This results in faster recovery, less pain, and a quicker return to daily activities. If you are looking for world-class orthopedic care, Shalby Hospitals offers unparalleled expertise in arthroscopy, ensuring you receive the best treatment for your joint health.

What is Arthroscopy?
Arthroscopy involves the use of a small camera, called an arthroscope, which is inserted into the joints through tiny incisions. This advanced procedure enables surgeons to examine the joint’s interior and perform necessary repairs, all while minimizing tissue damage and reducing recovery time compared to traditional open surgery.

Knee Arthroscopy

Knee arthroscopy is one of the most common arthroscopic procedures. It is often used to diagnose and treat various knee conditions, such as:

  • Meniscus Tears: The meniscus is a cartilage cushion that absorbs shock in the knee. Injuries can lead to pain and swelling.
  • Ligament Injuries: ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) tears are prevalent among athletes and can be repaired using arthroscopy.
  • Cartilage Damage: Damage to the knee cartilage can cause pain and limit mobility. Arthroscopic techniques can help repair or remove damaged tissue.

Shoulder Arthroscopy

Shoulder arthroscopy allows surgeons to treat various shoulder conditions effectively, including:

  • Rotator Cuff Tears: This common injury can result from aging or repetitive motion, causing pain and weakness.
  • Shoulder Impingement: Arthroscopy can relieve pressure on shoulder tendons and restore mobility.
  • Labral Tears: Damage to the shoulder’s labrum can be repaired through this minimally invasive approach.

Small Joints Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy is also highly effective for small joints, including those in the hands and feet. Conditions treated with small joint arthroscopy include:

  • Wrist Injuries: Commonly used for diagnosing and treating ligament injuries and cartilage damage.
  • Ankle Conditions: Arthroscopic techniques can address issues such as loose bodies and joint inflammation.

Benefits of Arthroscopy:

  • Minimally Invasive: Compared to traditional surgery, arthroscopy involves smaller incisions, which leads to less trauma to surrounding tissues.
  • Faster Recovery: With reduced tissue damage and smaller incisions, patients typically experience quicker recovery times, making it an ideal choice for athletes.
  • Lower Risk of Complications: The minimally invasive nature of the procedure helps minimize the risk of infections and complications associated with larger surgeries.
  • Versatility: Arthroscopy is commonly used for joints such as the knee, shoulder, elbow, ankle, and wrist. It is especially beneficial for conditions like torn ligaments (ACL), meniscus tears, and cartilage damage.

Frequently Asked Questions

vector

Arthroscopy can treat a range of conditions, including:

  • Torn meniscus or ligaments (e.g., ACL in the knee)
  • Rotator cuff injuries in the shoulder
  • Removal of inflamed tissue or loose bone fragments
  • Cartilage damage and joint lining inflammation
  • Hip, wrist, elbow, and ankle joint issues

Arthroscopy is less invasive than traditional open surgery, which means smaller incisions, reduced pain, quicker recovery times, and a lower risk of complications like infections.

The most frequently examined joints include the knee, shoulder, hip, wrist, ankle, and elbow.

Recovery can vary based on the joint treated and the complexity of the condition. Most patients return to light activities within a few days, but full recovery, including returning to sports or physical activities, may take several weeks.
