When is Arthroscopy Required?
Arthroscopy is typically recommended for patients experiencing persistent joint pain, stiffness, or instability that doesn’t improve with conservative treatments. When the limited mobility is not improved or the pain is not relieved through the non-surgical treatments, Arthroscopy procedure is recommended. This minimally invasive procedure is primarily used for diagnosing and treating joint problems when imaging tests, like X-rays or MRIs, fail to provide a complete picture or when physical symptoms indicate structural damage within the joint. It’s used to repair damaged ligaments, remove inflamed tissue, or address cartilage injuries in key joints such as the knee, shoulder, and hip.
Types of Arthroscopy Offered
Knee Arthroscopy
Knee arthroscopy is minimally invasive surgery designed with the primary intention of diagnosing and treating various knee joint conditions, such as torn meniscus, ligament damage, cartilage disorders, and other degenerative or traumatic conditions.

Patients who have undergone knee arthroscopy have reported less pain and faster recovery times with minimal scarring compared to the open type of surgery; therefore, this procedure is preferred by active patients and athletes looking to return to their regular activities sooner.

Shoulder arthroscopy is one of the most effective diagnostic procedures for common shoulder conditions such as rotator cuff tears, shoulder impingement, and labral injuries.We repair damaged tissues and help patients relieve pain using the most advanced tools through very small incisions. This approach is minimally invasive, ensuring that rehabilitation time is short and one returns to full normal activities, working or even sports much more comfortably and as quickly as one would compared to the open surgery case.
Hip Arthroscopy
Hip arthroscopy is a very specialized procedure to treat labral tears, femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), and cartilage injuries within the hip joint. A small camera and instruments are inserted through keyhole incisions, so that one can visualize the issues in the hip joint without making large incisions or extensive muscle dissection. This approach minimizes the scarring involved and considerably reduces recovery time, bringing patients back to mobility quicker and into a better quality of life without the requirement for more invasive surgery. Hip arthroscopy has emerged as a valuable treatment for hip pain and dysfunction, especially in younger and more active patients.
