Arthroscopy in Delhi

Joint & Bone Solutions, Delhi is equipped with the latest and state-of-the-art technology for treating its patients. One of the recent technologies includes performing surgery or visualizing the insides of your joints through a small incision. Oh yes, you read it right. Now, your joint problem(s) can be diagnosed and treated using a teeny-tiny incision that is about the size of a buttonhole.

What is Arthroscopy?

As tough as the word may sound to you, this procedure is even tougher and should be performed by an experienced arthroscopic surgeon. 

Arthroscopy is a procedure involving the insertion of a narrow tube through a small incision to look inside your body and the joint. This procedure is performed to diagnose any kind of joint problem without having to go for a big incision (not to forget the aftermath scars here). The narrow tube is made up of an optical fiber and has a camera at the end which is connected to a high-definition video screen. The screen displays a magnified image of the patient’s anatomy and the insights of the joints.

This procedure also allows the surgeon to treat various underlying minor issues of the joints by inserting ultra-thin surgical instruments through the same incision.

Why does a surgeon perform an Arthroscopy?

Well, your surgeon can easily go for a traditional method as that’s what he has learned in his medical school. But as mentioned earlier, Arthroscopy is much more advanced and is performed for diagnosing joint and bone issues occurring in the knee joint, ankle joint, hip joint, elbow joint, wrist joint, and shoulder joint. 

Doctors choose this invasive procedure when the other noninvasive procedures such as X-rays, and other imaging techniques fail to diagnose the root cause of the issue. Arthroscopy is also suggested when other non-surgical treatments such as medications, physical therapy, or injections fail to mitigate the discomfort and pain.

  1. General Anesthesia- General anesthesia is given to make the person unconscious during the whole length of the operation. This is, however​, rarely given to the patients during Arthroscopic procedures.

  3. Regional Anaesthesia- The most common form of regional anesthesia involves inserting a small needle between the two lumbar vertebrae of the spine. Your lower body will get numb but you shall be awake.

  • ACL Reconstruction Surgery– ACL or Anterior cruciate ligament is an important knee joint ligament. An injury to this ligament leads it impaired gait and movement of the knee joint, not to forget the excruciating pain. The injury is very common in the sportsperson because of sudden movements​ or falls. There are several grades of the ACL injury depending upon the severity. Initial grades or low grades can be treated using Physiotherapy or physical therapy. However, the more severe cases​ require surgery to be performed.

The recommended method for treating surgical injuries of PCL is a one-package PCL reconstruction, which is confirmed by modern literature. PCL reconstruction techniques require a sufficient understanding of the biomechanical and biological factors that influence procedure and rehabilitation. The surgery of a PCL injury is a very complicated procedure and requires strong support and vigilance. This surgery is considered harder than ACL surgery.

  • Meniscal repair– Meniscal injury is the most common intraarticular knee injury. Though usually the Meniscal injuries are cured by non-operative methods if a repair is required, the tear is required to be verified and should be longitudinal with concurrent ACL. Irregular or complex tears tend to heal late. However, whether or not the tear is surgical, is the decision depending upon the definitive diagnosis. The outcomes of surgery are better if the patient is not a known case of previous ACL reconstruction surgery. The absolute success of the surgery also depends upon the expertise of the doctor besides the conditions. The higher the experience of the doctor, the more successful the surgery is.
