Arthroscopic Surgery

Arthroscopic Surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat joint problems. It involves inserting a small camera called an arthroscope into the joint through a tiny incision, allowing the surgeon to view and operate on the joint structures without making a large cut.

Commonly performed on the knee, shoulder, elbow, and ankle, arthroscopic surgery is used for conditions like ligament tears, cartilage damage, and joint inflammation. It typically results in less pain, quicker recovery, and minimal scarring compared to open surgery.

Services:

We offer a comprehensive range of arthroscopic procedures to diagnose and treat various joint conditions, including:

  • Knee Arthroscopy: Used to diagnose and treat knee injuries and conditions such as meniscal tears, ligament injuries (ACL, PCL), cartilage damage, and patellar instability.
  • Shoulder Arthroscopy: Utilized for conditions such as rotator cuff tears, labral tears, shoulder impingement, shoulder instability, and biceps tendon disorders.
  • Hip Arthroscopy: Effective for diagnosing and treating hip conditions such as femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), labral tears, cartilage damage, and hip joint infections.
  • Ankle Arthroscopy: Used to address issues such as ankle impingement, cartilage lesions, loose bodies, and synovitis.
  • Elbow Arthroscopy: Employed for conditions like tennis elbow, golfer’s elbow, loose bodies, and osteoarthritis of the elbow.
  • What is arthroscopic surgery?
    Arthroscopic surgery, also known as keyhole surgery, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat joint problems. It involves inserting a small camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments through tiny incisions to visualize the inside of the joint and perform surgical procedures.
  • What joints can be treated with arthroscopic surgery?
    Arthroscopic surgery can be performed on various joints, including the knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, and elbow. It is commonly used to address issues such as torn ligaments, cartilage damage, joint inflammation, and loose bodies within the joint.
  • What conditions can arthroscopic surgery treat?
    Arthroscopic surgery can be used to treat a wide range of joint conditions, including meniscal tears, ligament injuries (such as ACL or PCL tears), rotator cuff tears, labral tears, cartilage damage, joint instability, and synovitis (inflammation of the joint lining), among others.
  • What are the benefits of arthroscopic surgery compared to traditional open surgery?
    Arthroscopic surgery offers several advantages over traditional open surgery, including smaller incisions, reduced risk of infection, less post-operative pain, shorter recovery times, and minimal scarring. It also allows for better visualization of the joint structures, leading to more precise surgical outcomes.
  • Is arthroscopic surgery painful?
    Arthroscopic surgery is generally less painful than traditional open surgery due to the smaller incisions and reduced tissue trauma. Patients may experience some discomfort after the procedure, but pain can typically be managed with pain medication and other conservative measures.
