Precision Keyhole Surgery for Faster Recovery & Better Outcomes

What is Arthroscopy?

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive (keyhole) procedure used to diagnose and treat joint problems.

It uses a specialized instrument called an arthroscope — a thin tube with a camera and light source — to visualize the inside of a joint.

• Inserted through small incisions
• Provides magnified, high-precision view
• Allows both diagnosis and treatment

👉 Simple Understanding:

Instead of opening the joint,
we treat it from inside using a camera.

Why is Arthroscopy Needed?

Arthroscopy is performed to evaluate and treat:

• Persistent joint pain
• Swelling or inflammation
• Joint instability
• Limited movement
• Sports injuries

It helps detect:

• Cartilage damage
• Ligament tears (ACL, meniscus, etc.)
• Loose bone or cartilage fragments
• Early arthritis changes

What Happens During Arthroscopy?

• Performed under local, spinal, or general anesthesia
• Small incisions made around the joint
• Arthroscope inserted for visualization
• Specialized instruments used to:
  • Trim damaged tissue
  • Repair ligaments or cartilage
  • Remove loose fragments
  • Perform biopsy if needed

⏱️ Duration: 30–90 minutes
🏥 Hospital Stay: Usually same-day discharge

Joints Commonly Treated with Arthroscopy

• Knee arthroscopy
• Shoulder arthroscopy
• Ankle arthroscopy
• Hip arthroscopy
• Wrist arthroscopy

Benefits of Arthroscopy

• Minimally invasive (small cuts)
• Less pain compared to open surgery
• Faster recovery
• Minimal blood loss
• Reduced hospital stay
• Early return to daily activities

Recovery After Arthroscopy

Typical Timeline:

• Walking: 1–2 weeks
• Normal activities: 3–6 weeks
• Sports recovery: 6–12 weeks

Key Requirement:

👉 Physiotherapy is essential for full recovery and function

Risks & Complications

Though rare, possible risks include:

• Infection
• Blood clots
• Nerve or tissue injury
• Joint stiffness
• Persistent symptoms

Treatments & Procedures

How is Arthroscopy Performed?

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive (keyhole) procedure performed under:

• Local anesthesia
• Spinal anesthesia
• General anesthesia

👉 The choice depends on the joint involved and complexity of the condition.

Step-by-Step Procedure

1. Preparation

• Skin over the joint is cleaned and sterilized
• Patient is positioned based on the joint:
  • Knee → lying on back with knee bent
  • Shoulder → side-lying or sitting position

👉 In knee procedures, a tourniquet may be used to control bleeding and improve visibility.

2. Small Incisions (Keyhole Entry)

• Tiny incisions (few millimeters) are made near the joint
• Arthroscope (camera) is inserted

👉 Device size:

• Knee scope → approx. pencil width
• Smaller scopes → wrist, ankle, etc.

3. Joint Visualization

• Camera transmits high-definition images to a monitor
• Surgeon views the joint in real time

👉 Reality:
The entire surgery is performed watching the screen with high precision

4. Surgical Intervention (If Required)

Additional small incisions allow insertion of instruments to:

• Remove damaged tissue (debridement)
• Repair ligaments or cartilage
• Remove loose bone/cartilage fragments
• Perform biopsy
• Flush the joint for better visibility

5. Completion

• Instruments are removed
• Incisions may need minimal stitches (often not required)
• Sterile dressing applied
• Ice pack used to reduce swelling
• Joint supported with bandage or brace

Common Arthroscopic Procedures

At ONUS Robotic Hospitals, we perform advanced arthroscopic procedures including:

• Rotator cuff repair surgery (shoulder)
• Meniscus repair or trimming (knee/shoulder)
• ACL reconstruction (knee ligament surgery)
• Synovectomy (removal of inflamed joint lining)
• Carpal tunnel release (wrist)
• Ligament repair surgeries
• Removal of loose bone or cartilage fragments

Key Advantages of Arthroscopy

• Minimally invasive (small incisions)
• Less pain compared to open surgery
• Faster recovery and discharge
• Minimal scarring
• High precision with camera guidance

Recovery After Arthroscopy

• Early mobilization encouraged
• Ice application to reduce swelling
• Physiotherapy for strength and function

Typical Timeline:

• Walking: 1–2 weeks
• Normal activities: 3–6 weeks
• Sports: 6–12 weeks

👉 Critical Insight:
Rehabilitation determines long-term outcome —
not just the surgery.
