Joint pain, stiffness, or instability can result from injuries, cartilage damage, or ligament problems. Traditional open surgery often involves large incisions and longer recovery time. Arthroscopy offers a modern alternative by allowing surgeons to view and treat joint issues through tiny incisions using a specialized camera and instruments.
At Dr. Sushil Kumar Singh Orthopaedic Hospital, Patna, arthroscopy is used for accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment of knee, shoulder, and other joint conditions. The procedure is planned carefully based on imaging studies and clinical evaluation. The goal is to reduce pain, restore joint function, and help patients return to normal activities with minimal surgical trauma.
| Aspect | What It Means for the Patient |
|---|---|
| Minimally Invasive | Smaller cuts and less tissue damage |
| Faster Recovery | Shorter healing and rehabilitation time |
| Accurate Diagnosis | Direct visualization of joint problems |
| Reduced Pain | Less post-procedure discomfort |
| Better Joint Function | Improved movement and stability |
In simple terms, arthroscopy allows doctors to treat joint problems using a camera and small instruments through tiny cuts, helping patients recover faster.
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive orthopedic procedure used to diagnose and treat joint problems. In this procedure, a small camera called an arthroscope is inserted into the joint through tiny incisions. This camera allows the orthopedic surgeon to clearly see the inside of the joint and treat damaged tissues using specialized instruments.
Unlike traditional open surgery, arthroscopy causes less tissue damage, involves smaller cuts, and usually results in reduced pain and faster recovery. It is commonly used to treat conditions affecting the knee, shoulder, ankle, elbow, and wrist, including ligament injuries, cartilage damage, and joint inflammation.
Arthroscopy is recommended only after proper clinical evaluation and imaging tests, and it helps improve joint function while minimizing surgical trauma.
