In a proud milestone for orthopaedic care, our expert team at Sunshine Bone and Joint Institute, successfully performed Hyderabad’s First Arthroscopic Cartilage Repair Surgery, marking a breakthrough in advanced joint preservation techniques.

The patient was a 25-year-old basketball player who suffered a severe shoulder injury during a game. Struggling with pain and limited mobility, his career and quality of life were at risk. Under the expertise of Dr B. Chandra Shekhar, Chief of Shoulder Surgery at SBJI, our team took charge of his recovery. A comprehensive diagnosis revealed significant cartilage damage. Instead of traditional methods that involve longer recovery times, we employed the cutting-edge ChondroFiller technology—a minimally invasive technique designed to restore damaged cartilage with precision. This approach ensured faster healing, reduced risks of complications like arthritis and an optimised recovery process, enabling the patient to return to the game sooner.”

Dr Chandra Shekhar emphasised the importance of timely diagnosis: “Shoulder injuries are often ignored, but delaying treatment can lead to long-term complications. Early intervention plays a crucial role in achieving the best outcomes.” For athletes and individuals suffering from joint pain or limited mobility, this is a reminder that seeking expert orthopaedic care early can prevent further damage and ensure a smooth recovery.

At Sunshine Bone and Joint Institute, our mission is not just to treat injuries but to transform lives.This breakthrough surgery reflects our dedication to doing things differently and doing them better.
