What is Arthroscopy?
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure in which a small camera (arthroscope) is inserted into the joint through a tiny incision. This allows surgeons to visualize, diagnose, and treat joint issues without the need for large incisions. Commonly performed on joints like the knee, shoulder, and hip, arthroscopy is a preferred option for sports injuries, joint damage, and cartilage issues. This procedure offers a significant advantage over traditional open surgery by requiring smaller incisions, which results in less pain, faster recovery, and minimal scarring.
Our Arthroscopy Services Include:
- Discectomy – Removal of a herniated or damaged disc to relieve nerve pressure.
- Spinal Fusion – Fusing two or more vertebrae to improve spine stability.
- Hip Arthroscopy – For labral tear repair and treating hip impingement.
- Elbow and Wrist Arthroscopy – For ligament repair and joint stabilization.
- Ankle Arthroscopy – For treating ligament tears, bone spurs, and cartilage damage in the ankle joint.
- Wrist Arthroscopy – For removing cysts, treating ligament injuries, and diagnosing chronic wrist pain.
- Minimally Invasive Spine Surgery – Advanced techniques that reduce recovery time and post-surgery pain.
- Elbow Arthroscopy – For treating tennis elbow, loose bone fragments, and cartilage damage in the elbow joint.
Benefits of Arthroscopy:
- Minimally Invasive Procedure – Smaller incisions result in less pain, faster recovery, and minimal scarring.
- Quick Diagnosis and Treatment – The procedure allows surgeons to both diagnose and treat joint issues in a single session.
- Preservation of Joint Function – Arthroscopy helps preserve the natural joint structure, improving mobility and flexibility post-surgery.
- Better Outcomes for Athletes – Ideal for sports injuries, helping athletes return to peak performance quickly.
- Improved Joint Mobility – Arthroscopy helps restore natural joint movement by repairing damage and removing obstructions within the joint.
Conditions Treated with Arthroscopy:
- Sports Injuries: Ligament tears, meniscus damage, and rotator cuff injuries.
- Cartilage Damage: Repairing cartilage tears or degeneration, particularly in the knee and shoulder.
- Joint Instability: Treatment for loose bodies, joint dislocations, and chronic instability.
- Arthritis: Relieving pain and improving joint function in patients with osteoarthritis or rheumatoid arthritis.
- Labral Tears: Commonly treated in the shoulder or hip joints, helping with pain relief and restoring mobility.
