Arthroscopic Treatment

Arthroscopy is a minimally-invasive procedure to treat injuries or painful conditions that occur in the joints. This is a daycare procedure that is completed within a few hours and the recovery time is less too.

Arthroscopy is a surgical process that is extremely safe and does not cause injuries or blood loss. Tears in muscles, tendons or cartilage are fixed through this method. Causing minimal pain and post-surgical scars, this treatment methodology requires very little time for patient rehabilitation.

Similar to endoscopy, in this process, small incisions are made by the surgeon after delivering local anesthesia. He then inserts an arthroscope, with a video camera at one end and the other end attached to a video output screen. The camera transmits the images onto a monitor.
