The Role of MRI and Arthroscopy in Precise Diagnosis of Articular Cartilage Damage

 

Diagnosing cartilage lesions can be a challenge since damaged cartilage doesn’t produce immediate symptoms or show up clearly on basic X-rays. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the gold standard, offering detailed images of cartilage thickness, surface breakdown, and underlying bone reaction.

 

When MRI findings are uncertain or a more definitive assessment is needed, diagnostic arthroscopy provides direct visualization. This minimally invasive procedure enables the clinician to inspect the cartilage in detail and even treat the area if necessary.

 

A combined approach with MRI and arthroscopy improves the accuracy of diagnosis and helps shape effective treatment plans. Early and targeted intervention guided by precise diagnostics can prevent progression to osteoarthritis and enhance long-term joint function.

 

For more information or a detailed evaluation of articular cartilage damage, book a consultation with Dr. Biren Nadkarni, a renowned orthopedic and joint replacement specialist in Delhi.

The Role of Physiotherapy in ACL Recovery

 

Physiotherapy plays a vital role in both non-surgical management and post-surgical recovery of ACL injuries. The goal is to restore knee strength, mobility, and stability while preventing complications such as stiffness or re-injury.

Early stages of rehabilitation focus on reducing swelling, improving range of motion, and reactivating the quadriceps muscles. Gentle exercises such as heel slides, straight leg raises, and ankle pumps are often introduced. As recovery progresses, physiotherapists design tailored programs including balance training, resistance exercises, and functional drills.

For patients who undergo ACL reconstruction, physiotherapy is critical in regaining full function and ensuring the graft heals properly. Progressive training, supervised by an expert, helps patients gradually return to daily activities and eventually to sports.

A structured rehabilitation plan under professional guidance significantly shortens recovery time and enhances long-term success.

Consult Dr. Biren Nadkarni at Joint & Bone Solutions for any information on ACL surgery.

Understanding ACL Injuries: Causes, Symptoms, and Risk Factors You Shouldn’t Ignore

 

The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) is one of the key stabilizers of the knee joint, essential for movements like pivoting, jumping, and sudden directional changes. An ACL injury often occurs during sports such as football, basketball, or cricket, where quick turns or awkward landings put stress on the knee. However, it can also happen in daily life due to slips, falls, or road accidents.

Common symptoms include a popping sound at the time of injury, sudden swelling, instability, and difficulty bearing weight. Risk factors include participation in high-intensity sports, poor muscle conditioning, previous knee injuries, and even anatomical differences such as narrower ligament structure in some individuals.

Recognizing early signs is critical because untreated ACL tears can lead to chronic knee instability and long-term conditions like osteoarthritis. Timely consultation with an orthopedic specialist such as Dr. Biren Nadkarni ensures accurate diagnosis through clinical tests and imaging.

Consult Dr. Biren Nadkarni at Joint & Bone Solutions for any information on ACL surgery.
