Arthroscopy is a modern, minimally invasive surgical technique that allows orthopaedic surgeons to diagnose and treat joint issues through small incisions. This procedure is commonly used for knees, shoulders, elbows, and other joints. By inserting a small camera called an arthroscope, surgeons can see inside the joint in real-time, making precise repairs without the need for large incisions.
The benefits of arthroscopy are significant. Patients experience less pain, quicker recovery times, and minimal scarring compared to traditional open surgeries. Arthroscopy is effective for treating a variety of conditions, including torn ligaments, cartilage damage, and inflamed joints.
If you’re experiencing joint pain and conservative treatments like physical therapy or medication aren’t effective, arthroscopy could be an ideal option. It allows for faster healing, enabling patients to return to their daily routines sooner. Talk to Dr. Nishant Gandhi to find out if arthroscopy is the right solution for your joint problems.
