surgery (arthroscopic)

Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive technique used to diagnose and treat joint problems. During this procedure, a surgeon makes small incisions around the joint and inserts a thin camera, called an arthroscope, along with specialized instruments. This allows them to view the inside of the joint on a monitor and perform repairs without a large open wound. It’s commonly used for conditions affecting knees, shoulders, and hips, offering benefits like reduced pain, quicker recovery, and smaller scars compared to traditional surgery. Patients often experience less downtime and can return to normal activities faster.
