Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that allows our orthopedic specialists to visualize, diagnose, and treat various joint conditions using a small camera, known as an arthroscope. This groundbreaking approach offers a detailed view inside the joint without the need for extensive incisions.
The Arthroscopic Camera
At the heart of arthroscopy is a high-definition camera attached to a thin, flexible tube. This camera is inserted through small incisions near the joint, providing real-time imaging of the affected area on a monitor. This real-time visualization allows for precise diagnosis and targeted treatment.
Conditions Treated with Arthroscopy
A. Knee Arthroscopy
Knee arthroscopy is a common application, addressing issues such as torn ligaments (ACL, PCL), meniscal tears, cartilage damage, and inflammation within the knee joint. Our skilled orthopedic surgeons use arthroscopy to perform repairs, reconstructions, and debridement with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues.
B. Shoulder Arthroscopy
Shoulder arthroscopy is employed to treat conditions like rotator cuff tears, labral tears, shoulder impingement, and recurrent dislocations. This technique allows for targeted interventions, enhancing the precision of repairs and promoting a faster recovery.
C. Hip Arthroscopy
Hip arthroscopy is a valuable tool in addressing conditions such as hip impingement, labral tears, and synovitis. By accessing the hip joint through small incisions, our orthopedic experts can diagnose and treat hip issues with minimal disruption to the surrounding tissues.
Advantages of Arthroscopy
A. Minimally Invasive Nature
Arthroscopy minimizes the trauma associated with traditional open surgery. Small incisions reduce scarring, pain, and recovery time, allowing our patients to return to their normal activities sooner.
B. Precision and Accuracy
The magnified, high-definition images provided by the arthroscope enable our surgeons to navigate the joint with unparalleled precision. This ensures targeted treatment and improved outcomes for our patients.
C. Faster Recovery
With reduced trauma to surrounding tissues, arthroscopy facilitates a quicker recovery. Patients can often resume normal activities faster than with traditional surgical approaches.
