Sports injury treatment in Mumbai. ACL reconstruction, meniscus repair, shoulder and ankle arthroscopy by Dr. Vaibhav Bagaria, with return-to-sport planning.
Dr. Vaibhav Bagaria has treated injuries in professional athletes and recreational players for over two decades. He provides sports injury treatment in Mumbai at Sir H. N. Reliance Foundation Hospital, covering the knee, shoulder and ankle from ligament reconstruction to cartilage restoration.
He trained in sports medicine and arthroscopy in Australia, at Sir Charles Gairdner and Hollywood Private Hospital in Perth, Avenue Hospital in Melbourne, and Sportsmed SA in Adelaide.
Arthroscopy is keyhole surgery of a joint. A small camera is inserted through an incision of a few millimetres, letting the surgeon see inside the joint on a screen and work through similarly small incisions.
Because healthy tissue is disturbed far less than in open surgery, there is generally less pain, less scarring and a faster recovery. It also allows several problems to be assessed and treated in one procedure a meniscus tear and a cartilage injury found alongside an ACL tear, for example.
Arthroscopic surgery suits patients whose injury is causing instability, mechanical symptoms, or persistent limitation despite proper rehabilitation.
Surgery is generally the right step when:
Many injuries recover fully without surgery , and Dr. Bagaria will always establish whether rehabilitation can get you there first. Where it can, that is the better route. Where it cannot, surgery is planned with the rehabilitation programme agreed beforehand.
Consultation, examination and imaging usually MRI, which identifies associated injuries that change the plan. Fitness assessment and blood tests.
For ligament surgery, restoring movement and reducing swelling before the operation matters, so a period of physiotherapy beforehand is often part of the plan.
Most patients return to their previous activities. Outcome depends on the quality of rehabilitation, whether associated injuries were present, and following the graduated return plan.
Where meniscus or cartilage was also treated, preserving as much tissue as possible is the priority, since that is what protects the joint long term.

Medical Disclaimer: This page provides general information about hip replacement surgery and is not a substitute for individual medical consultation. Suitability and expected recovery vary between patients and must be assessed by a qualified surgeon. Recovery timelines given here are typical ranges. After surgery, seek urgent medical attention for sudden severe hip pain with the leg appearing shortened or rotated, fever, increasing wound redness or discharge, calf pain or swelling, or sudden breathlessness.
