Real Outcomes. Restored Mobility.
"I was struggling with chronic osteoarthritic knee pain for over 5 years. Climbing stairs was a nightmare. Dr. Yugal recommended a robotic-assisted knee replacement. Within weeks of the procedure, I was walking pain-free. His rehabilitation plan made all the difference!"
Ramesh Verma
Total Knee Replacement Patient"As an amateur badminton player, an ACL tear felt like the end of my active lifestyle. Dr. Yugal performed a keyhole arthroscopic reconstruction. The surgery went smoothly, and his dedicated sports rehab plan got me back on the court in 6 months."
Amit Kumar
ACL Reconstruction Patient"A severe rotator cuff injury left my left shoulder almost frozen. Dr. Yugal's arthroscopic surgery and gradual manual release therapy sessions restored 100% of my range of motion. I highly recommend him for his patience and expert surgical skill."

Shoulder Arthroscopy PatientClinical & Consultation FAQs
Prior to surgery, you will undergo routine medical clearance tests (blood work, ECG, X-rays). We advise patients to maintain moderate, low-impact exercise, quit smoking, and arrange for a family member or caregiver to assist with post-operative recovery at home for the first 1-2 weeks. Standard fasting is required 8 hours prior to the procedure.
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive technique where the surgeon inserts a small camera (arthroscope) and specialized micro-instruments through tiny keyhole incisions. The benefits include significantly reduced muscle disruption, minimal bleeding, smaller scars, reduced post-operative pain, and a much faster return to normal activities compared to open surgeries.
Recovery timelines vary depending on the procedure. For keyhole ligament repairs, patients usually walk with crutches within a few days and achieve full athletic recovery in 4-6 months. For joint replacements, patients typically walk with support on the first post-operative day, and transition to independent walking in 3-4 weeks. Dedicated physiotherapy continues for 6-12 weeks.
Absolutely. We prioritize conservative, non-surgical joint preservation pathways wherever possible. This includes custom physical therapy programs, weight optimization, lifestyle changes, pharmacological treatments, and intra-articular injections (such as hyaluronic acid or PRP therapies) to manage pain and delay or avoid surgery in early-stage arthritis.
