Some of the most popular orthopedic treatments are:
Arthroscopic Surgery
This is a surgical procedure which you may also known as keyhole surgery. The surgeon will make a small incision in the skin, which is the size of a keyhole, and thus the name. The shoulder, knee, ankle, and wrist are the places on the body where this surgery is carried out. Knee joint replacement is the arthroscopic surgery that is mostly sought after by patients visiting India.
You may need to stay for a couple of days in the hospital for most general orthopedic surgeries. Post-surgical care including physical workout or physiotherapy, is vital for proper recovery, so you must follow the physician’s advice.
Anterior Cruciate Ligament reconstruction (ACLR)
ACLR is one of the commonest tissue graft replacements. It is a restorative treatment recommended after surgery of injured knees. Usually, recovery after ACLR needs 6 weeks but it can extend longer depending on your age and health condition.
Joint replacement

Meniscectomy
This procedure repairs the torn meniscus of the knee. The process involves opening the torn meniscus and removing it. This reduces the intense pain of the patient. The recovery time is usually 4-6 weeks depending on the health and procedure. If arthroscopic surgery is done, then the recovery is quicker.
