About Avant Sport, Shoulder & Elbow
The clinic provides multi-disciplinary and holistic care for our patients through a selective quality team of health care professionals – surgeon, physiotherapists, chiropractors, orthotists, podiatrists and psychologists. Through this comprehensive approach, we aim to provide accessible, prompt and personalized care for patients and athletes of all sporting levels.
Rehabilitation is a key and integral part of our comprehensive approach to quality care for the injured. As such, we work closely with the physiotherapists to ensure that our patients return rapidly to their former level of activity. Whenever possible, our expert Consultants will work together to ensure that surgery is the last option.
We provide consultations and surgical care for a variety of sports injuries and joint problems.
Some of these conditions include:
- Knee meniscus, ligament and cartilage injuries
- Kneecap (patella) instability and pain
- Tendinitis and muscle injuries around the knee and lower limb
- Shoulder instability and dislocations
- Rotator cuff tendon tears of the shoulder
- Shoulder biceps conditions
- Elbow instability and dislocations
- Elbow stiffness and contractures
- Tendinitis around the elbow – Tennis Elbow, Golfer’s Elbow
- Hip labral tears and Femoro-acetabular Impingement
- Tendon and muscle issues around the hip
- Ankle sport injuries including sprains, instability and tendinitis
- Arthritis/Degenerative conditions of the knee, shoulder, hip and elbow
- Fractures of the knee, shoulder, hip and elbow
We utilize the approved techniques in the treatment of these common conditions and complex conditions. We perform most of these surgeries through key-hole or arthroscopic techniques to minimize pain and downtime from sport, for the athlete or patient.
Dr Ramesh is fellowship trained in sports injuries and arthroscopic surgeries of the shoulder, knee and elbow. He is also one of very few surgeons in Singapore, who is trained in hip arthroscopy. He has previously been involved in the care of rugby players and Gaelic football players during his stint with Santry Sports Surgery Clinic in Dublin, Ireland. He has also been involved in the care of soccer players in Barcelona (Spain), and has a keen interest in soccer injuries.
The clinic is able to provide information for patients, athletes, sportsmen, their families and other physicians about our craft, in diagnosis and treatment of sports injuries, general orthopaedic injuries and joint arthritis conditions.
