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.

Knee injuries like ACL and Meniscus tears can feel overwhelming, but the good news is that treatment today is more advanced and effective than ever. The right approach depends on the type of injury, severity, and the athlete’s activity level.

🔹 𝐑𝐞𝐡𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 & 𝐏𝐡𝐲𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐚𝐩𝐲
For minor sprains or small tears, rest combined with physiotherapy can work wonders. Strengthening exercises, flexibility training, and balance drills help restore stability and prevent re-injury.

🔹 𝐁𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 & 𝐒𝐮𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭
Sometimes, a knee brace is recommended to provide extra support during healing and protect the joint during movement.

🔹 𝐌𝐞𝐝𝐢𝐜𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬 & 𝐈𝐧𝐣𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬
Anti-inflammatory medicines or regenerative injections (like PRP) can reduce pain, improve mobility, and support healing.

🔹 𝐀𝐫𝐭𝐡𝐫𝐨𝐬𝐜𝐨𝐩𝐢𝐜 𝐒𝐮𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐫𝐲
For major ligament or meniscus injuries, minimally invasive arthroscopy is often the best solution. Through tiny keyhole incisions, the damaged tissue is repaired or reconstructed with precision. This method offers:
✔️ Faster recovery
✔️ Less pain and scarring
✔️ Early return to sports

Not every injury needs surgery — but every injury needs attention. Timely diagnosis and a personalized treatment plan can make all the difference between sitting on the sidelines and getting back in the game.

Articular cartilage damage, or chondral lesions, can have multiple origins. Traumatic lesions usually result from specific injuries such as sports accidents or falls, often affecting younger and active people. These injuries cause sudden joint pain, swelling, and sensations like catching or locking within the joint.

Degenerative chondral lesions, by contrast, arise slowly over years due to wear and tear. They are more common in older adults and tend to cause gradual stiffness, intermittent pain, and a steady loss of joint function.

Distinguishing between these lesion types relies on patient history, clinical examination, and imaging studies. Traumatic lesions may respond well to targeted repair, while degenerative cases often benefit from conservative measures. Early identification makes it possible to customize solutions and prevent further joint deterioration. Persistent joint pain or dysfunction should prompt further evaluation to protect joint health.

Athletes push their bodies to the limit, but sometimes pain is more than just “part of the game.” Recognizing early warning signs of injury can prevent long-term damage and help you get back on the field faster. Here are some key symptoms every athlete should watch out for:

🔹 𝐏𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭 𝐉𝐨𝐢𝐧𝐭 𝐏𝐚𝐢𝐧 – If discomfort lingers beyond normal post-training soreness, it may signal something deeper.
🔹 𝐒𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 & 𝐒𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐟𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 – Inflammation that doesn’t subside with rest or ice should never be ignored.
🔹𝐏𝐨𝐩𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐨𝐫 𝐂𝐥𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐝𝐬 – Especially in the knee or shoulder, this may indicate ligament or cartilage injury.
🔹 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐛𝐢𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐲 𝐨𝐫 “𝐆𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐖𝐚𝐲” – A feeling that your knee, ankle, or shoulder won’t support you is a red flag.
🔹 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐜𝐭𝐞𝐝 𝐌𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭 – Difficulty bending, straightening, or rotating a joint may point to structural damage.
🔹 𝐖𝐞𝐚𝐤𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐫 𝐍𝐮𝐦𝐛𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬– Loss of strength or unusual sensations can indicate nerve involvement.

✅ 𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐄𝐚𝐫𝐥𝐲 𝐃𝐞𝐭𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐌𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬
Catching these symptoms early means quicker recovery, less risk of complications, and a higher chance of returning to peak performance. Waiting too long often leads to more severe injuries and longer downtime.

Listen to your body. Rest when needed, and if pain persists, consult a specialist. Early diagnosis and treatment can save your career — and your health.

Recovery after ACL surgery is a gradual process that requires patience, commitment, and adherence to medical advice. The typical recovery timeline can range from 6 to 12 months, depending on the individual’s health, the surgical technique, and the rehabilitation program.

Initial weeks focus on reducing swelling, regaining mobility, and performing basic exercises under supervision. Weight-bearing may be gradually increased with the support of crutches. By 2–3 months, strengthening exercises and balance training are introduced to improve stability.

Around 4–6 months, patients begin sport-specific or advanced functional training, under careful monitoring. A return to competitive sports is usually considered only after 9 months, once strength, coordination, and flexibility are fully restored.

Do’s include attending physiotherapy sessions regularly, following exercise plans, and protecting the knee during recovery. Don’ts include skipping rehab, rushing into sports, or ignoring pain and swelling, as these can delay healing or cause complications.

Life after ACL surgery can be highly rewarding with proper care. Many patients return to their desired level of activity, but success depends on consistent rehabilitation and professional guidance every step of the way.

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

Sports bring out the best in us — strength, agility, and determination. But with intense physical activity also comes the risk of injuries, especially to the knee joint. Two of the most common and concerning knee injuries in athletes are ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) tears and Meniscus tears.

🔹𝐀𝐂𝐋 𝐈𝐧𝐣𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬
The ACL is a key ligament that stabilizes the knee. Athletes in sports like football, basketball, and cricket are especially prone to ACL tears due to sudden stops, twists, or awkward landings.

𝐒𝐲𝐦𝐩𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐬 𝐦𝐚𝐲 𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐥𝐮𝐝𝐞:
- A popping sound at the time of injury
- Immediate swelling
- Instability or the knee “giving way”

🔹 𝐌𝐞𝐧𝐢𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐬 𝐈𝐧𝐣𝐮𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬
The meniscus is a C-shaped cartilage that cushions the knee. A sudden twist or direct impact can cause a tear.

𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐨𝐧 𝐬𝐢𝐠𝐧𝐬 𝐚𝐫𝐞:
- Pain and swelling
- Stiffness or inability to fully extend the knee
- Locking or catching sensation in the joint

⚠️𝐖𝐡𝐲 𝐢𝐭 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬:
Ignoring these injuries can lead to long-term instability, arthritis, or reduced athletic performance.

💡 𝐊𝐞𝐲 𝐓𝐚𝐤𝐞𝐚𝐰𝐚𝐲:
Early diagnosis and proper treatment are the difference between a quick recovery and long-term damage. If you suspect a knee injury, don’t ignore it — consult a doctor.

✨ Protect your knees, play safe, and keep moving forward!
