Hyderabad’s First Arthroscopic Cartilage Repair Surgery Successfully Performed at KIMS-Sunshine Hospitals
At the Sunshine Bone and Joint Institute of KIMS-Sunshine Hospitals, Begumpet, we believe in giving patients more than just treatments. In a recent milestone that fills us with pride, our team successfully performed Hyderabad’s first arthroscopic cartilage repair surgery. This ground-breaking achievement reflects our commitment to pushing the boundaries of orthopaedic care.
A Life-Changing Procedure
This story began with our patient, a 25-year-old basketball player who came to us after a severe shoulder injury during a game. Unable to move his shoulder without pain, he faced not just physical limitations but an emotional burden too. Our team, led by Dr B. Chandra Shekhar, Chief of Shoulder Surgery, stepped in to change that narrative.
After a thorough diagnosis, we realised the extent of the cartilage damage. Instead of opting for traditional methods, which often come with prolonged recovery times, we chose the innovative ChondroFiller technology. This minimally invasive procedure allowed us to repair his shoulder cartilage with precision, paving the way for a faster and more complete recovery.
Unlike older techniques, the ChondroFiller approach is all about accuracy, quick healing, and reducing the risks of long-term complications like arthritis. For the patient, it means less downtime, less worry, and a greater chance of getting back to the court and his life sooner.
This breakthrough is more than a success for one patient; it’s a leap forward in what’s possible for everyone facing similar injuries.
The Importance of Acting Early
Dr. Chandra Shekhar shared an important message from this journey: “Shoulder injuries can often be dismissed, but ignoring them can lead to long-term complications. Early intervention is key to better outcomes.” For athletes and anyone dealing with joint pain or limited mobility, this serves as a reminder to seek expert help before it’s too late.

At Sunshine Bone and Joint Institute, KIMS-Sunshine Hospitals, our goal isn’t just to treat; it’s to transform lives.

More Than Medicine, It’s a Mission
