Arthroscopy
Services Offered
ACL and meniscus repair
The Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) and the meniscus are vital components of knee stability and function. ACL injuries are common among athletes and physically active individuals, often resulting from sudden pivots, stops, or awkward landings. The meniscus, a C-shaped cartilage in the knee, serves as a cushion between the thighbone and shinbone, and can also be damaged in traumatic knee injuries.
ACL and meniscus repair procedures aim to restore knee stability, alleviate pain, and prevent further damage to the joint. These procedures are typically performed using minimally invasive techniques like arthroscopy, which involves small incisions and the use of a camera for precise repair.
Shoulder stabilization and rotator cuff repair
Shoulder stabilization and rotator cuff repair are advanced procedures designed to restore shoulder function and alleviate pain caused by instability or tendon tears. Shoulder stabilization focuses on treating frequent dislocations or instability, typically caused by injury or joint laxity. This procedure tightens the ligaments and strengthens the joint, ensuring long-term stability.
Wrist, elbow, and ankle arthroscopy
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the wrist, elbow, and ankle joints. Through small incisions, a thin, flexible camera (arthroscope) is inserted into the joint, providing real-time visuals for precision treatment. This technique is commonly utilized to address joint injuries, inflammation, or conditions like ligament tears, cartilage damage, and impingements.
Synovectomy for joint inflammation
Synovectomy is a surgical procedure aimed at alleviating joint inflammation by removing the inflamed synovial tissue—the lining of the joint. It is commonly performed to treat conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, synovitis, or chronic joint inflammation that doesn’t respond to medication or other non-surgical treatments.
Joint preservation techniques
Joint preservation techniques focus on maintaining the natural joint structure and delaying or avoiding the need for joint replacement surgery. These procedures are designed to treat joint conditions like cartilage damage, early arthritis, or structural abnormalities while preserving mobility and function.
Techniques include cartilage repair or regeneration procedures, osteotomies to realign joints, and minimally invasive treatments like arthroscopy to address specific issues without extensive surgery. These approaches aim to reduce pain, improve joint stability, and slow the progression of degenerative conditions.
