WHAT IS ARTHROSCOPIC SURGERY?
Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat joint problems. This advanced technique allows surgeons to view and repair joint damage through small incisions using specialized instruments and a camera. At our clinic, we offer comprehensive arthroscopic treatments for the shoulder, hip, and knee, helping patients recover quickly and get back to their active lifestyles.
WHEN TO SEE AN ARTHROSCOPIC SURGEON
Chronic or Persistent Joint Pain; Previous Treatments are Ineffective
- Persistent pain in a joint, even after rest and conservative treatments like medication, injections, physical therapy, or lifestyle changes, could indicate a need for further evaluation.
- Pain that limits daily activities or sleep.
Limited Range of Motion
- Difficulty fully moving the joint or stiffness that affects normal activities, such as walking or bending.
Swelling or Inflammation That Doesn’t Resolve
- Ongoing or recurrent swelling in a joint despite conservative treatments like ice, rest, or anti-inflammatory medications.
Joint Instability
- A feeling of the joint “giving out” or being unstable, especially in the knee or shoulder, during movement.
Recurring or Worsening Symptoms After Injury
- If an injury continues to cause problems or if symptoms like pain and swelling recur or worsen, there could be internal damage such as a torn ligament, cartilage, or meniscus.
Clicking, Popping, Catching, or Locking Sensation
- If a joint frequently clicks, pops, feels like it is catching, grinding noises, or locks during movement, it might indicate cartilage damage or a loose body inside the joint – especially if accompanied by pain.
Difficulty with Everyday Activities
- When joint pain or dysfunction interferes with daily tasks, work, or recreational activities.
Visible Deformity
- Swelling, lumps, or misalignment around the joint could suggest structural problems.
Recurrent Injuries
- Frequent injuries to the same joint, which may indicate chronic issues needing surgical intervention.
