Arthroscopy Knee Surgery
Are you experiencing a locking sensation, recurrent swelling, clicking or instability after an injury? These symptoms can sometimes indicate damage to the internal structures of the knee, such as the meniscus, ACL, cartilage or other soft tissues. When medication, physiotherapy and activity modification are not providing sufficient relief, Arthroscopic Knee Surgery in Adyar may be considered for selected conditions. The procedure is not a single operation. Arthroscopy is a surgical approach that can be used for different knee conditions, and the technique selected depends on the exact pathology identified in each patient.
What Is Arthroscopy Knee Surgery?
Arthroscopy is a less invasive surgical procedure that is done with a thin surgical instrument called an arthroscope, which is equipped with a high-definition camera and light source. The arthroscope is introduced into the patient's knee joint through a small portal, where the surgeon is able to look at the structures, including the cartilage, meniscus, ligaments, synovial tissue and the joint surfaces.
Based on the diagnosis, other small holes may be created in the bones to insert specialised instruments. The surgeon can then heal, remove, cut or even rebuild damaged tissues, depending on the patient's condition.
When Is Knee Arthroscopy Recommended?
Knee arthroscopy is suggested when other non-operative treatment methods aren't providing the desired pain relief, or the structure of the knee needs surgical correction. Arthroscopy may or may not be indicated depending on the diagnosis. A detailed clinical examination and appropriate imaging, such as X-rays or MRI, may be required before deciding on surgery.
Knee arthroscopy can be used to treat any of the following:
Benefits of Arthroscopic Knee Surgery
Arthroscopy is one of the biggest benefits, besides coming with narrow incisions as opposed to an extensive surgical opening. This may lead to less disruption of the soft tissues than does conventional open surgery.
Potential benefits include:
How Is Arthroscopic Knee Surgery Performed?
Pre-Surgical Evaluation
A detailed assessment of your knee condition, medical history, physical examination, and relevant MRI or X-ray reports is performed.
Anaesthesia
Depending on the procedure and your overall health, appropriate anaesthesia is administered to ensure comfort during surgery.
Small Incisions
The surgeon makes a few small incisions around the knee to access the joint.
Arthroscope Insertion
A thin arthroscope equipped with a camera and light is inserted into the knee joint to provide a magnified view of the internal structures.
Joint Examination
The surgeon carefully examines the meniscus, ligaments, cartilage, and other structures to identify the source of the problem.
Surgical Treatment
Depending on the condition, procedures such as meniscus repair, removal of damaged tissue, cartilage treatment, or ligament reconstruction may be performed.
