A torn ligament can turn everyday movement into a struggle, leaving the knee, shoulder or ankle feeling unstable and prone to giving way. Ligaments are the strong bands of tissue that hold your joints together, and when they tear from a sports injury, a fall or a road accident, timely treatment matters. At Prakash Hospital in Noida, Dr. Mayank Chauhan evaluates each injury carefully to decide whether the ligament can be repaired, reconstructed or managed without surgery.
Dr. Mayank Chauhan is a senior orthopaedic and sports surgeon with more than 15 years of experience and an international fellowship in arthroscopy and ligament surgery. He has performed thousands of joint procedures, including ACL and PCL reconstruction, rotator cuff repair and ankle ligament surgery. Most of these are done arthroscopically through small keyhole incisions, which means less pain, smaller scars and a quicker return to work and sport.
Whether you are a cricketer or footballer with a knee injury, an office worker with a stiff painful shoulder, or someone recovering from a twisted ankle, the goal is the same: a stable, confident joint that lets you move freely again. Patients across Noida, Greater Noida and the wider Delhi-NCR region choose Dr. Mayank Chauhan for clear advice, modern surgical technique and a structured rehabilitation plan that supports lasting results.
Most ligament tears are treated arthroscopically through small keyhole incisions.
Common procedures include ACL, PCL, MCL, rotator cuff and ankle ligament repair.
Surgery is followed by a guided, phase-wise physiotherapy programme.
Dr. Mayank Chauhan brings 15+ years of experience and an international fellowship to every case.
Dr. Mayank Chauhan treats the full range of ligament injuries affecting the knee, shoulder and ankle.
The anterior cruciate ligament is commonly torn during sports involving sudden turns, pivots or landing. A torn ACL often causes the knee to feel loose or give way and usually needs reconstruction to restore stability.
The posterior cruciate ligament is often injured in road accidents or a direct blow to the front of a bent knee. Depending on severity, it is managed with bracing and rehabilitation or with surgical reconstruction.
The collateral ligaments on the inner and outer sides of the knee are usually injured by a sideways force. Many partial tears heal with bracing, while severe or combined injuries may require repair or reconstruction.
The rotator cuff is a group of shoulder tendons and ligaments that can tear with age, heavy lifting or a fall. Tears cause shoulder pain and weakness and are often repaired arthroscopically.
Repeated sprains can stretch or tear the ligaments on the outer side of the ankle, leading to chronic instability. When physiotherapy is not enough, the ligaments can be tightened or reconstructed surgically.
High-energy injuries can damage more than one ligament along with the meniscus or cartilage. These complex cases need careful planning and staged or combined surgery for the best outcome.
The torn ACL is replaced with a graft passed through small keyhole incisions using a camera and specialised instruments. This minimally invasive approach restores knee stability with less pain and a faster recovery than open surgery.
Repair stitches the torn ligament back together and suits certain fresh, well-located tears. Reconstruction uses a graft to rebuild the ligament and is preferred when the tissue is too damaged to heal, as is usually the case with the ACL.
Grafts may be taken from the patient's own hamstring or patellar tendon, or a donor graft may be used in selected cases. Dr. Mayank Chauhan discusses the pros and cons of each option so the choice fits your age, activity level and goals.
Torn shoulder tendons are reattached to the bone using small anchors placed through keyhole portals. This technique relieves pain, restores strength and allows a smoother rehabilitation.
Loose or torn ankle ligaments are tightened or rebuilt to correct chronic instability. The procedure helps patients walk and play with confidence and reduces the risk of repeated sprains.
Every procedure is planned individually, but most arthroscopic ligament surgeries follow a similar pathway.
Detailed clinical examination along with X-rays and MRI to confirm the tear and rule out associated damage.
A discussion of repair versus reconstruction, graft choice and the expected recovery so you can make an informed decision.
Anaesthesia is given, then small keyhole incisions are made and a camera is inserted to view the joint clearly.
The damaged ligament is repaired or replaced with a graft, which is then fixed securely with anchors or screws.
The incisions are closed, a dressing or brace is applied, and most patients go home the same day or the next day.
Early physiotherapy is started under guidance to protect the repair and begin restoring movement.
First 2 weeks: rest, ice, swelling control and gentle movement, often with a brace and crutches as advised.
Weeks 2 to 6: progressive physiotherapy to regain range of motion and start light strengthening.
Weeks 6 to 12: focused muscle strengthening, balance work and gradual return to daily activities.
3 to 6 months: sport-specific training and agility drills as the joint regains full strength.
Return to sport, usually around 6 to 9 months for ACL reconstruction, only after clearance from Dr. Mayank Chauhan.
More than 15 years of dedicated experience in orthopaedic and sports ligament surgery.
International fellowship training in arthroscopy and advanced ligament reconstruction.
Thousands of joint procedures performed, including complex and multi-ligament cases.

At Prakash Hospital, Noida, we use the latest minimally invasive procedures and modern technology to reduce recovery time and improve surgical precision, supported by dedicated rehabilitation from diagnosis through complete recovery.
No, many partial tears such as some MCL or ankle ligament injuries heal well with bracing and physiotherapy. Surgery is usually advised when the joint remains unstable, the tear is complete, or you want to return to demanding sport. Dr. Mayank Chauhan recommends surgery only after a careful examination and scans.
Repair stitches the original torn ligament back together and works for certain fresh tears. Reconstruction rebuilds the ligament using a graft and is preferred when the tissue is too damaged to heal, as is common with the ACL. The right choice depends on the ligament involved and the nature of the tear.
The surgery itself is done under anaesthesia, so you do not feel pain during the procedure. Because keyhole surgery uses very small incisions, post-operative pain is usually mild and well controlled with medication. Most patients are pleasantly surprised by how manageable the recovery feels.
Daily activities usually resume within a few weeks, while full strength and balance take a few months of physiotherapy. Return to competitive sport typically takes around six to nine months. Following your rehabilitation plan closely is the single most important factor for a good outcome.
Yes, many patients begin walking with support within a day or two, depending on the procedure and the surgeon's advice. A brace and crutches may be used initially to protect the repair. Dr. Mayank Chauhan guides you on how much weight to put on the joint at each stage.

Essential tips for joint care, injury prevention, and post-surgery recovery
Maintaining healthy joints requires regular low-impact exercise, proper nutrition, and weight management. Strengthening the muscles around your joints provides better support and reduces wear over time.
Warm up before physical activities, use proper form during exercise, and wear appropriate protective gear. Early attention to minor aches can prevent them from becoming serious orthopaedic conditions.
Follow your rehabilitation plan consistently, attend all follow-up appointments, and communicate any concerns with your doctor. Patience and commitment to physical therapy are key to optimal recovery outcomes.
