Knee Arthroscopy
Knee Arthroscopy
Knee pain and injuries can significantly affect your mobility and quality of life. At Aranya Clinic, we specialize in Knee Arthroscopy, a minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to diagnose and treat a wide range of knee problems effectively and with minimal downtime.
What Is Knee Arthroscopy?
Knee arthroscopy is a cutting-edge procedure where a small camera, called an arthroscope, is inserted into the knee joint through a tiny incision. This allows our expert orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Kumar Saurabh, to visualize the inside of the knee on a screen, diagnose the problem, and treat it simultaneously using specialized instruments.
This advanced technique is highly effective in addressing:
- Torn meniscus (cartilage)
- Ligament injuries, such as ACL or PCL tears
- Damaged cartilage or joint surfaces
- Loose bone or cartilage fragments
- Inflammatory joint conditions
- Knee infections
Benefits of Knee Arthroscopy
Knee arthroscopy offers several advantages over traditional surgery, including:
- Minimally Invasive: Smaller incisions mean less trauma to surrounding tissues.
- Faster Recovery: Shorter healing times enable you to return to your daily activities sooner.
- Reduced Pain and Scarring: Less postoperative discomfort and virtually no visible scars.
- Enhanced Precision: The arthroscope provides a clear, magnified view of the joint for accurate treatment.
Who Needs Knee Arthroscopy?
You may be a candidate for knee arthroscopy if you experience:
- Persistent knee pain that doesn’t improve with medication or therapy
- Swelling, stiffness, or limited range of motion
- Instability or frequent locking of the knee
- Injuries resulting from sports or accidents
At Aranya Clinic, Dr. Kumar Saurabh performs a thorough evaluation using advanced imaging and clinical expertise to determine if knee arthroscopy is the best solution for your condition.
The Knee Arthroscopy Procedure
- Diagnosis: A pre-surgical consultation includes imaging tests like X-rays or MRIs to assess the knee’s condition.
- Procedure: Under anesthesia, small incisions are made around the knee, and the arthroscope is inserted to guide the surgery. Any damaged tissues, cartilage, or ligaments are repaired or removed.
- Recovery: Patients typically return home the same day and can begin light activities within days, followed by a guided rehabilitation program.
