Arthroscopic ACL surgery is used to treat injuries or tears of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), which commonly occur due to sports activities or accidents that cause the knee to twist, rotate, or move abnormally, leading to ligament tears. These injuries impact daily movement and activity.

Arthroscopic PCL surgery is used to treat injuries or tears of the posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), which commonly occur due to accidents or falls where the knee hits the ground directly. This causes the PCL, located deep within the knee, to tear, impacting daily movement and activity.

Pain radiating around the shoulder when lifting the arm, reaching for something, or putting on clothes may not just be fatigue but could be a sign of “shoulder impingement syndrome.” This is commonly seen in patients who repetitively use their arms for extended periods or in elderly patients with degenerative shoulder joints. When the body attempts to repair the deteriorating joint, calcium may accumulate and form bone spurs, which press on the tendons around the shoulder joint, causing chronic pain. 

Rotator cuff tears are commonly found in elderly individuals or those who repeatedly use their shoulders for extended periods, such as lifting heavy objects, playing sports, or doing certain types of household work. The tendons around the shoulder joint control movement and provide stability. When these tendons tear, deep pain in the shoulder is felt, especially when lifting the arm or reaching for something, affecting daily life.
