Our expert team, led by Dr. Srinivasan K, Dr. Shankar R. Kurpad, and Dr. Kamini Kurpad, offers advanced arthroscopic treatments to restore joint function, reduce pain, and promote faster recovery.
What is Arthroscopy?
Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure that allows doctors to examine and treat joint problems using a small camera (arthroscope) inserted through tiny incisions. This technique is commonly used for knee, shoulder, hip, and ankle conditions, providing less pain, minimal scarring, and quicker recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
Conditions Treated with Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy is effective for diagnosing and treating various joint conditions, including:
- Ligament Tears – ACL, PCL, and meniscus injuries in the knee.
- Cartilage Damage – Wear and tear causing pain and stiffness.
- Rotator Cuff Tears – Shoulder injuries affecting mobility.
- Joint Inflammation & Arthritis – Reducing pain and improving movement.
- Loose Bone Fragments & Cysts – Removing debris causing joint discomfort.
Causes of Joint Issues Requiring Arthroscopy
Common causes leading to the need for arthroscopy include:
- Sports Injuries & Accidents – Sudden twists, falls, or direct impacts.
- Degenerative Conditions – Aging-related wear and tear (e.g., osteoarthritis).
- Repetitive Stress Injuries – Overuse from work or physical activities.
- Joint Instability – Weakness or misalignment causing pain and dysfunction.
Symptoms That May Require Arthroscopy
If you're experiencing the following symptoms, arthroscopy may be recommended:
- Persistent joint pain and swelling.
- Limited range of motion and stiffness.
- Clicking, locking, or instability in the joint.
- Difficulty bearing weight on the affected limb.
