Benefits of Minimally Invasive Knee Arthroscopy
- Smaller incisions & faster healing
- Less post-operative pain
- Reduced hospital stay
- Quicker return to sports & activities
- Early physical therapy initiation
