Mahendra Singh Dhoni, a former captain of India, had surgery on his left knee. The operation went smoothly, and Dhoni is in excellent physical condition, according to the hospital and sources within Chennai Super Kings (CSK), who spoke with CricAdvisor. Although it was first anticipated that he would have to stay in the hospital for two more days, it was discovered late one night that Dhoni had been released.
Kasi Viswanathan, the CEO of CSK, disclosed that he spoke with Dhoni on Thursday morning following the operation. “I talked with him following the procedure. I am unable to describe the surgery, although we have been informed that it is a key-hole surgery. In our talk, he seemed fine, the CSK representative said.
At the Kokilaben Hospital in Mumbai, Dhoni had surgery to repair his injured knee, which was performed by sports medicine specialist Dr. Dinshaw Pardiwala, who had already treated Rishabh Pant for the same issue. In the hospital, Sakshi, Dhoni’s wife, is by his side.
On May 31 evening, Dhoni was admitted to the hospital
As CricAdvisor previously reported, the CSK administration has sent Dr. Madhu Thottappil, its team doctor, to Mumbai to supervise Dhoni’s treatment. Although the precise timing of his complete recovery is yet unknown, it is anticipated that Dhoni will be back in action in approximately two months.
Dhoni made a commitment to his supporters during the just finished IPL season to return the following year and play one final season after winning the IPL on Monday night.
Dr. Dinshaw is a very capable surgeon, especially for the knees and shoulders. He is a rare talent in India, and we are fortunate to have him. According to Gloster, he is a surgeon who will only act if he is confident the outcome will be important. Dhoni feels comfortable knowing that the surgery was performed by a skilled surgeon. Over the years, I’ve had a close working relationship with him as we treated several players. You can always count on a positive outcome when Dinshaw is engaged.
What exactly is key-hole surgery?
An alternative term for arthroscopic surgery is keyhole surgery. The knee is not completely sliced open, nor is it an open procedure. To insert the cameras and tools required for the treatment inside the knee, there are only a few very small incisions made in three or four spots around the knee.
The majority of knee surgeries today, according to experts, are performed using arthroscopic techniques. An open procedure might only be required when one does the primary ligament repair. Given that it was performed by arthroscopy, it is anticipated that the recovery period will be less than three months.
