Hyderabad, India; November 26, 2024: The Division of Shoulder Surgery at the Sunshine Bone and Joint Institute, KIMS-Sunshine Hospitals, Begumpet, has achieved a groundbreaking milestone in advanced orthopedic care. For the first time in Hyderabad, the team successfully performed arthroscopic cartilage repair surgery on a 25-year-old man who sustained a shoulder injury while playing basketball.
The patient had been experiencing severe pain and restricted mobility after the injury, leading him to seek specialized care at KIMS-Sunshine Hospitals. The hospital’s expert team, led by Dr. B. Chandra Sekar, Chief of Shoulder Surgery, identified significant cartilage damage and opted for a minimally invasive and advanced approach: arthroscopic cartilage repair using the revolutionary Chondro Filler technology.
Commenting on the achievement, Dr. B. Chandra Sekar said, “Cartilage repair in the shoulder is among the most complex challenges in orthopedic surgery due to the intricate nature of the joint. Traditional treatments were often limited, leading to prolonged recovery and incomplete healing. With advancements in arthroscopic surgery and cutting-edge technology like ChondroFiller, we can now precisely repair cartilage defects, ensuring faster recovery and better patient outcomes. This marks a significant milestone for KIMS-Sunshine Hospitals and the city of Hyderabad.”
Dr. B. Chandra Sekar also addressed the importance of timely medical intervention for shoulder injuries. “Many patients with shoulder dislocations delay seeking medical care, assuming their symptoms will resolve on their own. Unfortunately, untreated or poorly managed dislocations can cause cartilage defects, leading to irreversible damage such as shoulder arthritis. Early intervention is essential to preserving joint function and preventing long-term complications.”
The success of this pioneering procedure highlights KIMS-Sunshine Hospitals’ commitment to delivering world-class orthopedic care. With state-of-the-art facilities and a team of leading specialists, the hospital has established itself as a center of excellence for treating complex joint conditions, including shoulder injuries.
Dr. B. Chandra Sekar further emphasized the need for awareness among athletes and the general public. “Shoulder injuries are common among active individuals. Symptoms like pain, restricted movement, or recurrent dislocations should never be ignored. Consulting a specialist early ensures accurate diagnosis and timely treatment, which can make a significant difference in achieving a full recovery and preventing long-term issues.”
This achievement underscores the hospital’s leadership in orthopedic innovation and its dedication to improving patient outcomes through advanced surgical techniques.
