What is Arthroscopy?

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that allows our doctors to see inside your joint without making large cuts. Our surgeon inserts a small camera (arthroscope) through a tiny incision to view joint problems and repair them.

When Do You Need Arthroscopy?

You might need arthroscopy if you have:

  • Joint pain that doesn't improve with rest or medication
  • Persistent joint swelling or stiffness
  • A joint injury that needs repair
  • Loose tissue or bone fragments in your joint

Benefits of Arthroscopy

  • Smaller incisions than traditional surgery
  • Less pain after surgery
  • Faster recovery time
  • Lower risk of complications
  • Can often go home the same day

Recovery After Arthroscopy

Most patients can return to light activities within a few days. Full recovery usually takes several weeks to months, depending on your specific procedure and joint. Our team will provide personalized recovery guidelines.
