Arthroscopic Surgery (Knee, Shoulder, Ankle, Elbow)
About the procedure
Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that uses a small camera and specialized instruments to inspect, diagnose, and treat joint problems. It is commonly performed on the knee, shoulder, ankle, or elbow. The procedure addresses meniscal, ligament, and cartilage injuries or removes loose bodies. Small incisions allow insertion of an arthroscope, while video guidance helps the surgeon operate precisely. Usually done as a day-case surgery, it promotes faster recovery with early mobilization, physiotherapy, and gradual return to normal activities, while ensuring effective pain management and wound care.
