From Shoulder Pain to Shoulder Gain

  • Do you feel tenderness in your shoulders while moving your arms?
  • Is your upper arm and shoulder not rotating and moving easily after an injury?
  • Do you feel weakness in your arms while lifting, carrying objects, or doing daily activities?

Do you feel uncomfortable while you are playing because your shoulder feels sore and makes a popping sound? Are the pain relievers or physiotherapy not decreasing your pain despite continuous use? Let your pain fade away with our Bicep Tenodesis in Islamabad, which will help you reestablish your shoulder strength and make the movements easy for you.

Bicep Tenodesis in Islamabad– Rebuild Your Strength

Bicep tendons are a strong structure in the bicep that connects the upper arm to the shoulders. These muscles are responsible for arm and shoulder movement. Repetitive movements and any incident, like a fall or injury, can cause these tendons to tear. The damaged tendons then impact the mobility, shoulder rotation, or weaken the muscles in the upper arm and shoulder, making them stiff and sore.

Bicep tenodesis is a surgical procedure that is designed to treat the tears in the tendons of the shoulder and SLAP tears. It works by detaching the impaired tendon from your labrum and reattaching it to the upper arm bone, removing the damaged part.

Causes of Bicep Tears:

  • Lifting heavy objects
  • Tears in the shoulder cartilage
  • Falling on an outstretched arm
  • Forcefully twisting the elbow
  • Repetitive motion 
  • Age factor weakening the tendons

Types of Bicep Tear:

Partial tears:

  • This is the type of injury that affects a part of the tendon but does not completely detach it from the bone.

Proximal tears:

  • It occurs at the shoulder joint, often associated with rotator cuff injury or degenerative changes.

   Complete tears:

  • In this tear, the bicep tendon is completely detached from the bone, either from the shoulder or the elbow.

 Distal tears:

  • This can happen at the elbow, where the tendon is partially or completely detached from the bone.

Aims of Bicep Tenodesis:

The shoulder tear treatment strives to provide.

  • Better shoulder mobility 
  • Stabilizes the shoulder joint
  • Repairs the SLAP tears 
  • Relocated the slipped tendons

Expected Results of Biceps Tenodesis:

The healing timeline for bicep tear surgery is around 4-6 months. In the first week, the arm may be tied using a support to maintain the correct position of the bone. After that, you may be advised to continue minor movements under the supervision of a physiotherapist. You will return to normal activities 6 months post-surgery once you feel the strength in your bicep. The recuperation period is time taking but you should properly manage and maintain the treated area.

Benefits of Bicep Tenodesis:

Bicep tear repair surgery addresses issues in the shoulder and elbow and provides multiple benefits:

  • Releases pain and unease caused by the injury
  • Enhances mobility and functioning
  • Improves the strength of the biceps
  • Prevent further damage 
  • Corrects the ruptured Popeye 
  • Heals the SLAP tear

Procedure for Humerus Biceps Tendon Fixation:

The bicep tenodesis surgery is commonly performed using the technique of arthroscopy. A step-by-step process for the surgery is as follows;

Steps 

Process
Numbing  The treated site is numbed before the start of the procedure for less discomfort.
Positioning  The patient is positioned in such a way that their affected arm can fit into the special arm holder.
Arthroscopy  A tiny opening is made on the shoulder through which a camera is inserted to evaluate the affected area and surroundings.
Tenotomy  The damaged part is then removed from the lebrum.
Preparation  Another incision is made under the arm to prepare the bone for the fixation.
Tenodesis The healthy tendon is secured to the humerus with the help of a screw or suture anchors.
Closure The incision is closed with sutures or stitches, and the arm is then secured with the help of a sling.

Post Care for Bicep tenodesis:

  • Limit arm movement for 4-6
  • Apply cold compresses for swelling and soreness
  • Keep the treated area clean and dry

Bringing Back Smooth, Pain-Free Movement

  • Is the stiffness around your knee limiting your daily activities and workout routine?
  • Do you hear a grinding and cracking sound with every slight knee movement?
  • Is the persistent knee ache and swelling getting worse with physiotherapy and medications? 
  • Are you avoiding your favourite sports because of the swelling and soreness in your knees? 

Does your knee feel unstable while walking and running? Is it becoming harder for you to kneel and bend your legs because of the unease and discomfort in your knees? Leave your patella concerns to us, and get rid of the unease and instability in your knees with our Cartilage restoration treatment in Islamabad.

Cartilage restoration in Islamabad: Repair. Restore. Rejoice

Cartilage restoration is an approach designed to rebuild the destroyed cushion tissues in the joint. Cartilage works as a shock absorber that prevents the rubbing of joints and reduces friction between them, making them stable. However, in some traumatic incidents, these cushions may get affected and lose their strength.

Cartilage repair therapy helps relieve the discomfort and fix the movements, making them stable and functional again.

Factors Leading to Cartilage Deterioration:

  • Aging 
  • Traumatic injuries 
  • Vitamin D deficiency 
  • Lack of movement
  • Increased body mass
  • Incorrect leg axis 

Key Purposes of Cartilage Reconstruction:

The knee cartilage restoration therapy strives to deliver.

  • Build worn-out or impaired cushion tissue 
  • Alleviate the ache induced by cartilage defects 
  • Improve pivot point functionality 
  • Prevent osteoarthritis and degeneration
  • Prevent the need for joint replacement 

Expected Outcomes of Cartilage Restoration Process:

The recuperation duration for a cartilage restoration therapy is based on the approach used for the reconstruction. Generally, the treated area can heal in several weeks to months. You can resume your normal physical activities six months post-surgery, but for a complete comeback to your daily routine and sports, you should wait at least a year or more until the recuperation is done. Recuperation may be affected by the patient’s age, immunity, and general health condition of any patient.

Advantages of Undergoing Cartilage Restoration:

  • Decreases the unease and soreness in the knees
  • Allow flexible movements of the joint 
  • Customisable approach 
  • Facilitates immobility, swelling, and discomfort 
  • Enhance overall physical health 
  • Faster improvements and rarer complications

Eligibility Criteria for Cartilage Restoration Treatment

  • Isolated regions of cartilage damage
  • Persistent Joint Pain
  • Aged below 50
  • Persistent BMI
  • Possesses stable articulation
  • Capable of following strict physiotherapy afterwards

Techniques for Cartilage Restoration Therapy:

Multiple techniques are used for the restoration and repair of damaged cartilage.

Approaches

Mechanism 

Recovery period

Microfracture

 A process where small openings are made in the knees that helps in transferring the bone marrow to the defective region.

It helps build fibrocartilage, which will boost the body’s regenerative capability.

Useful for little damage and small injuries.

 You can get back to sports and normal movements in 6-12 months.

Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation(ACI)

 The healthy articular cartilage is extracted from the body of the same person being treated.

These cells are expanded in the laboratory.

An open surgery is performed, and then the impaired cushion tissue is removed, and new healthy tissue is extracted and fixed in its place.

It is then secured by a biodegradable membrane.

Suitable for people with acute damage.

 Takes 9-12  months.

Osteochondral Autograft Transplantation

 Joint endoscopy is carried out to evaluate the extent of the impairment and to extract the defective tissue.

Osteochondral plugs are taken out from the less axial loading spot of the joint.

Punctures are created at the damaged site with the help of drilling.

The extracted plugs are then implanted and fitted into the donor site.

 Takes 6-9 months with starting early motion to lessen the risk of hardening.

Matrix-Induced Autologous Chondrocyte Implantation

 This process works the same as ACI, in which healthy cartilage is taken out from the patient’s knee.

In the second step, porcine collagen bilayer is embedded with the expanded chondrocytes. 

It is then secured with fibrin glue.

 You can start light activities in 4-6 months, but for a complete recovery, you can take 9-12 months.

Stem Cell Therapy

 Stem cells are introduced from a donor or the individual’s body.

These can differentiate into various cell types and then be used for the injured part.

It encourages renewal and restoration.

 Heals in 4-6 months.

Osteochondral Allograft Transplantation

 In this approach, an allograft is received from a donor, neutralized, and then cut according to the affected area’s needs.

The surgeon will adjust the allograft at the specified area.  

These are then stabilized in the area. 

The incision is closed, and a dressing is applied to the area.

 9-12 months as ACI and MACI.

Successful Cartilage Repair– Pre and Post Guidelines:

Specific guidelines are mandatory before and after therapy to achieve a higher impact outcome after the therapy.

Pre Care:

  • A comprehensive medical assessment for evaluation of the health condition and imaging(MRI, X-ray) to see the extent and area of the injury.
  • To enhance the operation outcomes, decrease body mass.
  • Steer clear of blood-thinning medications.
  • Manage to get pre-op physiotherapy for muscle strength and maintaining mobility.
  • Make sure you do not have any active body infections.

  Post Care:

  • Take prescribed pain killers and use ice packs for swelling.
  • For techniques like microfracture, ACI & MCI, you are restricted to bear weight for 6-8 weeks. 
  • Use knee braces if asked and take precautions to prevent stiffness in the joint.
  • Start immediate light physio for strengthening and continue for 3-12 months as advised.
  • Keep the wound clean and dry.

Cartilage Restoration Therapy Cost and Pricing Details:

The exact cost for cartilage restoration cannot be defined. Your physician can tell you the exact cost tailored to your needs and the expected outcome. But the overall cartilage restorative process costs around 299,999 PKR– 1199,999 PKR. The cost can vary depending on the technique used and multiple factors that have an impact on the therapy. 

Cost contributing factors:

  • Technique used 
  • Extent of Cartilage Damage
  • Donor cost 
  • Pre-operative Imaging 
  • Anesthesia cost
  • Post-operative Rehabilitation

FAQ’s

While cartilage restoration can significantly enhance joint function and delay arthritis progression, outcomes depend on patient age, defect size, and rehabilitation adherence.
Recovery varies with the approach but generally involves limited weight-bearing for 6-8 weeks, followed by physiotherapy. Full recovery can take 4-12 months.
Risks include infection, blood clots, graft failure, joint stiffness, or incomplete healing.
Many patients return to low-impact activities within months and higher-impact sports after full recovery, depending on healing and the surgeon's advice.
Untreated cartilage damage can worsen over time, leading to increased pain, stiffness, reduced mobility, and eventually osteoarthritis.
Cartilage has a very limited healing capacity because it lacks a blood supply. Small injuries might not cause symptoms, but larger defects often need surgical intervention for proper repair.
The duration depends on the technique used, but generally ranges from 45 minutes to 2 hours.
Yes, physiotherapy is important for regaining stability, range of motion, and ensuring the success of the procedure.
Results vary by patient and procedure, but many experience benefits lasting several years, especially with good post-operative care and activity modification.
Glucosamine Sulfate, Chondroitin Sulfate, Omega-3 Fatty Acids (Fish Oil), Vitamin D, Vitamin C, Collagen (Type II Collagen) can be included in daily life to strengthen or build cartilage.

Move Freely. Live Fully. Repair Your Meniscus.

  • Do you hear clicking sounds from your knees while sitting that make you uncomfortable?
  • Is it hard for you to sit on the ground or bend your knees properly because your knees are stiff?
  • Are you struggling with doing your workouts or playing games because of the damaged meniscus?
  • Is the swelling around your knees not going away despite using a lot of medicines?

Are you worried about your swollen and stiff knee that makes it hard for you to move with ease? Do you think you might lose balance because your knee gets unstable suddenly while walking? Let us make it easy for you to roam freely without any worry about your knees being stiff and sore with our meniscus repair surgery in Islamabad. 

Meniscus Repair Surgery in Islamabad:

The meniscus works as a cushion between the thighbone and the shinbone, which helps protect the knee joint while walking or running. The cushion works as a shock absorber to minimize instability and prevent injuries. Some unexpected events, like falling, sports injury, or an accident, might affect the working of the meniscus, causing the knee to swell, harden, and become sore, limiting the knee’s movement.

Meniscus repair therapy is the process of repairing the torn or impaired knee meniscus without the need to remove the meniscus. It works by reconstructing the torn pieces back together. It is beneficial for long-term knee health, reducing the risk of prolonged knee damage and osteoarthritis. This technique is usually recommended for tears in the outer region of the cartilage that has a sufficient blood supply and excellent healing potential.

Effects of Meniscus Tear:

  • Intense Knee pain 
  • Knee joint narrowing
  • Swelling 
  • Trouble in bending and straightening
  • Movement Restrictions
  • Knocking sensation

Therapeutic Goals of Meniscus Injury Repair:

The meniscus repair approach strives to give significant improvements, like;

  • Controls and manages the stiffness and ache 
  • Regains complete mobility in the knee, allowing free motion
  • Reestablishes the control and strength of related muscles
  • Promote balance and coordination
  • Reduce the risk of long-term diseases like cartilage wear and osteoarthritis 

Meniscus Repair: Predicted Healing and Functional Outcomes

Meniscus repair therapy is a 30-minute to 1-hour-long procedure that heals in approximately 6-8 weeks, allowing for subtle knee movement, like weight bearing and light physiotherapy. In the first two weeks, the knee is kept in a brace locked in extension to protect the repairing site. Complete return to normal activities like playing sports, weight bearing, and running can be continued after a year post-operation. It offers subtle enhancements to the damaged area, but the outcomes can last for a longer period if maintained properly.

Benefits of Meniscus Repair Surgery:

Knee cartilage repair can be beneficial in multiple ways, providing you with relief and ease in your daily life and improving the quality of life.

  • Preserves Knee Cartilage

  • Medically fit and healthy 
  • Have persistent knee pain and swelling
