The surgical treatment known as knee arthroscopy allows doctors to view the knee joint without having to make a major incision (cut) through the skin and other soft tissues. Arthroscopy is used to diagnose and treat a wide range of knee problems.
A small camera called an arthroscope is inserted into your knee joint by the surgeon during knee arthroscopy. Your surgeon uses the images from the camera to direct the small surgical instruments. The camera outputs images on a video monitor.
Meniscus Tears: Meniscus tears are a common knee injury that can cause pain, swelling, and limited mobility. Knee arthroscopy can repair or remove the damaged portion of the meniscus, restoring normal knee function.
Ligament Injuries: ACL (anterior cruciate ligament) and PCL (posterior cruciate ligament) injuries can occur due to sports-related activities or trauma. Arthroscopic surgery can reconstruct or repair these ligaments, providing stability and preventing further damage.
Cartilage Damage: Articular cartilage damage can lead to pain, stiffness, and reduced knee function. Knee arthroscopy allows our surgeons to perform techniques such as microfracture, cartilage transplantation, or autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI) to stimulate cartilage repair or restore damaged areas.
Synovitis: Inflammation of the synovial lining in the knee joint can cause swelling, pain, and stiffness. Arthroscopic procedures can remove inflamed tissue, providing relief and improving joint function.
Loose Bodies: Sometimes, loose fragments of bone or cartilage can float within the knee joint, causing pain and locking of the knee. Knee arthroscopy can remove these loose bodies, alleviating symptoms and restoring normal joint movement.
Minimally Invasive: Knee arthroscopy involves small incisions, resulting in minimal tissue damage, less pain, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
Accurate Diagnosis: The arthroscope provides our surgeons with a clear view of the knee joint, allowing for accurate diagnosis and precise treatment planning.
Customized Treatment: Based on the findings during arthroscopy, our surgeons can tailor the treatment to your specific condition, providing personalized care for optimal outcomes.
Faster Recovery: The minimally invasive nature of knee arthroscopy enables a quicker recovery period, allowing you to return to your daily activities and sports sooner
