Knee arthroscopy is one of the most successful surgeries ever designed.
Do you Know that the Term ‘Arthroscopy’ is Derived from the Greek Word & it Means “ to Look Within the Joint’?
Dr. Vijay Bang performs knee arthroscopy surgery to treat multiple problems within the knee joint. Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat various knee conditions. It involves inserting a tiny camera called an arthroscope through small incisions to examine the joint, repair damaged tissues, remove loose fragments, or perform other necessary treatments, helping improve knee function and reduce pain.
Mind Boggling Fact
More about Knee Arthroscopy
How is the knee arthroscopy performed?
Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to diagnose and treat knee joint conditions. It is typically performed under general or local anesthesia. First, small incisions are made around the knee, allowing the insertion of a thin tube with a camera (arthroscope) and surgical instruments. The surgeon examines the joint's structures, such as ligaments and cartilage, through the arthroscope's video feed.
Any damaged tissue can be repaired or removed using specialized instruments. Afterward, the incisions are closed, and the knee is bandaged. Recovery involves physical therapy and pain management. Knee arthroscopy offers a less invasive option for diagnosing and treating knee problems compared to traditional open surgery.
Indications
• Ligament injuries (ACL,PCL,MCL,LCL,Meniscus)
• Knee joint inflammation
• Cartilage damage
• Loose bodies
• Patella (kneecap) problems
• Knee fractures
• Knee pain diagnosis
