Minimally invasive keyhole surgery for knee, shoulder, and ankle joints. Shorter hospital stays, less post-operative pain, and faster return to daily activities.
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat joint problems. A small camera (arthroscope) is inserted through tiny incisions, allowing the surgeon to view and repair damage inside the joint.
Commonly performed on the knee, shoulder, and ankle, arthroscopy offers shorter hospital stays, less pain, and faster recovery compared to open surgery.
Arthroscopy offers distinct advantages over traditional open surgery for joint conditions.
Tiny incisions (keyhole) mean less tissue damage, reduced scarring, and lower risk of infection.
Most patients return to normal activities within days to weeks, not months. Get back to work and sports sooner.
Smaller incisions and less tissue disruption result in significantly less post-operative pain and discomfort.
Arthroscopy is often performed as a day-care procedure or with just an overnight stay, reducing healthcare costs.
The arthroscope provides a clear view of the joint, allowing for precise diagnosis and targeted treatment of the problem.
Ideal for athletes and active individuals who need to return to their sport or fitness routine as quickly as possible.
Arthroscopy is ideal for patients with joint injuries or conditions that cause pain, swelling, and limited movement.
Meniscus tears, ligament injuries, cartilage damage, and loose bodies in the knee joint.
Rotator cuff tears, shoulder impingement, frozen shoulder, and recurrent dislocations.
Ankle impingement, cartilage injuries, and joint conditions affecting the wrist, elbow, or hip.
Dr. Patel evaluates your joint with physical examination and imaging (MRI/X-ray) to determine if arthroscopy is appropriate.
A tiny camera and instruments are inserted through small incisions. The surgeon diagnoses and repairs the problem in real-time.
Most patients go home the same day. A tailored physiotherapy program helps restore strength and mobility quickly.
Thanks to the minimally invasive nature, patients return to work, sports, and daily life much faster than with open surgery.
Arthroscopy is used for meniscus tears, ligament injuries, rotator cuff tears, shoulder impingement, cartilage damage, and joint inflammation.
There is minimal pain after arthroscopy compared to open surgery. Pain is well-managed with medications and usually subsides within a few days.
Recovery varies by procedure, but many patients return to light activities within 1-2 weeks and full activities within 4-6 weeks.
Yes, physiotherapy is essential for optimal recovery. Dr. Patel will prescribe a tailored rehabilitation program to restore strength and mobility.
