Arthroscopy is a diagnostic and treatment procedure for joint issues. A surgeon makes a small incision the size of a buttonhole and puts a thin tube with a fiber-optic video camera through it. The view inside your joint is displayed on a high-definition video monitor.
Condition
Arthroscopy is a procedure that allows the doctor/surgeon to see the inside of your joint without making a major cut. During arthroscopy, doctors can even heal some types of joint injury using pencil-thin surgical devices placed through additional small incisions.
Arthroscopy is a surgical treatment that allows doctors to examine, diagnose, and treat joint issues. It’s a small procedure that can be done as an outpatient. This means that you can go home the same day. Your doctor may recommend it if you have joint inflammation, have been damaged in a joint, or have gradually harmed a joint. Arthroscopy can be performed on any joint. The knee, shoulder, elbow, ankle, hip, or wrist are the most common places. Your doctor will use a gadget called an arthroscope to see inside your joint through many small cuts to see how much damage there is.
Symptoms
Arthroscopic surgery can be used to diagnose and treat a variety of knee ailments, including the following:
- Anterior or posterior cruciate ligaments have been torn.
- meniscus tear (the cartilage between the bones in the knee).
- The patella is out of place.
- In the joint, there are bits of torn cartilage that are loose.
- bone fractures in the knees
- synovium swollen (the lining in the joint).
Surgical Procedures
The specifics of your preparations will vary depending on which of your joints the surgeon will be inspecting or fixing. Generally speaking, you should:
Certain drugs should be avoided – It’s possible that your doctor will advise you to avoid taking any drugs or dietary supplements that could raise your risk of bleeding.
Prepare ahead of time – Depending on the type of anesthesia you’ll have, your doctor may want you to avoid eating solid foods eight hours before your procedure.
Make arrangements for a ride – You will not be permitted to drive yourself home following the treatment, so make arrangements for someone to pick you up. If you live alone, have someone check in on you that evening or, better yet, stay with you for the remainder of the day.
Select loose-fitting clothing – If you’re undergoing knee arthroscopy, wear loose, comfortable clothing — baggy athletic shorts, for example — so you can comfortably dress after the treatment.
You’ll be positioned in the best possible posture for your operation. This can be done on your back or side. A positioning device will be utilized on the working limb, and a tourniquet may be applied to reduce blood loss and improve visualization inside the joint. Filling your joint with sterile fluid is another way to improve vision inside it. This adds to the amount of space available surrounding the joint.
The viewing equipment is inserted through a tiny incision. Surgical tools can be inserted through further small incisions surrounding the joint to grip, cut, grind, and suction the joint as needed. The incisions will be tiny enough to seal with one or two stitches or sterile adhesive tape strips.
Recovery & Post Operation Take Care
The majority of people recover faster from arthroscopy than from open surgery with extensive incisions. Even yet, a complete recovery can take months. You may be able to return to work in a few days, depending on the procedure. Physical treatment may be recommended by your doctor. Physical therapy can help you recover faster, develop your muscles, and prevent injuries in the future.
