Arthroscopy

What Is Arthroscopy?

Arthroscopy is keyhole surgery of a joint. Instead of a large cut, the surgeon makes two or three small cuts and passes a thin camera, called an arthroscope, into the joint. The inside of the joint is seen clearly on a screen, and fine instruments are used to repair the damage.

It is most often done for the knee and shoulder, and in selected cases for the ankle and other joints. Because the cuts are small, there is usually less pain, less blood loss and a quicker return to daily activities than with open surgery.

Problems Treated With Arthroscopy

Dr. Parth Patel uses arthroscopy to diagnose and treat many joint problems, including:

  • ACL and PCL ligament tears
  • Meniscus (knee cartilage) tears
  • Rotator cuff tears of the shoulder
  • Repeated shoulder dislocation
  • Loose bodies and cartilage damage
  • Joint locking, catching or unexplained pain

Diagnostic Arthroscopy

A direct look inside the joint when X-ray or MRI do not fully explain the pain, swelling or locking.

Arthroscopic Repair

Ligament reconstruction, meniscus repair, rotator cuff repair and removal of loose pieces through small cuts.

Recovery After Arthroscopy

Most patients start moving the joint and walking with support soon after surgery, and the hospital stay is usually short. The small cuts heal quickly, and pain is generally easier to control than after open surgery.

Full recovery depends on what was repaired. A simple procedure may need a few weeks, while ligament reconstruction needs several months of guided physiotherapy before returning to sports. Dr. Parth Patel gives you a clear rehabilitation plan at every stage. Learn more about our sports injury treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Arthroscopy is done through small cuts, so it is less invasive than open surgery. It is still a surgical procedure done under anaesthesia in an operation theatre, and it is planned after a proper examination and scans.

The stay is usually short. Many patients go home within a day or two, depending on the procedure and how comfortable they feel walking.

Most patients walk with support within a day of surgery. If a ligament or meniscus has been repaired, you may need a knee brace or crutches for some weeks as advised.

Yes. Physiotherapy helps bring back movement and strength and is an important part of recovery, especially after ligament or cartilage repair.
