Arthroscopic Surgery
Arthroscopic knee surgery is a surgical
procedure in which a small camera (arthroscope)
is inserted into the knee joint. Usually
arthroscopic knee surgery in Singapore is viewed
on a monitor so that the whole operating team is
aware of the type of surgical procedure that is
being performed. Arthroscopes are approximately
5 mm in diameter, so the incisions are very small
(approximately 1/8 inch). Arthroscopy is much
less traumatic to the muscles, ligaments, and
tissues than the traditional method of performing
open surgery with long incisions (arthrotomy).

Joint Replacement
Joint Replacement Surgery In Singapore Arthritis
of the joints can result in pain and functional
difficulty. In some severe cases, patients are
unable to walk even short distances. Medication,
injections, and joint cleaning procedures such as
arthroscopy often do not provide an optimal
function or adequate pain relief. Joint
Replacement surgery has become the standard of
care for this group of conditions in Singapore
and worldwide. The goal is to relieve the pain
in the joint caused by the damage done to the
cartilage. The pain may be so severe, a person
will avoid using the joint, weakening the muscles
around the joint and making it even more
difficult to move the joint.

Cartilage Repair
As our bodies age, the water content in our
cartilage will decrease which makes it
vulnerable to various knee injuries. Find out
more about cartilage issues and repair treatments
at OrthoSports centre by reading on.The
anterior cruciate ligament or ACL is one of the
most common injured ligaments of the knee,
especially in sports such as basketball and
football at all ages. The ACL stabilizes the knee
for cutting, twisting and jumping and pivoting
activity. The anterior cruciate ligament is in
the centre of the knee joint.When you tear an
ACL due to cartilage damage, you will often feel
or hear a pop. You will also feel the knee shift
out of place and develop significant swelling in
just a few hours.

Frozen Shoulder
Frozen shoulder is a common problem affecting
patients in their early forties and onwards. It
can come on after even a seemingly minor injury,
in many cases, in seems to just start for no
apparent reason. It is slightly more common in
patients who have diabetes. The symptoms start
initially with a period of weeks to months of
increasingly severe shoulder pain. These symptoms
are particularly severe at night, affecting
sleep. The pain is often worsened by sudden
movements, and it may sometimes be difficult to
find a comfortable position. During this period,
the shoulder joint is undergoing a process of
inflammation, resulting in pain.After a period
of time, the pain continues, but starts to give
way to a process of scarring and stiffening of
the shoulder movements, the so-called freezing
stage.

anterior cruciate ligament is in the centre of
the knee joint. Find out more about ACL injuries
