A new keyhole surgical method to repair knee medial ligament tear developed by the Department of Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine, VPS Lakeshore Hospital Kochi has been accepted by the International Society of Arthroscopy, Knee Surgery and Orthopaedic Sports Medicine (ISAKOS). 
VPS Lakeshore Orthopaedic team have been employing this novel method to treat ligament injury for the past three years and recently the research paper titled 'Percutaneous Arthroscopic Assisted Knee Medial Collateral Ligament Repair-A Novel Technique And Results' was accepted by ISAKOS. The paper was presented at the biannual conference of ISAKOS held in Cape Town South Africa. The novel technique was described and developed by the expert team led by Dr Jacob Varughese (HOD, Orthopaedics), Dr Appu Benny Thomas (Sr. Consultant, Orthopaedics), Dr Julio Chacko Kandathil Senior Consultant, Radiology), Dr George Jacob and Dr A N Sukesh. 
 In this method a narrow tube, attached to a fibre-optic video camera along with tiny and precise surgical equipment, is inserted through a small incision and the surgeon repairs the ligament tear. The view inside the joint is transmitted to a high-definition video monitor, which thereby avoids the need of opening the site.
