Reconstruction & Restoration (Ligament Reconstruction & Cartilage Restoration)
Injuries to ligaments and cartilage can significantly impact mobility, joint function, and overall quality of life. Ligament reconstruction and cartilage restoration are advanced procedures designed to restore joint stability, reduce pain, and prevent further degeneration — especially crucial for athletes and active individuals.
Dr. Rajeev Raman, a Kolkata-based Orthopaedic Surgeon and expert in Arthroscopy and Sports Injury Management, brings cutting-edge solutions for patients suffering from knee, shoulder, and other joint injuries. With a strong emphasis on minimally invasive techniques, Dr. Rajeev Raman ensures faster recovery and long-lasting results.
What Is Ligament Reconstruction?
Ligament reconstruction involves replacing a torn or damaged ligament with a graft — either from the patient (autograft) or a donor (allograft). The procedure is most commonly performed for –
- Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) injuries
- Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) injuries
- Shoulder instability (labrum and capsule reconstructions)
What Is Cartilage Restoration?
Cartilage damage, especially in weight-bearing joints like the knee, can lead to early arthritis if left untreated. Dr. Rajeev Raman offers several techniques for restoring cartilage, including:
- Microfracture surgery
- Osteochondral autograft transplantation (OATS)
- Autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI)
However, these treatments aim to regenerate cartilage, reduce pain, and improve joint function.
