Arthroscopic surgery is a specialized orthopaedic procedure used by us for diagnosing as well as treating problems of the joints. With the surgery potentially be performed on any of the joints, common arthroscopic surgeries undertaken by our surgeons include:
· Knee Arthroscopy
· Shoulder Arthroscopy
· Hip Arthroscopy
· Ankle Arthroscopy
· Elbow Arthroscopy
· Wrist Arthroscopy
Performing Arthroscopic Surgery
For performing arthroscopy, a scope is inserted into joint through small incision which is attached to fiberoptic light source. This helps us in seeing picture of inside of joints. Further, we may also use fluid that is pumped through joints that aids in achieving greater visibility by clearing debris from affected joints.
This process is followed by other incision which is made for inserting instruments for handling the specific treatment demands.
Arthroscopic Procedures
With possible treatment possibility of many joint problems through arthroscopic surgery, some of the common arthroscopic procedures that are followed include:
· Trimming torn meniscus of knee
· Repairing torn meniscus of knee
· Treating shoulder bursitis
· Repairing rotator cuff in shoulders
Advantages
As it is a minimally-invasive surgical procedure, it is less traumatic as the surgery is performed through small incisions in comparison to open joint surgery, thus allowing patients faster recovery time. Further, Arthroscopic procedure also helps in effectively projecting image of affected joints onto large screen and hence is highly effective towards repairing ligaments and cartilage so as to prevent joint instability/early onset arthritis.
