Frequently Asked Questions

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that uses an arthroscope to examine and treat problems in the joints.

The benefits of arthroscopy include smaller incisions, less scarring, less pain, faster recovery time, and lower risk of complications than traditional open surgery.

Arthroscopy is used to examine and treat a variety of joints, including the knee, shoulder, ankle, hip, elbow, wrist, and finger joints.

Arthroscopy is performed using an arthroscope; it is inserted into the joint through a small incision. The arthroscope lets the surgeon view the inside of the joint on a monitor and guides surgical instruments to perform repairs or remove damaged tissue.

The main difference between arthroscopy and open surgery is the size of the incision. Arthroscopy uses small incisions, while open surgery involves larger incisions that provide direct access to the joint.

The risks associated with arthroscopy include infection, bleeding, nerve damage, and blood clots. However, these risks are relatively rare.

Arthroscopy is performed under anesthesia so patients do not experience pain during the procedure. Some patients experience pain or discomfort after, which is managed with pain medication.

The type of anesthesia used during arthroscopy depends on the joint being examined and the patient's overall health. Local anesthesia, regional anesthesia, or general anesthesia may be used.

The length of an arthroscopy procedure varies depending on the joint being examined and the complexity of the surgery. Most procedures take between 30 minutes and 2 hours.

The recovery time for arthroscopy depends on the joint being examined and the extent of the surgery. Most patients return to normal activities in a few days to a few weeks.

Patients typically go home on the same day as the arthroscopy procedure once they are able to walk and tolerate food and drink.

Patients are usually able to walk with crutches or a walker immediately after arthroscopy and can resume walking normally once their pain and swelling have subsided.

Patients cannot drive for 24 hours after arthroscopy, or until their pain and mobility have improved.

The timing of resuming normal activities after arthroscopy depends on the joint examined and the extent of the surgery. Most patients resume their normal activities in a few days to a few weeks.

After arthroscopy, patients can expect pain, swelling in the affected joint, stiffness and limited mobility. These symptoms improve in a few days to a few weeks.

Pain after arthroscopy is managed using over-the-counter pain medication or prescription pain medication, as directed by your doctor.

Yes, arthroscopy is commonly used to diagnose and treat knee injuries such as meniscal tears, ACL tears, and cartilage damage.

Yes, one of the benefits of arthroscopy is that it allows for the removal of loose bodies from the joint, which can cause pain and inflammation.

Yes, arthroscopy can be used to repair cartilage damage using techniques such as microfracture, cartilage transplantation, and autologous chondrocyte implantation.

Yes, arthroscopy can be used to repair ligament or tendon damage using techniques such as suture anchors, knots, and bone tunnels.

Yes, arthroscopy can be used to treat arthritis by removing damaged tissue, smoothing bone surfaces, and debriding inflamed tissue.

Yes, arthroscopy can be used to diagnose and treat infections in the joint by obtaining a sample of synovial fluid or tissue for culture and biopsy, and by debriding infected tissue.

Yes, you can usually shower after arthroscopy, but keeping the incision site dry and clean is necessary. To reduce the risk of infection, avoid soaking the affected joint for at least 48 hours afterwards.

The length of time you should avoid soaking the affected joint after arthroscopy will depend on your surgeon's instructions and the extent of the procedure. In general, it's best to follow your surgeon's post-operative instructions carefully to ensure proper healing.

In most cases, you will be able to return to work within a few days to a few weeks after arthroscopy, depending on the type of work you do and the extent of the procedure. However, to allow healing, it's important to avoid any strenuous activity or heavy lifting for at least a few weeks after the procedure.

Arthroscopy can also be used to treat many joint conditions, including torn ligaments, damaged cartilage, and inflamed synovial tissue. The procedure allows the surgeon to make repairs or remove damaged tissue with minimal incisions, resulting in less pain and faster recovery times than traditional surgery.

Some of the joint conditions that can be treated with arthroscopy include torn meniscus, ACL and PCL injuries, rotator cuff tears, impingement syndrome, carpal tunnel syndrome, and ankle instability, among others. However, the suitability of arthroscopy as a treatment option depends on a variety of factors, including the severity of the condition and the patient's overall health.
