Advanced Arthroscopic Surgery for Knee And Shoulder In Kurnool

What is Arthroscopic Surgery?

Arthroscopy surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that enables surgeons to diagnose and treat damages related to the interior of a joint using an arthroscope. The arthroscope, a type of endoscope, is inserted into the joint through a small incision in the patient's skin. This procedure is usually performed to examine or treat a range of orthopaedic conditions, with knee joint problems and shoulder joint problems being the most common.

One of the main advantages of arthroscopy over traditional open surgery is that the joint is not completely exposed. Under arthroscopy, only two small incisions are made to insert the arthroscope and other surgical instruments used in the knee cavity or shoulder joint for repair and reconstruction. This results in decreased trauma to the connective tissue and increases the chances of surgical success, as well as reduces the healing and recovery time.

Why is Arthroscopic Surgery Necessary?

Arthroscopy is specifically beneficial for professional athletes who suffer from recurrent injuries of knee joints and shoulder joints and require speedy recovery. The smaller incisions result in minimal scarring, and irrigation fluid is used to inflate the joints to create a surgical space. Smaller surgical instruments are used in this procedure compared to traditional instruments. Arthroscopic surgeons observe the joint area on a video monitor to diagnose the extent of injury and then repair torn joint tissue, such as ligaments and menisci or cartilage.

Shoulder Arthroscopy

Shoulder arthroscopy is minimally invasive procedure to treat commonly occurring problems like pain in shoulder because of impingement of tendons, difficulty to move the shoulder and shoulder dislocations. Being minimally invasive, our patients recover very fast and there is no or minimal morbidity.

At Sri Sai Satya Hospital, Dr.Y.Hariprasad Reddy who is trained at shoulder arthroscopy in Singapore has vast experience of about 16 years performs all advanced surgeries pertaining to shoulder problems.

Of commonly occurring problems relating to shoulder problems are

• Difficulty or unable to lift the shoulder due to pain
• Severe pain in the shoulder
• Instability of the shoulder/ repeated dislocation of the shoulder

Knee Arthroscopy

Knee arthroscopy is minimally invasive procedure done commonly due to Knee pain and instability.

Usually patient complains difficulty in brisk walking, climbing stairs and unable to sit cross legged.

We pass small scope of 4mm with 30 degree angle into the joint to inspect, identify and fix the problem. This is day care procedure, the results are immediate and recovery is very fast.

What are the Advantages of Arthroscopic Surgery?

1. Minimally invasive procedure that reduces trauma to the connective tissue and decreases healing time and recovery time.

2. Smaller incisions result in minimal scarring.

3. Arthroscopic surgery enables surgeons to visualize, diagnose and treat joint injuries and conditions with more accuracy, which may lead to better surgical outcomes.
