Orthopaedic Care at Sant Parmanand Hospital
Orthopaedic care covers conditions affecting bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, cartilage and muscles. Patients may
seek specialist help for arthritis, sports injuries, fractures, ligament tears, persistent joint pain, restricted movement
and problems that interfere with walking, work or everyday activities.
Delhi Arthroscopy identifies Dr. Shekhar Srivastav as an orthopaedic surgeon associated with the Orthopedics
Department at Delhi Institute of Trauma and Orthopaedics (DITO), Sant Parmanand Hospital. The practice
highlights knee and shoulder arthroscopy, ACL reconstruction, meniscus and cartilage surgery, rotator cuff repair,
shoulder stabilization, joint replacement and robotic knee replacement.
A hospital-based orthopaedic service can be valuable because diagnosis, surgery, anesthesia, nursing, imaging and
rehabilitation may be coordinated as part of a broader care pathway. Patients should confirm current services,

departments and appointment arrangements directly with the hospital or treating team.
About Dr. Shekhar Srivastav
The Delhi Arthroscopy website presents Dr. Shekhar Srivastav as a senior orthopaedic consultant with a focus on
knee and shoulder problems, arthroscopy and joint replacement. It identifies him as HOD of the Orthopedics
Department at DITO, Sant Parmanand Hospital.
The website states that he has 28 years of orthopaedic surgery experience and reports more than 20,000 total,
partial and revision knee replacement surgeries. It also describes extensive experience with arthroscopic ACL,
meniscus and cartilage procedures and shoulder arthroscopy, including Bankart and rotator cuff repair. These are
website-published practice claims and are not independently audited in this brochure.
Patients considering treatment should use a consultation to understand their own diagnosis, treatment alternatives,
expected benefits, risks and rehabilitation requirements. A professional profile can help patients understand a
surgeon's areas of practice, but it cannot determine whether a specific operation is appropriate for an individual.
What Is Orthopaedic Specialist Care?
An orthopaedic specialist evaluates conditions affecting the musculoskeletal system. The assessment usually
begins with a detailed history and physical examination. The clinician may then recommend imaging or other
investigations when they are needed.
The history can include the onset of pain, an injury mechanism, swelling, instability, stiffness, clicking or locking,
weakness and limitations in daily activity. The examination may assess movement, strength, joint stability, gait and
tenderness.
Treatment can range from observation and physiotherapy to medication, injections, braces, arthroscopy, ligament
reconstruction or joint replacement. The correct choice depends on the diagnosis and the patient's goals.
A major advantage of specialist consultation is the opportunity to connect symptoms with objective findings. An MRI
abnormality does not automatically mean that surgery is required, and significant symptoms can sometimes exist
even when imaging changes appear modest. Clinical judgment is therefore essential.
Knee Problems
Knee complaints are among the most common reasons for orthopaedic consultation. Possible causes include
osteoarthritis, meniscus tears, ligament injuries, cartilage problems, patellar disorders and trauma.
Symptoms may include pain, swelling, stiffness, clicking, locking or a feeling that the knee is giving way. The pattern
of symptoms can help the clinician determine which structures should be examined more closely.
X-rays are commonly useful for assessing arthritis, bone alignment and fractures. MRI can provide detailed
information about ligaments, menisci, cartilage and other soft tissues.
Treatment depends on the cause. Physiotherapy and activity modification can be helpful for many conditions.
Selected patients may benefit from arthroscopy or ligament reconstruction. Advanced arthritis may eventually
require partial or total knee replacement.
Patients should ask what the diagnosis means for their activities and whether non-operative treatment is a
reasonable first step.
Knee Arthroscopy
Knee arthroscopy is a keyhole technique that allows a surgeon to inspect and treat selected problems inside the
knee through small portals. Delhi Arthroscopy describes knee arthroscopy for ligament injuries, meniscus tears and
Delhi Arthroscopy • Sant Parmanand Orthopaedic Specialist Guide Page 3
cartilage injuries.
Arthroscopy may involve repair, reconstruction or removal of damaged tissue depending on the condition. Meniscus
repair, for example, is different from simply removing an unstable fragment. ACL reconstruction is also a
substantially different operation with a longer rehabilitation pathway.
The potential benefits of minimally invasive access can include smaller incisions and less disruption of surrounding
tissues. However, the overall recovery depends on what was done inside the joint. A repaired ligament or meniscus
needs biological healing even when the skin incisions are small.
Patients should ask why arthroscopy is being recommended, what the surgeon expects to find or treat, what
alternatives exist and what restrictions will apply after surgery.
ACL Reconstruction
The anterior cruciate ligament, or ACL, is an important stabilizer of the knee. Injuries often occur during sudden
stopping, pivoting, awkward landing or contact, especially in sports.
A patient with an ACL injury may experience a pop, rapid swelling, pain and instability. Some injuries can be
managed with rehabilitation, while selected patients with persistent instability or high activity demands may be
considered for reconstruction.
Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction usually replaces the damaged ligament with a graft and secures it within the knee.
Associated meniscus or cartilage injuries may also be addressed.
Recovery is progressive. Early rehabilitation commonly focuses on swelling control, restoring movement and
activating the quadriceps. Later stages involve strengthening, balance, running, jumping and sport-specific skills.
Return to sport should be based on functional recovery and clinical assessment rather than a simple date. Patients
should discuss graft options, associated injuries, expected restrictions and realistic return-to-activity goals.
Meniscus and Cartilage Treatment
The menisci help distribute load within the knee and contribute to joint stability. A tear may occur after a twisting
injury or through degenerative changes.
Not every meniscus tear requires surgery. Treatment depends on symptoms, tear location and pattern, tissue
quality, age, activity demands and associated joint disease. When repair is possible, preserving meniscal tissue
may be an important goal.
Cartilage injuries are also varied. Some defects are focal and potentially treatable, while widespread cartilage loss
can be associated with arthritis and may require a different strategy.
A consultation should clarify the exact structure involved and what the proposed treatment is expected to achieve.
Patients should ask whether repair, rehabilitation, observation or another approach is more appropriate.
After meniscus or cartilage procedures, rehabilitation restrictions can differ significantly, so patients should follow
the specific plan supplied by the surgical and physiotherapy team.
Shoulder Arthroscopy
The shoulder is a highly mobile joint stabilized by muscles, tendons, ligaments and the labrum. Shoulder
arthroscopy can be used for selected rotator cuff tears, labral injuries, recurrent instability, impingement and other
problems. Delhi Arthroscopy identifies shoulder arthroscopy as a major area of practice.
A small camera is introduced through a portal and specialized instruments can be inserted through additional
portals. The surgeon can inspect the joint and treat the identified problem.
Delhi Arthroscopy • Sant Parmanand Orthopaedic Specialist Guide Page 4
The recovery plan depends on the procedure. Rotator cuff repair often requires a protection phase before active
strengthening. Stabilization procedures also require protection while repaired tissues heal.
Not every shoulder MRI finding requires an operation. Symptoms, examination and functional limitations should be
considered alongside imaging.
Patients should ask whether physiotherapy is appropriate, what procedure is proposed if surgery is recommended
and how long it may take to regain useful shoulder function.
Rotator Cuff Repair
The rotator cuff consists of muscles and tendons that help move and stabilize the shoulder. Tears can occur after
trauma or through progressive degenerative changes.
Symptoms may include shoulder pain, night discomfort, weakness and difficulty lifting or rotating the arm. Diagnosis
typically combines the clinical examination with imaging when appropriate.
Delhi Arthroscopy describes arthroscopic rotator cuff repair using small incisions, a camera and specialized
instruments. Depending on the tear, the tendon may be stitched or reattached to bone using anchors.
Recovery is measured in months rather than days. A sling may be used initially to protect the repair, followed by
carefully progressed movement and strengthening. The exact plan depends on the size and location of the tear,
tissue quality and the surgical procedure performed.
Patients should not begin heavy lifting simply because the pain has improved. Tendon healing can continue after
symptoms have become much better.
Shoulder Instability and Bankart Repair
Recurrent shoulder dislocation or instability can damage the labrum and other stabilizing structures. A Bankart
lesion is commonly associated with anterior shoulder instability.
For selected patients, arthroscopic Bankart repair can restore the attachment of the labrum and improve stability.
Treatment decisions consider the patient's age, activity, number of dislocations, bone loss and associated injuries.
Rehabilitation generally begins with protecting the repair and gradually restoring movement. Strengthening and
sport-specific activity are added later.
Patients who repeatedly experience instability should seek specialist assessment rather than repeatedly treating
episodes as minor injuries. Recurrent dislocations can affect the joint and influence future treatment options.
A consultation should explain the structural problem, the purpose of stabilization, alternatives and the expected
timeline for return to work, gym activity and sport.
Sports Injury Management
Sports injuries can involve the ACL, meniscus, cartilage, rotator cuff, labrum and other structures. Delhi Arthroscopy
highlights sports-related arthroscopy and procedures involving the knee and shoulder.
The mechanism of injury is important. Twisting, sudden deceleration, awkward landing, direct impact or repetitive
overhead activity can point toward different structures.
A sports-focused consultation should identify not only the injury but also the patient's performance goals. A
recreational walker and a competitive footballer may need different rehabilitation targets.
Recovery should progress from basic movement and strength to increasingly demanding tasks. Return-to-sport
testing may include strength, balance, jumping, cutting, running and sport-specific drills.
Delhi Arthroscopy • Sant Parmanand Orthopaedic Specialist Guide Page 5
The objective is not simply to reduce pain. It is to restore the physical capacity required for the activity while
minimizing the risk of reinjury.
Joint Replacement
Joint replacement is different from arthroscopy. Instead of treating a specific internal lesion through small portals,
replacement surgery removes damaged joint surfaces and uses an implant to restore joint mechanics.
Delhi Arthroscopy describes total, partial and revision knee replacement as well as shoulder replacement.
Knee replacement is generally considered when advanced arthritis or other joint damage causes significant pain
and functional limitation despite appropriate non-operative management. A partial replacement may be suitable for
selected patients whose disease is limited to a particular compartment.
Shoulder replacement options depend on the condition of the joint and the rotator cuff. Total and reverse shoulder
replacement are different procedures with different indications.
Patients considering replacement should ask about the expected improvement, implant choice, surgical approach,
rehabilitation and long-term activity expectations.
Robotic Knee Replacement
The Delhi Arthroscopy website highlights robotic knee replacement and reports extensive use of the CUVIS robotic
system. It describes technology-assisted surgery as supporting precision, alignment and personalized planning.
Robotic assistance does not independently decide whether a patient needs a knee replacement. The underlying
diagnosis, symptoms, examination and patient goals remain central.
During consultation, patients can ask why robotic assistance is recommended, whether a total or partial
replacement is appropriate and how the technology changes the surgical workflow.
As with any major operation, robotic surgery carries potential risks and cannot guarantee a particular outcome.
Appropriate patient selection, surgical technique, hospital care and rehabilitation remain important.
Patients should also ask about recovery, physiotherapy, driving, work, stairs and the timing of return to normal
activities.
Conservative Orthopaedic Treatment
Surgery is only one part of orthopaedic care. Depending on the diagnosis, treatment may include physiotherapy,
exercise, activity modification, medication, braces or selected injections.
Physiotherapy can improve strength, flexibility, balance and movement control. In many non-traumatic conditions it
can be an important first-line treatment.
Activity modification does not necessarily mean stopping all exercise. It may mean temporarily reducing movements
that aggravate symptoms while maintaining safe conditioning.
Medication should be used according to professional advice, especially when a patient has other medical conditions
or takes other medicines.
If conservative treatment is recommended, patients should ask what improvement is expected, how progress will be
measured and when the plan should be reviewed. Persistent symptoms may require reassessment or a different
approach.
Diagnosis and Imaging
Delhi Arthroscopy • Sant Parmanand Orthopaedic Specialist Guide Page 6
Good orthopaedic treatment begins with accurate diagnosis. The clinician may combine history, physical
examination and imaging to determine which structures are involved.
X-rays are useful for fractures, alignment and arthritis. MRI is especially helpful for ligaments, tendons, menisci,
cartilage and other soft tissues. CT can provide detailed information about bone in selected situations.
Patients should bring previous imaging and reports when possible. Having the original images can allow comparison
and reduce unnecessary repeat testing.
It is important to remember that imaging findings are not always the source of pain. Many structural changes can
exist without symptoms. The most useful diagnosis is one that fits the patient's history, examination and imaging
together.
Rehabilitation and Physiotherapy
Rehabilitation is an essential component of orthopaedic care before and after surgery. It can improve movement,
strength, balance and confidence.
After ACL reconstruction, rehabilitation may progress from early movement and muscle activation to strengthening,
running and sport-specific drills. After rotator cuff repair, the tendon needs protection before more demanding
strengthening.
After knee replacement, rehabilitation commonly focuses on safe walking, movement, strength and independent
daily activity. Shoulder replacement requires a different progression focused on mobility and functional use.
Patients should follow their individualized rehabilitation plan. Generic online timelines should not be treated as
personal clearance for driving, heavy work or sport.
If an exercise produces unexpected severe pain, marked swelling or other concerning symptoms, patients should
contact the treating team for guidance.
Risks and Informed Consent
Arthroscopy and orthopaedic surgery are generally performed safely, but no operation is risk-free. Possible
complications can include infection, bleeding, blood clots, stiffness, nerve or blood-vessel injury, persistent pain,
failure of a repair or reconstruction and the need for further treatment.
The level of risk varies by procedure and patient. ACL reconstruction, rotator cuff repair and joint replacement each
have different risks and recovery requirements.
Before elective surgery, patients should understand the expected benefits, alternatives, important risks and
rehabilitation requirements. It is appropriate to ask for explanations of unfamiliar terms.
Technology such as arthroscopy or robotic assistance can support surgical care but does not guarantee a particular
result. The patient's diagnosis and overall treatment plan remain the foundation of care.
Patient safety reminder: Ask for procedure-specific risks, alternatives and expected recovery before
elective surgery.
How to Choose an Orthopedic Specialist
Patients comparing orthopaedic specialists can consider training, current clinical focus, experience with the specific
procedure, hospital support, imaging, anesthesia, rehabilitation and follow-up.
It is useful to ask how frequently the surgeon performs the exact operation being considered. Experience with knee
arthroscopy does not automatically equal identical experience with every shoulder procedure.
Delhi Arthroscopy • Sant Parmanand Orthopaedic Specialist Guide Page 7
Communication also matters. A good consultation should explain the diagnosis in understandable language and
outline reasonable options.
For a major elective operation, a second opinion can be reasonable when the patient remains uncertain. The goal
should be an appropriate, evidence-informed treatment decision rather than choosing surgery because it sounds
advanced.
Patients should also confirm current professional credentials, appointment arrangements and hospital details
directly with the provider.
Preparing for an Orthopaedic Consultation
Bring previous X-rays, MRI or CT images and reports. If you have undergone surgery before, bring the operation
note and discharge summary if available.
Prepare a brief timeline of the problem: when symptoms started, whether an injury occurred, what treatment has
been tried and what activities are now difficult.
Bring a list of current medicines, allergies and important medical conditions.
Write down your main goals. You may want to return to sport, walk without pain, sleep comfortably, work normally or
regain shoulder strength. Clear goals help the clinician explain what treatment is designed to achieve.
Useful questions include: What is the diagnosis? Is surgery necessary? What alternatives exist? What are the risks?
How long will rehabilitation take? When can I drive, work, exercise or play sport? Where will the procedure be
performed?
Preparation tip: Bring previous imaging files as well as written reports when available.

When Urgent Medical Assessment Is Needed
A routine orthopaedic appointment is not appropriate for every situation. Severe trauma, obvious deformity,
suspected fracture or dislocation, inability to bear weight after major injury, rapidly increasing swelling or new loss of
sensation or circulation may require urgent assessment.
After surgery, patients should contact the treating team promptly for concerning symptoms such as fever, increasing
wound redness or drainage, severe worsening pain, significant swelling or new neurological symptoms.
Chest pain, severe breathlessness, collapse or other life-threatening symptoms require emergency medical
attention.
The clinic phone number is intended for appointment and routine communication. Patients with urgent or
life-threatening symptoms should use an appropriate emergency service.
Conclusion
Sant Parmanand Hospital is presented by Delhi Arthroscopy as a setting associated with specialized orthopaedic
care, including knee and shoulder arthroscopy, sports injury treatment and joint replacement.
Dr. Shekhar Srivastav is presented on the first-party website as an orthopaedic surgeon with a focus on knee and
shoulder problems, arthroscopy, ACL reconstruction, meniscus and cartilage surgery, shoulder stabilization, rotator
cuff repair and joint replacement.
Patients considering consultation should gather their imaging and medical history, describe their symptoms clearly
and ask about diagnosis, alternatives, risks and rehabilitation.
The most important principle is individualized care. A website can explain procedures and introduce a specialist, but
only a clinical assessment can determine the appropriate treatment for a particular patient.
