Kauvery Hospital Vadapalani Launches Kauvery-SAC, Redefining Joint Care in Chennai
Chennai: Kauvery Hospital Vadapalani has unveiled Kauvery-SAC, a dedicated Sports Medicine and Arthroscopy Centre, setting a new benchmark in advanced orthopaedic care for the city. The centre offers cartilage regenerative therapy for young, active individuals, providing cutting-edge solutions to preserve and restore joint health at an early stage.
Arthroscopy: A Game-Changer in Joint Treatment
Arthroscopy, a procedure performed through keyhole incisions using high-definition 3D cameras and specialized instruments, has revolutionized orthopaedics worldwide. With over 5 million arthroscopic procedures performed annually globally, it offers patients up to 50% faster recovery compared to open surgeries, with lower complication rates. Despite its advantages, awareness in India remains limited, often being associated only with elite athletes.
Changing Perception and Improving Accessibility
Kauvery Vadapalani aims to change this perception by making arthroscopy accessible to anyone with persistent joint pain, instability, or injuries, from young athletes to the elderly. According to Dr. Ravi Sankar Kirubanandan, Senior Consultant Orthopaedics at Kauvery Hospital Vadapalani, “Arthroscopy allows us to treat conditions such as ACL tears, rotator cuff injuries, and meniscus damage with minimal intervention and the fastest rehabilitation. The patients get to walk and return to normalcy in 6 hours.”
Comprehensive Care and World-Class Technology
Dr. Aravindan Selvaraj, Executive Director and Co-founder, Kauvery Group of Hospitals, stated that the launch of Kauvery-SAC is part of their broader vision to build true centres of excellence. The centre combines advanced technology, expert clinicians, and personalized rehabilitation, ensuring Chennai has a world-class hub for arthroscopy.
Strengthening Chennai’s Sporting and Healthcare Ecosystem
Indian cricketer Sai Kishore, who inaugurated the launch event, emphasized the importance of accessible sports medicine, saying, “Arthroscopy and sports medicine together can change lives, and I believe this centre will play a huge role in strengthening Chennai’s sporting and healthcare ecosystem.” With this launch, Kauvery Hospital Vadapalani strengthens its position as the city’s trusted destination for arthroscopy and joint care, bringing global standards of treatment to local communities.
