Amrapali Sapphire, Sector-45, Noida, UP Clinic Care : Mon–Sat, 5:30PM to 8PM

Injured isn't finished.

ACL, meniscus, shoulder — keyhole repair by a sports-trained surgeon, then a rehab programme measured session by session until you're back on the field. Not when the calendar says. When the numbers do.

Keyhole (arthroscopic) repair Return-to-play testing Weekend athlete slots School & club tie-ups

The goal isn't repair.
It's return.

A sports injury is two problems: the torn tissue, and the interrupted life. Most hospitals fix the first. This clinic was built to fix both — keyhole surgery for the tear, and a rehab plan that tracks every session until you're safely back on the field.

School athletes, club cricketers, weekend badminton players, marathoners and elders who refuse to stop walking — the plan differs, the honesty doesn't. Some injuries need surgery. Many just need proper rehab. You'll be told which yours is, and why.

Sports Injuries
~5mo injury to first match back —
the typical ACL comeback

The field's usual suspects

Six injuries account for most of the sidelines — all six repairable through keyholes smaller than a fingernail.

ACL Tears

The pivot-and-pop injury. Reconstructed arthroscopically, rehabbed by numbers, return to sport ~5 months after testing.

Meniscus Tears

The knee's shock absorber — repaired and saved whenever the tear pattern allows, trimmed only when it doesn't.

Rotator Cuff

Shoulder tendons torn by sport or time — keyhole repair with a calm, staged recovery. No rush, no shortcuts.

Shoulder Instability

Dislocations that keep happening — tightened and stabilised through the scope, so the next tackle isn't a gamble.

Ankle Sprains & Instability

The "just a sprain" that keeps giving — proper imaging, rehab, and surgery only for the ligaments that truly need it.

Overuse Injuries

Tennis elbow, runner's knee, shin splints — load-management plans that fix the cause, not just the ache.

Five injuries that don't wait for the weekend

+91 9315 887 351
A dislocated shoulder or joint right now — come to emergency; don't force it back yourself
A knee that popped and is swelling fast — RICE now, see us within 24–48 hours
Unable to bear weight after a twist or fall — X-ray the same day
A joint that locks, catches or gives way — mechanical signs mean something's loose inside
Numbness, pins-and-needles or a cold, pale limb after injury — emergency, immediately

Four steps from pop to play

Every athlete gets the same disciplined sequence — no mystery, no guesswork, no "see how it feels."

01
Diagnose precisely

Same-visit examination and X-ray, MRI coordinated fast — we treat the actual tear, not the assumption.

02
Repair through keyholes

Arthroscopic surgery via incisions under a centimetre — usually day-care, home the same evening.

03
Rehab by numbers

A gym programme with every session measured — strength, range and control tracked against your baseline.

04
Return to play

Objective testing — hop tests, strength symmetry, sport drills — before the whistle, not before the date.

ACL: the five-month comeback

The most common question in sports OPD, answered month by month. (And no — not every ACL tear needs surgery. The assessment comes first, honestly.)

Wk 0–2
Settle & protect
Weeks 0–2

Swelling control, walking re-learned, crutches retired. Surgery timing decided once the knee calms.

Wk 2–6
Wake the leg up
Weeks 2–6

Full straightening, gradual bending, quad muscles re-recruited — the foundation everything builds on.

Mo 2–3
Build strength
Months 2–3

Gym blocks — squats, step-downs, balance work — with each session logged against your numbers.

Mo 3–4
Run & jump
Months 3–4

Jogging around 3–4 months, then hopping, cutting and sport-specific drills — jog first, pivot later.

Mo 5
Test & return
Month 5

Return-to-play testing — pass the numbers, pass the drills, then the first match back. ~5 months, done right.

Desk job? Faster.

Back to office work in 2–3 weeks after keyhole repair. The five-month clock is for pivoting sport, not for life.

<10% the strength gap both legs
must close before clearance

Cleared by numbers, not by calendar

Re-injury is highest in athletes who return "when they feel fine." So before any clearance, the injured side must match the healthy one — objectively:

  • Hop-test symmetry — single-leg hop for distance and speed, both sides compared
  • Strength deficit <10% — measured in the gym, not guessed in the corridor
  • Sport-specific drills — your sport's actual movements, at match pace
  • Confidence check — hesitation predicts re-injury; we train it out before the whistle

All 27 FAQs

No. Partial tears and lower-demand lifestyles can do well with structured rehab alone. If your knee stays stable and your goals don't involve pivoting sport, we'll say so — surgery is recommended when it's genuinely the better path, not by default.

Keyhole repair, then rehab: desk work in 2–3 weeks, jogging around 3–4 months, return to sport ~5 months — after passing return-to-play testing. The five-month clock is for pivoting sport; ordinary life returns much sooner.

Usually, yes. Two or three incisions under a centimetre, repair through the high-definition arthroscope, and most patients go home the same evening or after one night — walking out on their own two feet.

Whichever your tear allows. Repairing (stitching) saves the meniscus and its cushioning, so we repair whenever the tear pattern and blood supply permit; trimming is reserved for patterns that won't heal. You'll know the plan — and the reason — before surgery.

A brace protects; it doesn't restore stability. For casual cycling or jogging, bracing plus rehab can be a real option. For pivoting sports — cricket, football, badminton — an unstable knee with a brace still gives way, and each episode damages the meniscus further. We'll lay out both paths honestly.

The earlier we see it, the sooner you're back.
