Achilles Tendon Rupture treatments abroad The Achilles tendon attaches your calf muscles to your heel bone, or calcaneus.

There are two types of Achilles tendonitis: insertional Achilles tendonitis and noninsertional Achilles tendonitis.&nbsp

Knee Fracture Treatment abroad Broken bone is called as fractured bone. The fracture thighbone that occur just above the knee joint are called distal femur fractures.

Ankle Replacement treatments abroad Ankle replacement surgery is the replacement of a damaged ankle joint with an artificial implant. The ankle joint (tibiotalar joint) is where your shinbone (tibia) rests on top of a bone of your foot, the talus. Arthritis can affect this joint as well as other joints in the foot. Over time, the smooth cartilage on the surface of the bones wears away. This can result in pain, inflammation, and swelling of your joint.  

Shoulder Labrum Surgery abroad The three bones that make up the shoulder are the scapula (shoulder blade), clavicle (collarbone), and humerus (upper arm bone).

Knee Ligament Surgery (MCL) abroad The most common knee ligament injury is an injury to the medial aspect of the knee. There are three main anatomic structures on the medial side of the knee, with the medial collateral ligament (MCL) being the largest and strongest. A large number of isolated MCL medial knee injuries are due to sporting events. They can be either a contact or non-contact stress to the outside of their knee, which in turn stretches or tears the medial knee structures on t
