Arthroscopic Surgery
Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat joint problems. Instead of making large cuts, your doctor uses a tiny camera (called an arthroscope) and special tools through small incisions.
This surgery helps treat pain and stiffness in joints like:
-
Knee
-
Shoulder
-
Ankle
-
Elbow
-
Wrist
-
Hip
When Do You Need Arthroscopy?
You may be advised arthroscopic surgery if you have:
-
Ongoing joint pain or swelling
-
Sports injuries like torn ligaments or cartilage
-
Shoulder dislocation
-
Meniscus tears in the knee
-
Rotator cuff tears
-
Loose bone or cartilage fragments
-
Difficulty in joint movement
If medicines, injections, or physiotherapy haven’t worked – arthroscopy could be the next step.
How is the Surgery Done?

A tiny camera is inserted into your joint through a small cut.

It is done under anesthesia and takes 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on the issue.
