Arthroscopic Surgery
ARTHROSCOPIC SURGERY IS DONE TO DIAGNOSE AND TREAT A NUMBER OF JOINT PROBLEMS, MOST COMMONLY THOSE AFFECTING THE:
- Knee
- Shoulder
- Elbow
- Ankle
- Wrist
- Hip
During this procedure, an arthroscopic surgery instrument called an inserted into your joint through a small cut in the skin. The arthroscope provided with a light source and a video camera attached to it. Images captured by the camera can watch on a video monitor. These magnified pictures provide a clear picture and the physicArthroscopic-Surgeryian can analyze the problem inside the joint. The surgeon makes a few more incisions to allow entry of thin surgical instruments to insert a graft and repair damaged parts. The procedure usually performed in the outpatient setting and normally takes about two hours.
WHAT IS ARTHROSCOPIC SURGERY?
An arthroscope, a specialized tool that is a thin, flexible tube outfitted with a camera and light source, used during arthroscopic surgery. The surgeon can view the interior of the joint on a display in real-time after inserting this gadget through a small incision into a joint. A precise diagnosis and focused treatment made possible by this real-time imaging.

Smaller incisions used during arthroscopic surgery mean less stress to the surrounding tissues and less scarring.

Accurate Diagnosis: Real-time joint visualization enables accurate diagnosis and ensures suitable treatment strategies.
Surgical intervention can target the problem at the joint, limiting harm to healthy tissues.
Decreased Pain: Less tissue stress and smaller incisions often lead to less post-operative pain.
