What is Arthroscopy?
Arthroscopy comes from the Greek word Artho & Scopien which literally means to look into the joint. Arthroscopy is a procedure by which various joints in the body (Knee, Shoulder, Ankle, Hip & Wrist) can be inspected and treatment is given by a small pencil-shaped instrument called arthroscopy surgery (Telescope). Although it is a significant surgery, it involves minimal invasion.
This is a keyhole incision surgery where two single stitch incisions are usually enough to treat any problem which would have normally required a large incision. This has been made possible by technological advancement in the Bio-engineering field. The Arthroscopy procedure also allows the surgeon to treat various underlying minor issues of the joints by inserting ultra-thin surgical instruments through the same incision.
Arthroscopy helps to diagnose and treat significant conditions which would else require open surgery.
Why is Arthroscopy Required?
Doctors choose Arthroscopy as it is much more advanced and helps when other noninvasive procedures such as X-rays, and other imaging techniques fail to diagnose the root cause of the issue. Arthroscopy is also suggested when other non-surgical treatments such as medications, physical therapy, or injections fail to mitigate the discomfort and pain
Some conditions include:
- Tear in the ligaments
- Internal scarring in the joints
- Inflammation in the joints
- Tear or damage in the cartilage
- Loose bone fragments
