vadapalani kauvery hospital

Kauvery Hospital Vadapalani has unveiled Kauvery-SAC - Sports Medicine & Arthroscopy Centre setting a new benchmark in advanced orthopaedic care for the city. The centre also offers cartilage regenerative therapy for young, active individuals, providing cutting-edge solutions to preserve and restore joint health at an early stage. With this launch, Kauvery Vadapalani positions itself as Chennai’s exclusive destination for arthroscopy, the gold standard in minimally invasive joint treatment. Arthroscopy, a procedure performed through keyhole incisions using high-definition 3D cameras and specialized instruments, has revolutionized orthopaedics worldwide. Globally, more than 5 million arthroscopic procedures are performed annually, and studies show that 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. 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. Speaking at the launch, Dr. Ravi Sankar Kirubanandan, Senior Consultant Orthopaedics at Kauvery Hospital Vadapalani, said "At Kauvery Vadapalani, we are not just offering a treatment, we are building an ecosystem around recovery. 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. But it’s not limited to sports, it is equally transformative for an elderly patient with degenerative knee issues or a homemaker with shoulder stiffness and pain. Our focus is comprehensive: precision surgery, structured rehab, and enabling patients to return not just to activity, but to confidence and quality of life." Adding a leadership perspective, Dr. Aravindan Selvaraj, Executive Director and Co-founder, Kauvery Group of Hospitals, stated "The launch of Kauvery-SAC at Vadapalani is part of our broader vision to build true centres of excellence. As an orthopaedic surgeon myself, I know that joint problems don’t just limit mobility, they impact independence, mental health, and livelihood. This centre combines advanced technology, expert clinicians, and personalised and spontaneous rehabilitation, ensuring Chennai has a world-class hub for arthroscopy. We want every individual to know that world-class joint preservation and recovery is now accessible, right here in Vadapalani." The launch event was inaugurated by Mr. Sai Kishore, Indian cricketer and chief guest, who shared his thoughts on the importance of accessible sports medicine: "In sport, injuries are inevitable, but recovery is what defines a comeback. It’s heartening to see a facility like Kauvery-SAC focusing not just on elite athletes but on every individual who deserves the same quality of care. 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, ensuring quicker recoveries, safer procedures, and improved quality of life for all.
