These images provide valuable information of underlying pathology of the tissues and assists with diagnosis and planning the treatment of a condition.

• Computed Tomography
  To diagnose runner's knee, your doctor will ask about your symptoms, medical history, any sports participation, and activities that aggravate your knee pain. Your doctor will perform a physical examination of your knee.

Surgeons

• Orthopedics
• Whiplash
• Arthroscopy
  Hip arthroscopy: This procedure is usually used to remove or repair the torn labrum.

• Joint Replacement
  Total joint replacement surgery is one of the most advanced successful procedures in patients dealing with severe hip and knee pain.
• Orthopedic Surgery
• Arthroscopy
  Rotator cuff repair may be performed by open surgery or arthroscopic procedure. In arthroscopy procedure space for rotator cuff tendons will be increased and the cuff tear is repaired using suture anchors. These anchor sutures help in attaching the tendons to the shoulder bone. Following the surgery, you may be advised to practice motion and strengthening exercises.
• Hip Replacement
  Total hip replacement is a surgical procedure in which the damaged cartilage and bone is removed from the hip joint and replaced with artificial components.
• Knee Replacement
  Knee implants are artificial devices that form the essential parts of the knee during a knee replacement surgery.
• Knee Arthroscopy
  Sometimes a knee arthroscopy may be performed. Knee arthroscopy is a surgical procedure in which the internal structures of the joint are examined to diagnose as well as treat the underlying problem.
• Reconstructive Surgery
  Dr. Chandra has been practicing Orthopaedic Surgery in the Washington DC Metropolitan area since 1984, with special interest in sports medicine and arthroscopic surgery of the shoulder, knee, ankle, elbow, and wrist including major reconstructive surgery for all athletic injuries. He is skilled in cartilage replacement and transplant surgery and uses these methods when appropriate.

  Tennis Elbow/Golfer's Elbow: Tennis elbow is the inflammation of muscles on the outside of the elbow whereas tendinitis on the inner side of the elbow is golfer’s elbow. Overuse of the arms or a traumatic blow to the hand may cause tennis elbow or golfer’s elbow. These injuries may cause severe pain and tenderness of the affected muscles that radiate down into the forearm, particularly with use of the hand and wrist. Adequate rest and immobility of the affected part helps the muscles to recover and modification of the activities helps in better healing. Heat therapy, followed by a stretching and strengthening exercises and then ice massage may offer be beneficial. A tennis elbow strap may relieve the pressure from the muscle attachment. Pain medications may be recommended to relieve the pain and inflammation.
