Sports injuries & arthroscopy
Knee, shoulder or ankle: find the care and rehabilitation guidance relevant to your injury.
Also treated: geriatric hip fractures (surgery within 24 hours wherever medically feasible) and spine conditions through a stepped care model, from conservative management to microdiscectomy when necessary.
Sub-millimetre precision with real-time 3D bone mapping. How the CORI system delivers a knee replacement tailored to your anatomy.
Day-by-day: what to expect from surgery through Day 7, pain management, early walking, and when to call your surgeon.
From protecting the graft in Month 1 through returning to competitive sport at 9 to 12 months.
Implant options, candidacy, and the surgical journey for conventional total knee replacement.
Anterior and posterior approaches, fixation options, and recovery timeline for total hip replacement.
Rotator cuff repair, Bankart and Latarjet for instability, frozen shoulder release, and SLAP repair.

Robotic joint replacement at Aster MIMS Kannur uses the CORI Surgical System for total knee replacement. The robot creates a real-time 3D map of the joint during surgery and guides implant positioning with sub-millimetre precision, tailored to your anatomy. The surgeon controls every step; the robot is a precision tool, not an autonomous system.
ACL tears and meniscal injuries destabilize the knee, preventing return to athletics. Dr. Vishnu Baburaj performs All-Inside Arthroscopic Reconstruction using anatomical tunnel placement and graft preservation techniques, followed by scientifically graded return-to-sport protocols.
Arthroscopy treats rotator cuff tears, shoulder instability, frozen shoulder, SLAP lesions, meniscal tears, cartilage injuries and ankle impingement through small keyhole portals. Most procedures are day-care or short-stay, with less pain and faster rehabilitation than open surgery.
Revision joint replacement is needed when a previous knee or hip implant loosens over time due to osteolysis or infection. Dr. Vishnu Baburaj uses Trabecular Metal augments and 3D-planned cones to reconstruct bone defects and restore joint stability, resulting in a pain-free joint that restores independence.
Pelvic fractures are life-altering injuries often resulting from high-energy impact. Inadequate fixation leads to permanent disability and arthritis. Dr. Vishnu Baburaj uses the Stoppa and Ilioinguinal approaches, minimally invasive anterior windows that allow for anatomical reduction of the joint surface, to restore hip biomechanics and enable early mobilization.
Yes. Infected non-unions and malunions can lead to chronic pain and loss of limb function. Dr. Vishnu Baburaj uses the Ilizarov ring fixator and biological stimulation techniques to eradicate infection and stimulate bone growth, achieving limb salvage and restoration of alignment.
Every treatment protocol is backed by 30+ peer-reviewed publications in international orthopedic journals.
