Arthroscopic Knee Surgeries

Knee Arthroscopy is a procedure that allows doctor to look inside of your knee using an arthroscope (a slender scope that contains a lens and a light source). This enables the surgeon to obtain a clear view of the knee, diagnose and treat knee conditions and injuries. Small incisions are made around the knee to insert the arthroscope, irrigating tool, and reparative instruments. The images are then projected on a television screen in the operating room so that the surgeon has an enhanced view of the knee and tissues.

SURGERIES PERFORMED

Joint replacement aims to restore painless motion to a joint and function to the muscles, ligaments, and other soft tissues that control the joint. Either a part or the total damaged bone is removed and replaced with artificial components made out of metal and polyethylene and the bones of the joint are "realigned" so that the weight that passes through the joint is normally distributed. Hip and knee the major weight bearing joints are the most commonly affected joints and are commonly replaced. Ankles, shoulders, elbows, wrists and fingers can also be replaced.

Joint replacement relieves pain, restores function and the newer type of joints allows unrestricted activities.

Previously it was recommended for patients more than 60 years but now it is being more and more recommended for younger patients.

This can be answered by asking yourself the following questions.

  •   For whom is this surgery?
  •   Do I have Daily Pain?
  •   Does my pain restrict my activities and enjoy life?
  •   Do I avoid going out due to pain?
  •   Do I avoid walking, exercising etc?
  •   Has my world become smaller because of pain?
  •   If you answer yes for one or more of these questions it is better to consult your doctor and decide
  •   regarding having a joint replacement surgery.
