Knee pain can be caused by:
Arthritis — including rheumatoid arthritis, osteoarthritis, and gout.
Baker’s cyst — a fluid-filled swelling behind the knee that may accompany inflammation from other causes, like arthritis .
Bursitis — inflammation from repeated pressure on the knee, such as kneeling for long periods of time, overuse, or injury Connective tissue disorders such as lupus.
Dislocation of the kneecap
Iliotibial band syndrome — a hip disorder related to injury of the thick band that runs from your hip to the outside of your knee.
Infection in the joint Knee injuries— an anterior cruciate ligament injury or medial collateral ligament injury may cause bleeding into your knee, which makes the pain worse.
Tendinitis — a pain in the front of your knee that gets worse when going up and down stairs or inclines.
Torn cartilage (a meniscus tear) — pain felt on the inside or outside of the knee joint.

SHOULDER PAIN
Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure in which an arthroscope is inserted into a joint. Arthroscopy is a term that comes from two Greek words, arthro-, meaning joint, and -skopein, meaning to examine. The benefits of arthroscopy involve smaller incisions, faster healing, a more rapid recovery, and less scarring. Arthroscopic surgical procedures are often performed on an outpatient basis and the patient is able to return home on the same day.
Knee arthroscopy
Knee arthroscopy involves the use of specialised instruments to look inside the knee through small incisions over the skin.
The knee is a complex joint consisting of numerous ligaments which hold the joint together, and cartilage which reduces friction at the joint surface.
Injury to any of the structures within the knee can necessitate a knee arthroscopy
Shoulder arthroscopy
The shoulder is a highly mobile joint and provides a wide range of movements. Hence, it is prone to injury, especially in athletes participating in throwing sports, eg. cricket, baseball, tennis, badminton and squash, and climbing activities like trekking,etc.
Shoulder arthroscopy is useful in patients with :
What is a Bone fracture?
Fracture is a break in the continuity of a bone. It can be a “undisplaced (Hairline)” when the broken pieces have not moved from their normal position and still are in contact or it can be a “displaced” when the broken bone pieces have moved away from their normal position in the body.
What are the types of fracture?
Fractures are divided into different types according to
