sports injuries
Sports injuries produce various symptoms and complications. The most widely recognized kinds of sports injuries by include:
- Sprains. Overstretching or tearing the ligament results in a sprain. Ligaments are bits of tissue that interface two bones in a joint.
- Strains. Overstretching or tearing muscles or tendons brings about an injury. Tendons are thick, sinewy lines of tissue that associate bone to muscle.
- Knee wounds. Any injury that meddles with how the knee joint moves could be a games injury. It could go from an overstretch to a tear in the muscles or tissues in the knee.
- Swollen muscles. Swelling is a characteristic response to a physical issue. Swollen muscles may likewise be painful and feeble.
- Achilles tendon ruptures. The Achilles tendon is a slender, powerful tendon at the rear of your lower leg. During sports, this ligament can break or crack. At the point when it does, you may encounter unexpected, extreme torment and trouble strolling.
- Fractures. Bone fractures are otherwise called broken bones.
- Dislocations. Sports injuries may separate a bone in your body. At the point when that occurs, a bone is constrained out of its attachment. This can be excruciating and lead to swelling and weakness.
- Rotator cuff injury. Four bits of muscle cooperate to frame the rotator cuff. The rotator cuff keeps your shoulder moving every which way. A tear in any of these muscles can debilitate the rotator cuff.
management of sports injuries
- A Rice method is to be followed within 24hours to 36 hours of the injury to obtain best results. This is helpful for mild sports injuries. It can help reduce swelling and prevent pain and bruising in the early days after a sports injury.
- If your sports injury looks or feels severe, make an appointment to see your doctor. Seek emergency care if the injured joint shows signs of
- Severe swelling and pain
- Visible lumps, bumps, or other deformities
- Popping or crunching sounds when you use the joint
- Weakness or inability to put weight on the joint
- Instability
Also seek emergency attention if you experience any of the following after an injury
- difficulty breathing
- dizziness
- fever
Serious sports injuries can require surgery and sports physiotherapy. If the injury doesn’t heal within two weeks, contact Dr. Gaurav Singh Orthopaedic Surgeon for an appointment
Arthroscopy
What is Arthroscopy?
An Arthroscopy is a small, fiber-optic instrument consisting of a lens, light source, and video camera. The camera projects an image of the inside of the joint onto a large screen monitor allowing the surgeon to look for any damage, assess the type of injury, and repair the problem.
knee arthroscopy
What is Knee Arthroscopy Surgery?
Knee Arthroscopy Surgery is a common surgical procedure performed using an arthroscopy, a viewing instrument, to diagnose or treat a knee problem. It is a relatively safe procedure and most of the patients are discharged from the hospital on the same day of surgery. Most patients are ready for discharge on the same day of surgery and can recover very fast due to the minimally invasive technique
Indications for Knee Arthroscopy Surgery
- Ligament injuries (eg ACL, PCL)
- Meniscal pathology
- Cartilage procedures
- Osteochondritis dissecans
- Treatment of patella problems
- Treatment of infected knee.
Knee Arthroscopy Procedure
Knee arthroscopy is performed under local, spinal or general anesthesia. Your anesthesiologist will decide the best method for you depending on your age and health condition.
- Two or three small incisions are made around the knee.
- Next, a sterile saline solution is injected into the knee to push apart the various internal structures. This provides a clear view and more room to work.
- An arthroscopy, a narrow tube with a tiny video camera on the end, is inserted through one of the incisions to view the knee joint. The structures inside the knee are visible to Dr. Gaurav Singh on a video monitor in the operating room.
- Dr. Gaurav SIngh first examines the structures inside the knee joint to assess the cause of the problem.
- Once a diagnosis is made, surgical instruments such as scissors, motorized shavers, or lasers are inserted through another small incision, and the repair is performed based on the diagnosis.
Knee Arthroscopy Rehabilitation
Depending on the indication of your knee arthroscopy and your requirements, Dr Gaurav SIngh & the Knee Rehab Unit will customise your rehabilitation plan. This will be designed keeping in mind the goals of faster recovery, early mobilisation and return to desired/planned activity levels. You will be guided every step of the way during your rehabilitation to achieve your goals.

shoulder arthroscopy
what is shulder arthroscopy??
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic and surgical procedure performed for joint problems. Shoulder arthroscopy is performed using a pencil-sized instrument called an arthroscope which is inserted into the shoulder joint. The arthroscope consists of a light system and camera that projects images onto a computer screen for Dr. Gaurav Singh to view the inside of the joint. Arthroscopy may be used to treat disease conditions and injuries involving the bones, cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and muscles of the shoulder joint.
Shoulder Anatomy
The shoulder joint is made up of a ball and socket joint, where the head of the humerus (upper arm bone) articulates with the socket of the scapula (shoulder blade) called the glenoid. The two articulating surfaces of the bones are covered with cartilage, which prevents friction between the moving bones enabling smooth movement. Tendons and ligaments around the shoulder joint provide strength and stability to the joint.
Indications of Shoulder Arthroscopy
Shoulder arthroscopy is indicated to treat the following shoulder conditions when conservative treatment such as medication and therapy fails to relieve pain and disability:
- Shoulder Impingement: this occurs when the shoulder blade applies pressure on the underlying soft tissues when the arm is lifted
- Rotator cuff tear
- Frozen shoulder or stiffness of the shoulder joint
- Shoulder Instability: this occurs when the head of the upper arm bone slips out of the socket of the shoulder blade’s glenoid cavity either due to injury or overuse
- Damaged cartilage or ligaments
- SLAP tear
- Bone spurs or bony projections
Shoulder Arthroscopy Procedure
Dr. Gaurav Singh performs shoulder arthroscopy under general or regional anesthesia. You may be positioned sitting in a semi-seated position called beach-chair position. Sterile fluid is injected into the shoulder joint to expand the surgical area, so Dr. Gaurav has a clear view of the damage and room to work. A button-sized hole is made in the shoulder and the arthroscope is inserted. Dr. Gaurav can view images captured by the camera in the arthroscope on a large monitor. Surgical instruments are introduced into the joint through separate small holes to remove and repair the damage to the joint. After surgery, the instruments are removed, and the incisions are closed with stitches or small sterile bandage strips.
Rehabilitation
Following your shoulder arthroscopy you will be placed in an arm pouch to rest your arm. You will be initiated on hand, finger, wrist and elbow exercises. Shoulder exercises may begin soon after surgery or after delay by a few days depending on the procedure undertaken.
