Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat problems in the joints. It involves inserting a small camera called an arthroscope into the joint through a small incision. The arthroscope transmits images to a monitor, allowing the surgeon to visualize the inside of the joint without the need for open surgery.

During an arthroscopic procedure, additional small incisions may be made to introduce specialized surgical instruments. These instruments enable the surgeon to perform various therapeutic procedures, such as repairing damaged tissues, removing loose fragments or foreign bodies, and addressing joint conditions like inflammation, arthritis, or injuries.

Arthroscopy is commonly performed :

  • Joints
  • knee
  • Shoulder
  • Hip
  • Ankle
  • Wrist

This procedure is usually performed by orthopedic surgeons who have received specialized training in arthroscopic techniques. Arthroscopy has revolutionized the field of joint surgery, allowing for more precise diagnoses and targeted treatments while minimizing the impact on the patient's body.
