Arthroscopic operations are minimally invasive procedures in which the orthopaedic surgeon uses a tiny camera and special instruments to look inside a joint and treat it. These procedures need smaller incisions, which means a faster recovery and less pain for patients.
Arthroscopic knee surgery – meniscus resection
Injuries to the menisci of the knee joint are common, especially among athletes and physically active people. In a meniscus resection the orthopaedic surgeon removes the damaged or torn parts of the cartilage, restoring normal joint function and reducing pain.
Arthroscopic knee surgery – cartilage surface treatment
Damage to the cartilage surface in the knee joint can cause pain and limited movement. Arthroscopic cartilage surface treatment aims to promote the regeneration of the damaged cartilage or to replace it, improving joint function and reducing symptoms.
Shoulder joint decompression
In impingement syndrome of the shoulder, the structures in the joint are compressed, causing pain and limited movement. During decompression surgery the orthopaedic surgeon removes the obstructing parts, increasing the space in the joint, which reduces pain and improves the range of motion.
The advantages of arthroscopic procedures include less surgical trauma, a shorter hospital stay and faster rehabilitation, so patients can return to their everyday activities sooner.
