Ligament Injuries & Arthroscopic Surgeries

Advanced Keyhole Surgery for Faster Recovery and Lasting Results

Ligament injuries — especially of the knee, shoulder, and ankle — are among the most common sports and trauma-related orthopedic problems. When left untreated, these injuries can lead to instability, chronic pain, and restricted movement. Arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery offers a minimally invasive solution to diagnose and treat these conditions with precision, allowing patients to return to normal activity faster.

For patients seeking the Best Orthopedic Surgeon in Kolkata or the Best Robotic Joint Replacement Surgeon in Kolkata, Dr. Soham Mandal provides expert care in advanced arthroscopic and ligament reconstruction surgeries, combining modern technology with compassionate care.

What Are Ligament Injuries?

Ligaments are strong, fibrous tissues that connect bones and stabilize joints. They can be stretched or torn due to sports injuries, accidents, or repetitive stress.
Common ligament injuries include:

  • ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) Tear – Common in athletes; causes knee instability.

  • PCL (Posterior Cruciate Ligament) Tear – Usually caused by high-impact trauma.

  • MCL/LCL Injuries – Affect the inner or outer stability of the knee.

  • Shoulder Labrum Tears & Rotator Cuff Injuries – Result in pain and restricted shoulder movement.

  • Ankle Ligament Tears – Common in twisting injuries or falls.

Symptoms of Ligament Injury

  • Pain and swelling around the joint

  • Joint instability or “giving way”

  • Limited range of motion

  • Popping sound at the time of injury

  • Difficulty bearing weight or performing daily activities

Arthroscopic Surgery – Precision Healing Through Small Incisions

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique that uses a small camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments inserted through keyhole-sized incisions. This approach allows for accurate diagnosis and treatment of ligament and joint injuries with minimal tissue damage.

Common Arthroscopic Procedures

  • ACL / PCL Reconstruction – Using grafts to restore knee stability.

  • Meniscus Repair – Preserving or trimming damaged knee cartilage.

  • Shoulder Arthroscopy – For rotator cuff tears, labral repair, or impingement.

  • Ankle Arthroscopy – For ligament repair, synovitis, or loose body removal.

  • Diagnostic Arthroscopy – To identify hidden joint issues not visible on scans.

Benefits of Arthroscopic Surgery

  • Small incisions and minimal scarring

  • Less pain and blood loss

  • Shorter hospital stay

  • Faster rehabilitation and return to sports

  • High precision and long-term joint stability
