Arthroscopy – Sports Injury

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat joint problems, particularly in cases of sports injuries. It allows the surgeon to view the inside of the joint using a small camera, leading to faster recovery and reduced pain.

Commonly performed on the knee, shoulder, elbow, and ankle, arthroscopy can repair cartilage damage, remove debris, and treat ligament injuries, providing athletes with a quicker return to their active lifestyle.

Benefits for Patients

  • Minimally invasive with smaller incisions
  • Quicker recovery time compared to traditional surgery
  • Less pain and discomfort during recovery
  • Improved range of motion and joint stability
  • Effective treatment for a variety of joint injuries

Frequently Asked Questions

Learn more about arthroscopy and its benefits in treating sports injuries.

Arthroscopy is primarily used to diagnose and treat joint problems such as torn cartilage, ligament injuries, and arthritis. It is most commonly performed on the knee, shoulder, elbow, and ankle.

Recovery time depends on the complexity of the injury, but typically, most people can return to their normal activities within 2-6 weeks after arthroscopy.

While arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure, like any surgery, there are some risks involved, such as infection, blood clots, or injury to surrounding tissues. However, these risks are relatively low.
