Arthroscopy (Knee, Shoulder, Ankle, Elbow)
About the disease & condition
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat joint problems. A small camera, called an arthroscope, is inserted through tiny incisions to visualize and repair damaged tissues. It is commonly performed for sports injuries, degenerative joint conditions, or persistent joint pain and swelling. Benefits include faster recovery, reduced pain, and minimal scarring. Post-procedure care and rehabilitation are essential to restore joint function, prevent complications, and maintain long-term mobility.
Known Symptoms
- Persistent joint pain or stiffness affecting daily activities.
- Limited range of motion in the affected joint consistently.
- Swelling, warmth, or locking sensation in the joint.
- Occasional difficulty in fully bending or straightening the joint.
Known Causes
- Sports-related injuries causing ligament, tendon, or cartilage damage.
- Degenerative joint diseases leading to cartilage wear and tear.
- Recurrent joint pain or swelling needing diagnostic evaluation.
- Previous joint trauma increasing risk of structural joint problems.
Care
- Follow post-surgery rehabilitation exercises to restore joint function.
- Maintain healthy weight to reduce stress on operated joints.
- Attend all physiotherapy sessions for optimal recovery outcomes.
- Report unusual pain, swelling, or infection signs promptly.
