Arthroscopy, also known as keyhole surgery, is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat joint problems. At Sortho Bone & Joint Clinics, we specialize in arthroscopic surgeries for the knee and shoulder, allowing for faster recovery and less discomfort compared to traditional open surgery. Our expert team uses advanced technology to perform these procedures with precision and care, ensuring optimal results for our patients.

Our Arthroscopy Services Include:

1. Knee Arthroscopy

• • ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) Repair: Arthroscopic surgery is used to treat torn ACLs, a common injury in athletes. We use small incisions to repair or reconstruct the ligament, allowing for a quicker recovery.
  • PCL (Posterior Cruciate Ligament) Repair: PCL injuries can affect knee stability. Arthroscopy is used to repair or reconstruct the PCL, offering a faster recovery
    compared to open surgery.
  • Meniscal Repairs: Tears in the meniscus, which is the cartilage cushion in the knee, can cause pain and instability. Arthroscopic techniques allow for precise repair or partial removal of the damaged meniscus.
  • Multiligament Knee Repairs: In cases of multiple ligament injuries (ACL, PCL, MCL, LCL), arthroscopy is used to repair the ligaments, restoring stability and function to the knee.
  • Patella (Knee Cap) Repairs: Arthroscopy can treat patellar instability or damage to the kneecap, providing quicker healing times and reducing post-operative pain.

2. Shoulder Arthroscopy

• • Rotator Cuff Repair: Tears in the rotator cuff, which stabilizes the shoulder, are common in athletes and active individuals. We perform arthroscopic repair to restore shoulder function and reduce pain, with minimal scarring.
  • Labral Repair: The labrum is the cartilage that stabilizes the shoulder joint. Tears in the labrum are common in athletes. Arthroscopic surgery is used to repair or reattach the labrum to restore shoulder stability and function.
  • Soft Tissue Repairs: For injuries to soft tissues around the shoulder, such as tendons and ligaments, we use arthroscopy to remove damaged tissue and promote healing.

What to Expect During Arthroscopic Surgery

1. Consultation & Diagnosis

• • During your initial consultation, your orthopedic surgeon will assess your symptoms and may recommend imaging studies (X-ray, MRI) to determine the extent of the injury and if arthroscopy is the best treatment option.

2. Surgery

• • Arthroscopic surgery is typically done under local or general anesthesia. Small incisions are made near the affected joint, and a tiny camera (arthroscope) is inserted to visualize the area. Surgical instruments are then used to repair or remove damaged tissue.

3. Post-Surgery Care & Rehabilitation

• • After surgery, you may need a few days of rest. We provide a rehabilitation program to strengthen the joint and help restore mobility. The recovery period varies depending on the surgery but is generally shorter than traditional open surgery.
