What is Arthroscopic Surgery ?
Arthroscopic surgery is a barely invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat problems inside a joint. A tiny tube known as an arthroscope is inserted through a tiny cut little larger than a buttonhole by the surgeon instead of a major cut. This tiny tube has an attached camera and light which captures clear visuals of the inside of your joint to a high-definition monitor. The procedure is followed when the individual faces issues with joint pain, instability, or other problems that are interfering your day to day functioning.

Commonly Asked Questions
Although arthroscopic procedures can be applicable to many other surgeries, they are usually used to reduce the symptoms of the following injuries or conditions:
- Tears in the rotator cuff
- Meniscal tears
- Both knee and hip arthritis
- Tears in the shoulder, hip, and knee ligaments
- Pain in the hands and wrists, including carpal tunnel syndrome
- Overuse ailments, such as tendon strains or ligament sprains
Arthroscopic surgery offers a number of benefits due to its smaller incisions and specialised tools, such as less scars, less tissue disruption, a lower pain following surgery, less blood loss during the procedure, a shorter hospital stay, shorter time to get back to routine life, and more natural joint movement.
The cause for surgery and the procedure type determine the limitations following arthroscopic surgery. Following surgery, arthroscopy patients may feel some discomfort and inflammation, which is frequently addressed by rest and prescription painkillers.
Physiotherapy is recommended to patients based on the type of surgery.
Recovery from more complicated arthroscopic procedures may take up to 6 months, and patients will follow a progressive physiotherapy treatment.
Complications can arise with every surgical operation. Although fewer than 1% of treatments result in problems, these can include:
- Loss of blood
- Excessive swelling or a blood clot
- Infection
- Damage to normal structures
- Breakage of instruments
Patients should inform the surgical care team right away of problems or unexpected post-operative symptoms in order to guarantee a full recovery.
