It involves using an arthroscope, a small, tube-like instrument equipped with a camera and light that allows surgeons to see inside the joint without making large incisions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Common Features of Arthroscopy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Minimally Invasive: Small incisions are made to insert the arthroscope and surgical instruments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Real-Time Imaging: The camera projects images onto a monitor, guiding the surgeon during the procedure.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Quick Recovery: Compared to open surgery, arthroscopy generally involves less pain, less risk of complications, and shorter recovery times.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Common Reasons for Arthroscopy:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Joint pain, swelling or stiffness that does not respond to non-invasive treatments.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Damage to ligaments, tendons, cartilage or bone fragments.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Diagnosis and treatment of:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Torn cartilage or meniscus (commonly in the knee).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rotator cuff tears in the shoulder.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ligament repairs (e.g., ACL reconstruction).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Removal of loose bodies (fragments of cartilage or bone).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Inflammatory conditions like synovitis.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Procedure:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Preparation: Patients are usually given general, regional, or local anesthesia.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Incision: Small incisions are made near the affected joint.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Insertion: An arthroscope is inserted, and sterile fluid may be used to dilate the joint for better visualization.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Treatment: Additional instruments are used through separate small incisions to repair or remove damaged tissue.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Closure: Small stitches or adhesive strips close the incisions.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Recovery:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Timeline: Recovery varies depending on joint treatment and the complexity of the procedure. Most people can resume light activity within a week and full activity within a few months.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rehabilitation: Physical therapy is often recommended to restore strength, flexibility and range of motion.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Risks: Although rare, potential risks include infection, bleeding, swelling, or damage to surrounding tissue.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>If you are considering or have been recommended for arthroscopy, consult your orthopedic surgeon for a detailed evaluation and personalized guidance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Arthroscopy surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat problems within a joint.
