Soft Tissue Reconstruction Surgery

Soft tissue reconstruction surgery is done to correct and rehabilitate injured muscles, tendons, and ligaments as a result of trauma, sports, or degenerative joint disease. Soft tissue injuries around the knee, shoulder, elbow, and ankle are quite frequent and necessitate accurate surgical restoration for better recuperation. The goal of soft tissue reconstruction is to achieve recovery of strength, stability, and function , along with avoiding late complications.

Soft Tissue Reconstruction Orthopaedic Surgery at Marengo Asia Hospitals

At Marengo Asia Hospitals, our specialists are well-trained in soft tissue reconstruction surgery with the latest methods, such as minimally invasive surgery, tissue grafting, and intensive physiotherapy programs for complete rehabilitation. Our advanced facilities enable quicker recovery, less scarring, and better patient outcomes. The Times of India Health Survey has identified Marengo Asia Hospitals, Gurugram, as the best in orthopaedics, further demonstrating our excellence in patient care and state-of-the-art surgical methods.

Why is Soft Tissue Reconstruction Necessary?

Soft tissue reconstruction surgery is necessary for the following reasons: 

  • Restores Stability and Strength: Helps regain the original function of the damaged tissue.
  • Prevents Further Deterioration: Reduces the risk of long-term joint and muscular complications.
  • Minimally Invasive Approach: Ensures reduced pain, minimal scarring, and faster recovery.
  • Enhances Mobility: Improves joint movement and flexibility, enabling a return to daily activities and sports.

Types of Soft Tissue Reconstruction Surgeries Offered at Marengo Asia Hospitals

1. Knee Soft Tissue Reconstruction

Knee soft tissue injuries entail injury to ligaments, tendons, or cartilage, leading to pain, instability, and reduced mobility. Such injuries require reconstruction surgery when they are seriously injured or torn, particularly if conservative measures (such as physical therapy or bracing) fail to provide relief. Our procedures include:

  • Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction
  • Posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) reconstruction
  • Medial collateral ligament (MCL) repair
  • Meniscus repair and transplantation
  • Tendon repair (patellar and quadriceps tendons)

Benefits:

  • Restores knee function and stability
  • Reduces pain and risk of future injury
  • Enables early return to physical activity

    2. Shoulder Soft Tissue Reconstruction
    Shoulder soft tissue injuries are prevalent among athletes and people who engage in repetitive overhead movements, including lifting, throwing, or swimming. Injuries to the ligaments, tendons, or cartilage can cause pain, instability, and restricted movement of the shoulder. Reconstruction surgery is required when conservative management in the form of rest, physical therapy, and medication does not work. Our procedures include:

      • Rotator cuff repair
      • Labral repair (Bankart and SLAP tears)
      • Tendon transfers for irreparable injuries
      • Ligament reconstruction for shoulder instability

      Benefits:

      • Enhances shoulder mobility and strength
      • Reduces pain and risk of dislocations
      • Prevents progression to arthritis


      3. Wrist and Elbow Soft Tissue Reconstruction

      Elbow and wrist injuries occur in athletes, workers, and individuals who repeat movements of the arm and hand. Injuries in these areas impact tendons, ligaments, and cartilage, resulting in pain, instability, and decreased motion. After nonoperative interventions such as rest, bracing, and physical therapy are ineffective, surgery involving soft tissue reconstruction may be performed. Our procedures include:

      • Ulnar collateral ligament (UCL) reconstruction (Tommy John Surgery)
      • Tendon repairs for tennis elbow and golfer’s elbow
      • Ligament reconstructions for wrist instability

      Benefits:

      • Restores joint stability and range of motion
      • Reduces pain and stiffness
      • Enhances strength and durability of the joint

      4. Ankle Soft Tissue Reconstruction

      Ankle injuries, often caused by sports, trauma, or overuse, can lead to ligament tears, tendon damage, and chronic instability. When conservative treatments like bracing, physical therapy, and medication fail, soft tissue reconstruction surgery may be necessary to restore function, stability, and mobility. Our procedures include:

      • Lateral ankle ligament reconstruction
      • Achilles tendon repair
      • Peroneal tendon repair and reconstruction

      Benefits:

      • Prevents chronic ankle instability
      • Reduces pain and improves mobility
      • Enhances long-term joint function
      FAQ'S

      Soft tissue injuries are usually diagnosed with clinical examination and imaging studies like MRI and ultrasound to evaluate ligament, tendon, and muscle injury.

      Treatment is based on the extent of the injury. Mild injuries can be treated with rest, physiotherapy, and medicines, whereas severe injuries need surgical treatment such as reconstruction or grafting.

      The duration of the surgery depends on the complexity of the injury but is usually between 1 and 3 hours.

      Recovery may take anywhere from 3 to 6 months, depending on the extent of the injury, the surgery, and compliance with rehabilitation guidelines.

      Yes, physiotherapy plays a vital role in the recovery of strength, flexibility, and function following surgery. It facilitates faster and better return to sports and everyday activities.

      Delayed treatment may result in chronic pain, joint instability, and higher arthritic risk. Early treatment facilitates faster recovery as well as improved functional outcomes.

      Marengo Asia Hospitals has state-of-the-art surgical techniques, skilled orthopaedic surgeons, and customized rehabilitation programs. Our minimally invasive surgery results in quicker recovery, reduced postoperative pain, and long-term joint health.

      Deep tissue reconstruction is a specific procedure employed to restore muscles, ligaments, and tendons in acute trauma or degenerative disease. It is usually needed in the case of sporting injuries, post-traumatic deficiencies, or failed prior operations.

      Soft tissue restoration is centred on non-surgical and minimally invasive methods, including regenerative medicine, PRP (Platelet-Rich Plasma) therapy, and physiotherapy, to facilitate healing. Reconstruction, however, is a surgical process for serious cases involving structural repair.
