SPORTS MEDICINE & ARTHROSCOPY
About
Recover stronger, move with confidence again.
Advanced arthroscopic surgery and sports injury treatment by Dr. Amit Kumar Sharma, Associate Consultant at Fortis Escorts Hospital, Faridabad — from ligament injuries to shoulder disorders, every plan is built to restore movement, stability, and confidence.
Understanding Sports Medicine & Arthroscopy
Advanced care for active lives
Sports injuries can affect anyone — not just professional athletes. Whether caused by sport, exercise, work, or everyday activity, injuries to the ligaments, cartilage, tendons, or joints can significantly impact mobility and quality of life.
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive technique that lets the surgeon diagnose and treat joint problems through small incisions using a specialised camera and instruments — often meaning less pain, smaller scars, quicker recovery, and an earlier return to daily activities compared with open surgery.
Dr. Amit Kumar Sharma offers comprehensive evaluation and treatment for sports injuries affecting the knee and shoulder, with personalised plans built around each patient’s activity level, goals, and lifestyle.

Common questions answered
What is arthroscopy?
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a small camera and specialised instruments to diagnose and treat problems inside a joint through tiny incisions.
Is arthroscopy better than open surgery?
For many knee and shoulder conditions, arthroscopy offers smaller incisions, less pain, reduced scarring, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
How long does recovery take after arthroscopy?
Recovery depends on the procedure performed and the severity of the injury. Minor procedures may recover within weeks, while ligament reconstruction requires a structured rehabilitation programme over several months.
Can ACL injuries heal without surgery?
Partial ACL injuries may sometimes be managed conservatively. Complete tears, particularly in active individuals, often require reconstruction to restore knee stability.
When can I return to sports after ACL reconstruction?
Return to sports depends on healing, rehabilitation progress, muscle strength, and medical assessment. Your surgeon will guide you based on your recovery.
Is shoulder arthroscopy painful?
Most patients experience manageable discomfort after surgery, which improves gradually with medication, physiotherapy, and rehabilitation.
Can sports injuries occur without playing sports?
Yes. Falls, road accidents, workplace injuries, and everyday activities can also cause ligament, cartilage, and tendon injuries.
Do all sports injuries require surgery?
No. Many injuries respond well to rest, physiotherapy, medications, or injections. Surgery is recommended only when conservative treatment is unlikely to restore normal joint function.
