Knee Arthroscopy in Panvel, Navi Mumbai

Knee Arthroscopy in Panvel, Navi Mumbai

Mhatre Accident Hospital is the preferred centre for knee arthroscopy in Panvel, serving athletes, working professionals, and accident patients across Navi Mumbai, Uran, Pen, Alibaug, and the Mumbai-Pune Expressway corridor. Our skilled orthopaedic surgeons use cutting-edge arthroscopic equipment to diagnose and treat the full range of knee joint conditions — with minimal incisions, less pain, and a faster return to active life.

Knee arthroscopy is a keyhole surgical technique in which a tiny camera (arthroscope) is inserted into the knee joint through a small incision, giving the surgeon a clear, magnified view of all internal structures. Most procedures are completed in under an hour and patients walk the same day.

Knee Conditions We Treat with Arthroscopy

• ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) Tear: Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction using hamstring or patellar tendon graft — the gold standard for young athletes and active patients with knee instability.
• PCL (Posterior Cruciate Ligament) Tear: Surgical reconstruction of the PCL for patients with posterior knee instability after road accidents or sports trauma.
• Meniscus Tear: Arthroscopic meniscus repair (saving the cartilage) or partial meniscectomy — depending on the tear type, location, and patient age.
• Cartilage Injuries (Chondral Defects): Microfracture, chondroplasty, and cartilage restoration procedures for articular cartilage damage.
• Knee Synovitis: Arthroscopic synovectomy for inflamed knee joint lining causing chronic swelling and pain.
• Plica Syndrome: Removal of irritated synovial plica causing snapping, pain, and swelling in the knee.
• Loose Bodies in Knee: Removal of bone or cartilage fragments causing locking, catching, and pain.
• Knee Diagnostic Arthroscopy: When MRI is inconclusive, arthroscopy provides a definitive visual diagnosis of knee joint pathology.

ACL Surgery — What to Expect

ACL tears are among the most common serious sports injuries — and Mhatre Accident Hospital offers internationally standardised ACL reconstruction. The procedure is performed arthroscopically (keyhole surgery) under spinal or general anaesthesia. A graft (typically from the patient's own hamstring tendon) replaces the torn ACL and is fixed with bioabsorbable screws. Most patients are discharged within 24–48 hours and begin physiotherapy immediately.

ACL Surgery Recovery Timeline:

• Week 1–2: Walking with crutches, wound care, icing, gentle exercises
• Week 3–6: Progressive weight-bearing, range-of-motion physiotherapy
• Month 2–4: Strengthening exercises, cycling, swimming allowed
• Month 6–9: Return to sport with physiotherapist clearance

When Is Knee Replacement Needed Instead of Arthroscopy?

Arthroscopy is ideal for ligament tears, meniscus injuries, and early-stage cartilage damage. When the knee joint is severely damaged by end-stage arthritis (bone-on-bone), robotic knee replacement or joint replacement may be more appropriate. Our surgeons assess each patient individually with X-rays and MRI before recommending the best approach.
