Arthroscopic Surgery
Arthroscopic Surgery
Arthroscopic surgery is a modern, minimally invasive surgical technique used to diagnose and treat joint problems. It involves inserting a small camera, called an arthroscope, into the joint through a tiny incision. This allows orthopedic surgeons to view the inside of the joint on a screen and perform precise repairs using specialized instruments.
Benefits of Arthroscopic Surgery
Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat joint problems. It involves making small incisions and inserting a tiny camera (arthroscope) and instruments into the joint. This technique offers several advantages over traditional open surgery:1. Smaller Incisions:
-
Requires only tiny cuts, resulting in less trauma to surrounding tissues.
2. Reduced Pain and Scarring:
-
Minimal tissue disruption leads to less postoperative pain and very small, often barely visible scars.
3. Faster Recovery Time:
- Shorter healing period compared to open surgery, allowing patients to return to daily activities more quickly.
4. Lower Risk of Infection:
- Smaller incisions reduce exposure and the chance of infection.
Conditions We Treat Using Arthroscopy
Arthroscopic surgery is widely used to diagnose and treat various joint conditions with precision and minimal invasion. At our center, we utilize advanced arthroscopic techniques to manage the following conditions:
🦵 Knee Conditions
- Meniscus Tears
- ACL/PCL Injuries (Ligament Reconstruction)
- Cartilage Damage
- Patellar Instability
- Synovitis (inflammation of the joint lining)
💪 Shoulder Conditions
- Rotator Cuff Tears
- Shoulder Impingement
- Labral Tears (SLAP Lesions)
- Recurrent Shoulder Dislocation
- Frozen Shoulder (Adhesive Capsulitis)
