Anterolateral Rotatory Knee Instability

Courtesy Dr Elmar Herbst, Dr Ashok Shyam, Ortho TV   Anterolateral Rotatory Instability (ALRI) of the Knee Introduction Anterolateral rotatory instability (ALRI) is a complex instability pattern that commonly occurs following anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury. Although ACL reconstruction restores anterior stability in most patients, residual rotational instability may persist despite technically successful surgery. Understanding […]

ACL Surgery Step-by-Step

Courtesy Dr Sachin Tapasvi, Dr Ashok Shyam, Ortho TV   ACL Reconstruction: Surgical Planning, Technique and Key Principles Introduction Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) reconstruction is one of the most commonly performed procedures in sports orthopaedics. Successful outcomes depend not only on surgical skill, but also on appropriate patient selection, graft choice, accurate tunnel placement, biological […]

ACL Consistency

ACL Recon: How I do it

Courtesy Dr Anant Joshi, Dr Ashok Shyam, Ortho TV   Technique of ACL Reconstruction Introduction Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction is one of the most commonly performed procedures in sports orthopaedics. Although the surgery appears conceptually simple, achieving consistent and durable outcomes requires meticulous attention to anatomy, biology, tunnel positioning, graft preparation, and fixation techniques. […]

PCL & PLC Injuries

Courtesy Dr Frank Noyes, Dr Ashok Shyam, Ortho TV   PCL and Posterolateral Corner Injuries Overview Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injuries are less common than ACL injuries but are often more technically demanding to diagnose and treat. These injuries frequently occur following high-energy trauma and are commonly associated with multiligament knee injuries. Associated injuries may […]

PLC Injuries

Courtesy Dr Brett Fritsch, Dr Ashok Shyam, Ortho TV   Posterolateral Corner (PLC) Injuries Overview The posterolateral corner (PLC) of the knee is a complex anatomical region consisting of multiple stabilizing structures. Historically, PLC injuries were considered difficult to diagnose and associated with poor outcomes. Improved understanding of anatomy, biomechanics, and reconstruction techniques has significantly […]

Topic: Current trends and debates in ACL management. Moderator: Dr. Sachin Tapasvi. Panelists: Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala, Dr. Bhushan Sabnis, Dr. Vikas Khanduja, Dr. Vikas Kapoor, Dr. Raju […]

Meniscal Repair Tips & Tricks

Courtesy Dr Dinshaw Pardiwala, Dr Ashok Shyam, Ortho TV   Meniscus Repair: Tips, Tricks, and Surgical Pearls Introduction Meniscus preservation has become a major priority in modern knee surgery. Increasing evidence shows that preserving meniscal tissue helps maintain joint biomechanics, reduces cartilage degeneration, and delays osteoarthritis progression. This discussion focuses on practical aspects of meniscus […]

Knee Arthroscopy, Hidden Lessons

Courtesy: Dr. Anant Joshi, Dr Ashok Shyam, Ortho TV   Hidden and Missed Lesions in Knee Arthroscopy Introduction Knee arthroscopy is one of the most commonly performed orthopedic procedures. Despite advances in arthroscopic techniques and imaging, important lesions may still be missed during surgery. These missed lesions can lead to persistent symptoms, failed reconstructions, recurrent […]

Tackling Anterior Knee Pain after ACLR

Courtesy: Dr Tamara Zweck, Dr Ashok Shyam, Ortho TV Management of Anterior Knee Pain Following ACL Reconstruction Incidence & Clinical Significance Affects up to 50% of patients after anterior cruciate ligament reconstruction (ACLR). Delays structured rehabilitation progression. Impairs functional knee mechanics. Prolongs and complicates the return-to-sport timeline. Etiology and Risk Factors 1. Surgical Factors Bone-Patellar […]
