Arthroscopy & Sports Medicine

Comprehensive sports injury and joint preservation care, delivered through minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery, specialist orthopaedic expertise, evidence-based rehabilitation, and personalised return-to-sport programs.

About Department

The Arthroscopy & Sports Medicine unit at PB Health is a specialised division within the Department of Orthopaedics, dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, surgical management, and rehabilitation of sports-related injuries, ligament disorders, and joint pathology. The unit integrates minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery, advanced musculoskeletal imaging, structured physiotherapy, and individualised recovery planning to restore joint function, stability, and physical performance.

Core Arthroscopy & Sports Medicine Capabilities

  • Minimally invasive diagnostic and therapeutic arthroscopic procedures
  • Comprehensive sports injury assessment and individualised treatment planning
  • Ligament reconstruction and surgical joint stabilisation
  • Cartilage preservation techniques and meniscal repair surgery
  • Arthroscopy of the knee, shoulder, ankle, elbow, and hip joints
  • Structured athlete rehabilitation and return-to-sport programs
  • Non-operative management of sports injuries
  • Evidence-based injury prevention and performance recovery guidance
  • Targeted physiotherapy and musculoskeletal rehabilitation
  • Comprehensive post-operative recovery and monitoring protocols

Integrated Sports Injury Care Model

The unit operates within a multidisciplinary orthopaedic framework in which orthopaedic surgeons, sports medicine physicians, physiotherapists, pain management specialists, musculoskeletal radiologists, rehabilitation therapists, and conditioning professionals collaborate to deliver coordinated, patient-centred care.

Each patient is assessed through a structured clinical pathway that includes detailed history-taking and physical examination, advanced imaging evaluation, shared decision-making in treatment planning, minimally invasive surgical intervention where clinically indicated, supervised physiotherapy and rehabilitation, and progressive return-to-activity monitoring with defined functional milestones.

Clinical Focus Areas

Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL), Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL), and complex multi-ligament knee injuries
Meniscal tears and chondral (cartilage) injuries of the knee
Rotator cuff tears, partial-thickness tears, and shoulder instability (including recurrent glenohumeral dislocation)
Lateral epicondylalgia (tennis elbow) and medial epicondylalgia (golfer's elbow)
Ankle ligament injuries, syndesmotic injuries, and acute sports trauma
Patellar instability, recurrent patellar dislocation, and patellofemoral pain syndrome
Adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) and subacromial impingement syndrome
Tendinopathies and acute muscle-tendon unit injuries
Sports-related fractures, stress fractures, and periarticular dislocations
Early-stage knee and hip osteoarthritis with joint preservation potential
Post-surgical orthopaedic rehabilitation and progressive functional restoration
Return-to-sport clearance, performance optimisation, and secondary injury prevention

What To Expect In The Arthroscopy & Sports Medicine Unit

  • From the moment you arrive: Our orthopaedic surgeons and rehabilitation team will guide you through a thorough clinical evaluation, appropriate imaging, and a clear treatment plan.
  • Detailed clinical and movement assessment: Joint stability, range of motion, neuromuscular strength, and injury biomechanics are systematically evaluated.
  • Precision musculoskeletal imaging: MRI, weight-bearing X-rays, diagnostic ultrasound, and advanced imaging protocols support accurate diagnosis and surgical planning.
  • Minimally invasive treatment focus: Where clinically appropriate, arthroscopic techniques are preferred to minimise surgical trauma, reduce post-operative pain, and shorten recovery time.
  • Structured rehabilitation planning: Specialist physiotherapists design progressive, goal-directed rehabilitation and functional strengthening programs tailored to each patient's injury and activity goals.
  • Safe and monitored return to activity: Recovery milestones are objectively assessed before patients are cleared to resume sporting or physical activity, ensuring safety and reducing re-injury risk.

FAQs

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat joint problems using a tiny camera and specialised instruments inserted through small incisions. It usually allows faster recovery, less pain, and smaller scars compared to open surgery.
