About 4 years back during his A levels our elder son while player soccer for his school team fell down and injured his knee. Their coach who is a FIFA certified coach told us that he is such a good mid fielder that after further training within couple of years he will be able to play soccer for any international club. After injury we did all the usual tests x-rays, Cat scans, MRI consulted private orthopedic surgeons, Armed Forces orthopedic surgeons and rehabilitation specialist of AFIRM, but his problem of not being able to play soccer never got resolved despite all sorts of tests and medicine.

Last year we went for another MRI as he had started limping, stopped saying his prayers due to pain out of blues I decided to send his all MRI and reports to a friend whose wife is a radiologist on west coast USA and one radiologist in India. We received the same feedback from both that this is an SOS and the boys needs to be operated immediately (arthroscopy) and the remarks they gave for Pakistani Radiologists and specialist are nothing short of pure profanity.

Instead of going abroad we consulted the best (mean most experienced and most expensive) orthopedic surgeon in Quaid e Azam International Hospital after seeing the reports from foreign doctors he said it is a case of immediate surgery as there is collection of material and one of the ACL is damaged/ knee cap is misplaced. Oh yes that he will get 80-90% better.

We went for arthroscopy, long story short it been over a year we went for a follow-up MRI, send the DVD to international again and I am still reeling from the shock that the bas*ard removed the material but now instead of one damaged ACL it is two damaged ACL one of them is now out of shape. Couple weeks back I went to Europe and consulted a radiologist in UK he is of the opinion that we need to have another surgery to fix the knee, both ACL need to be repaired to improve functioning of the knee.

When current Govt wasted the a**holes of PMDC we were the happiest family.

Now we need some help according to radiologist we need to consult an orthopedic surgeon or sports surgeon with specialization in reconstruction of ACL, since money is not a concern, we want to be absolutely sure we are going to the right doctor this time can you please suggest any doctor with such specialty in Europe/USA/Canada.

Being a parent it breaks ones heart to see their child suffering from a problem which should have been diagnosed and fixed years ago.

I know there are some physicians here so I would request to suggest a surgeon, absolutely not in Pakistan. Special request to those who are living in Europe/USA or are physicians

@Nilgiri any doctors in the indian circle who could recommend someone.

In Agha Khan - Karachi, there are two very good Ortho surgeons:

Dr Tashfeeen Ahmed.
Dr Parvez Hashmi.

You will get excellent opinion from them.

There are many good choices here in USA. Which geographic area would you prefer?

I am seriously speaking and not kidding.. My wife is doc and she says, there are few doc who can read X-rays and sonogram other just try hard to pinpoint the issue. For instance, Dr Nawaz is famous radiologist and always busy. He has spent many years in US hospitals. I am just saying all this we are in pathetic condition.

No regulatory bodies and check. I made a thread on some Chinese company medicine. My aunt got cancer just because using them.

Thanks brother, money is less of a concern.

This place:

Hospital for Special Surgery, New York:

https://www.hss.edu/

They have many good specialists for sports injuries.

Drang and we spend five years in long Island.

That is good because your local knowledge will help set up the care if you choose to go with them.

Inshallah, I ll be going once we finalize, our house is still there albeit rented out.
