Ligament Surgeries Care by Dr. Harsha G N

Ligament surgeries are specialized orthopedic procedures performed to repair or reconstruct torn or damaged ligaments that stabilize joints such as the knee, shoulder, ankle, and elbow. Ligament injuries commonly occur due to sports trauma, sudden twisting movements, accidents, or repetitive stress, leading to joint instability and pain.

Advanced surgical techniques, including minimally invasive arthroscopic procedures, are used to restore ligament integrity and joint stability. Treatment is carefully planned based on the type and severity of injury, activity level, and long-term functional goals of the patient.

When to Consider Ligament Surgery

• Recurrent joint instability or giving way during movement
• Persistent pain or swelling after ligament injury
• Inability to return to sports or physical activities despite rehabilitation
• Complete ligament tears confirmed by imaging studies

Advantages of Ligament Surgery

• Restoration of joint stability and normal movement
• Reduced risk of long-term joint damage and arthritis
• Faster recovery with minimally invasive surgical techniques
• Improved performance and safe return to sports and daily activities

Rehabilitation following ligament surgery is crucial for successful outcomes. A structured physiotherapy program focuses on restoring strength, flexibility, and coordination. Regular follow-up ensures proper healing, joint stability, and long-term functional success.
