Led by Dr. Rushikesh Abhyankar and Dr. Rajendra Abhyankar — precise, minimally invasive surgery for knee and shoulder problems, with the focus on a faster recovery.
Arthroscopy lets the surgeon look inside a joint and treat it through a few tiny cuts, using a thin camera and fine instruments instead of one large open incision. For the right problem this means less pain after surgery, a smaller scar and a quicker return to walking, work and sport. At Purva Hospital, arthroscopic surgery is performed by our orthopaedic team in our own operation theatre.
Not every painful joint needs surgery — many problems settle with rest, medicines and physiotherapy, and we will tell you so honestly. For more on how knee injuries are assessed, read our guide to knee injury and MRI.
Every arthroscopy begins with a careful examination and, where needed, an X-ray in our own digital X-ray unit and a review of your MRI. Surgery is done in our fully equipped operation theatre, supported by our in-house pathology laboratory and pharmacy. After surgery you follow a structured rehabilitation plan so the joint regains strength and movement safely. For insured patients, our billing team assists with cashless claims.

View Full Profile →Arthroscopy is a keyhole technique in which a thin camera and small instruments are passed into the joint through a few tiny cuts. Open surgery needs a larger incision to reach the joint. Keyhole surgery usually means smaller wounds and a faster recovery, though the best method depends on your problem.
It depends on the procedure. After a simple diagnostic or cleaning procedure, many patients walk within a few days. After ACL reconstruction or meniscus repair, a longer structured physiotherapy programme of several months is needed before returning to sport. Your surgeon will give you a personalised timeline.
Often yes. After an examination and X-ray, an MRI helps confirm ligament, meniscus or cartilage injuries and plan the surgery. Your surgeon will tell you whether it is needed in your case.
Cover depends on your policy, but Purva Hospital offers hassle-free cashless claims with providers including New India Assurance, National Insurance Company, Oriental Insurance, United Insurance and Aditya Birla — our billing team assists throughout.
