Arthroscopic Surgery

Arthroscopic surgery is a common orthopedic procedure that is used to diagnose and treat problems in joints like knee, shoulder, elbow, hip and ankle. The word "arthroscopy" comes from two Greek words- 'arthro' which means joint and 'scope' which means look. With the advent of MRI the use of diagnostic arthroscopy has almost disappeared but arthroscopic repair of ACL, PCL or Meniscal Injuries is the most common procedure done specially in case of sports injuries. In Arthroscopic Surgery 3 small holes are made instead of a big incision. Through one of the hole a camera with LED light is inserted, instruments go inside through the second hole and the third hole is used to either insert the implant or remove any debris from the joint. The camera sends magnified images from the inside which the surgeon sees on a monitor and performs the surgery. The advantages of an arthroscopic surgery is lesser blood loss and much faster recovery.
