Arthroscopy Surgery

Arthroscopy (ahr-THROS-kuh-pee) is a procedure for diagnosing and treating joint problems. A surgeon inserts a narrow tube attached to a fiber-optic video camera through a small incision — about the size of a buttonhole. The view inside your joint is transmitted to a high-definition video monitor

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that allows doctors to diagnose and treat problems within a joint. It's like having a tiny camera explore the inner workings of your knee, shoulder, elbow, ankle, hip, or wrist – depending on which joint is bothering you.

Benefits of Arthroscopy:

• Minimally invasive: Smaller incisions mean less pain, faster healing, and quicker recovery time compared to traditional open surgery.
• Outpatient procedure: In most cases, you can go home the same day as your surgery.
• Better visualization: The arthroscope provides a magnified view, allowing for more precise diagnosis and treatment.

Conditions Treated with Arthroscopy:

Torn ligaments

Meniscus tears (in the knee)

Cartilage damage

Arthritis

Inflamed joint lining

Removal of loose fragments in the joint
