Knee & Shoulder Arthroscopy

Knee & Shoulder Arthroscopy is an advanced minimally invasive surgical procedure designed to diagnose and treat a wide range of joint conditions with precision. Using a small, high-definition camera (arthroscope) inserted through tiny incisions, the surgeon gains a clear, magnified view of the joint’s internal structures. Specialized instruments are then used to repair damaged tissues, remove debris, or address underlying issues such as ligament tears, cartilage damage, or inflammation. This technique offers numerous benefits over traditional open surgery, including reduced pain, minimal scarring, lower risk of complications.

Causes for Knee & Shoulder Arthroscopy

• Shoulder Impingement – Inflammation causing pain and restricted movement.
• Loose Bone Fragments – Removal of debris causing joint irritation.
• Meniscus Tears – Damage to the cartilage that cushions the knee.
• Ligament Injuries (ACL/PCL Tears) – Torn knee ligaments affecting stability.
• Rotator Cuff Tears – Damage to the muscles and tendons stabilizing the shoulder.
• Recurrent Shoulder Dislocations – Arthroscopy can help stabilize the joint

Symptoms Indicating the Need for Arthroscopy

• Chronic Shoulder Pain – Pain that worsens with movement or at night.
• Clicking or Popping Sounds – Sensation of grinding or snapping in the joint.
• Persistent Knee Pain – Pain that does not improve with medication or therapy.
• Swelling & Stiffness – Difficulty bending or straightening the knee.
• Locking or Catching Sensation – Feeling like the knee is stuck or unstable.
• Limited Range of Motion – Difficulty lifting the arm or rotating the shoulder.
