Arthroscopy in Knee Pain and Fractures

Image
Knee arthroscopy is a surgical procedure that is generally used to diagnose and treat a wide range of conditions of the knee joint. In this procedure a small scope is inserted by the surgeon that is called an arthroscope, this arthroscope is entered into the knee joint that allows the doctor to view the perfect condition of the joint and to examine whatever the condition is and helps the doctor to how to proceed further. The arthroscope is inserted without making any large incision or cutting through the skin or any other soft tissues.  This camera is generally used to display the picture or the video of the procedure. The main advantage of arthroscopic surgery is that it's done using surgical instruments that are thin and uses very small incisions for the surgery rather than any other open surgery. Certain conditions in which knee arthroscopy is done:- Knee arthroscopy is generally recommended in painful conditions that can't be treated with non-surgical treatment like rest,

Recovery after arthroscopic knee surgery

Recovery time after arthroscopic surgery varries in the person depending on many circumstances. Age, Tyoe and extent of injury, health status and also the ability of the person. There are also some other factors that impact the healing time such as will power, and determination of the patient, time spent for exercises. It is very important to understand that sometimes it can also take a long time to feel better. Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgery which uses local or Spinal  anaesthesia, small incision and also offers less bleeding with fast healing time and less damage to soft tissue. Arthroscopy procedure has advantage of shorter hospital stay. ACL reconstruction and meniscus tear repair are the most common arthroscopic procedures that are done together.  Arthroscopic ACL ligament reconstruction:- An average time from ACL reconstruction to back to sports is 9 to 12 months for healthy and active patient. In the whole procedure the surgical healing takes 6 to 8 weeks,

Arthroscopy-assisted fracture fixation

Over the past decade the incredible advanced medical technologies have allowed the orthopaedic surgeons to perform the most complex surgeries using minimally invasive techniques. These Minimal invasive techniques have turned out to be a miracle as rather than using long incisions these techniques use smaller surgical incisions while accomplishing the same surgical goal. Minimal invasive technique are the most commonly used all around the world because of the fact that these are more trustable and effective. Arthroscopy is the most favoured because this procedure contains less risk during the surgery, less pain after the surgery and improved &  accurate recovery outcomes.  Common Arthroscopy surgeries include:- Knee Arthroscopy Shoulder Arthroscopy Ankle Arthroscopy Elbow Arthroscopy Hip Arthroscopy Wrist Arthroscopy Arthroscopic Fracture fixation Arthroscopy-assisted fracture fixation:- Arthroscopic assisted fracture fixation techniques are used in intra articular fracture fixati
