Knee and Shoulder Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that allows orthopedic surgeons to visualize, diagnose, and treat a variety of joint-related conditions using small incisions and specialized instruments. At Gokhale Orthopaedic Centre, we are dedicated to providing advanced arthroscopic techniques to help our patients achieve optimal joint health and function.

Understanding Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy involves the use of a small, flexible camera called an arthroscope, which is inserted into the joint through a tiny incision. This allows the surgeon to examine the internal structures of the joint, including the cartilage, ligaments, tendons, and synovium, in real-time. Additionally, small surgical instruments can be introduced through additional incisions to perform various procedures, such as repairing torn ligaments, removing loose bodies, or smoothing damaged cartilage.
Indications for Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy can be used to diagnose and treat a wide range of joint-related conditions, including-
- Meniscal Tears: Meniscal tears are among the most common knee injuries, often resulting from sports-related activities or degenerative changes in the knee joint. Arthroscopic surgery allows for the precise evaluation and treatment of meniscal tears, including trimming or repair of the torn meniscus to alleviate pain and restore joint function.
- Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Tears: ACL tears are frequently seen in athletes and individuals who participate in high-demand activities. Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction is a minimally invasive procedure that involves replacing the torn ligament with a graft, restoring stability and function to the knee joint.
- Rotator Cuff Tears: The rotator cuff is a group of muscles and tendons that surround the shoulder joint and play a crucial role in shoulder stability and movement. Rotator cuff tears can occur as a result of overuse, trauma, or degenerative changes. Arthroscopic rotator cuff repair allows for precise visualization and repair of the torn tendons, leading to improved shoulder function and pain relief.
- Labral Tears: The labrum is a cartilage ring that surrounds the socket of the hip or shoulder joint, providing stability and cushioning. Labral tears can occur due to trauma, repetitive stress, or structural abnormalities in the joint. Arthroscopic labral repair or debridement can address these tears and restore joint stability and function.
- Cartilage Damage: Cartilage damage in the joints, such as osteochondral defects or chondral lesions, can result from trauma, arthritis, or other degenerative conditions. Arthroscopy allows for the evaluation and treatment of cartilage damage, including techniques such as microfracture, cartilage debridement, or cartilage transplantation to promote healing and preserve joint function.
- Synovitis: Synovitis is inflammation of the synovial membrane lining the joint capsule, often seen in conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or osteoarthritis. Arthroscopic synovectomy involves the removal of inflamed synovial tissue, reducing pain and improving joint function.
- Impingement Syndrome: Impingement syndrome occurs when there is compression of soft tissues, such as tendons or bursa, within the joint space, leading to pain and limited range of motion. Arthroscopic subacromial decompression or hip impingement surgery can address impingement issues, relieving pain and restoring joint function.
Advantages of Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy offers several advantages over traditional open surgery, including-
- Minimally Invasive: Arthroscopic procedures require smaller incisions, resulting in less trauma to surrounding tissues, reduced postoperative pain, and faster recovery times.
- Precision and Visualization: The high-definition camera and specialized instruments used in arthroscopy allow for precise visualization and manipulation of joint structures, leading to more accurate diagnosis and treatment.
- Shorter Hospital Stay: Most arthroscopic procedures are performed on an outpatient basis, allowing patients to return home the same day and resume normal activities sooner.
- Reduced Risk of Complications: The smaller incisions used in arthroscopy are associated with lower rates of infection, bleeding, and other surgical complications compared to open surgery.
