Precision Care for Knee, Shoulder & Ankle Problems
At Medical Park Hospitals, arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive orthopedic procedure designed to diagnose and treat joint issues with small incisions and advanced camera-guided instruments. This modern approach allows our expert orthopedic surgeons to treat injuries and degenerative conditions in the knee, shoulder, and ankle with less trauma, quicker recovery, and minimal scarring — making it a preferred choice for both athletes and active individuals.
⚙️ What Is Arthroscopic Surgery?
Arthroscopic surgery uses a specialized camera called an arthroscope, inserted through a small incision, to visualize the inside of the joint. This method enables surgeons to repair, clean, or reconstruct damaged tissues with exceptional accuracy — often avoiding the need for large incisions or open surgery.
Arthroscopic Knee Surgery
At Medical Park, arthroscopic knee surgery addresses:
- Meniscus Repair or Removal – Treats torn meniscus cartilage, which can cause pain, swelling, and limited movement. Repair preserves the tissue when possible; removal is performed when the tear is irreparable.
- ACL Reconstruction – Replaces a torn anterior cruciate ligament using graft tissue, restoring knee stability for sports and daily activities.
- Cartilage Restoration & Loose Body Removal – Removes bone or cartilage fragments that can block movement or cause joint locking.
- Synovectomy – Removes inflamed joint lining caused by conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis.
- Arthroscopic Treatment for Early Arthritis – Cleans the joint to improve mobility and delay the need for joint replacement.
Benefits: Smaller incisions, quicker recovery, and the ability to return to an active lifestyle faster compared to open knee surgery.
Arthroscopic Shoulder Surgery
- Rotator Cuff Repair – Reattaches torn tendons to the head of the humerus to restore strength and mobility.
- Labrum Repair (SLAP Tears) – Reattaches or trims the cartilage ring around the shoulder socket to restore stability.
- Shoulder Instability Surgery – Repairs stretched or torn ligaments that cause repeated dislocations.
- Subacromial Decompression – Removes bone spurs or inflamed tissue that cause impingement syndrome, improving shoulder motion.
- Biceps Tendon Repair (Tenodesis) – Addresses pain from torn or degenerated biceps tendons.
Benefits: Preserves shoulder structure, reduces post-op pain, and allows faster rehabilitation compared to open techniques.
Arthroscopic Ankle Surgery
- Loose Body Removal – Extracts cartilage or bone fragments that interfere with movement.
- Ankle Instability Repair – Tightens or reconstructs ligaments damaged by repeated sprains.
- Debridement for Arthritis – Smooths rough cartilage and removes inflamed tissue to reduce pain.
- Osteochondral Defect Repair – Treats small areas of damaged bone and cartilage caused by injury or degeneration.
- Synovectomy – Removes inflamed joint lining in cases of chronic synovitis.
Benefits: Less tissue damage, quicker return to walking, and minimal downtime compared to open ankle surgery.
