Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to examine, diagnose, and treat problems inside a joint.

During this procedure, the orthopedic surgeon inserts a small camera called an arthroscope into the joint through a small incision in the skin. The camera displays the inside of the joint on a monitor, allowing the surgeon to view joint structures such as cartilage, tendons, ligaments, and bones without having to make large incisions in the skin and joint tissues.

The current wait time for arthroscopic procedures at our clinic is 3–5 weeks from the patient’s first visit.

What types of arthroscopy do we perform?

treatment of musculoskeletal disorders and injuries in adult patients
We provide medical evaluations for planned orthopedic surgeries and arthroscopic procedures
We perform PRP plasma treatments for connective tissue and muscle injuries (when indicated)

Meniscus treatment (removal of the damaged portion or suturing, depending on the findings and the patient’s age)

Anterior and posterior cruciate ligament surgery, treatment and reconstruction of cartilage defects

The combination of arthroscopy with X-ray imaging performed directly in the operating room (e.g., during osteosynthesis)

Subacromial Decompression for Impingement Syndrome - treatment of painful pressure in the shoulder caused by friction of soft tissues—most commonly when raising the arm

Rotator Cuff Repair - suturing or strengthening the tendons in the shoulder that ensure movement and stability—often following an injury or overuse

Arthroscopic stabilization of the shoulder joint following recurrent dislocations or in cases of instability - joint reinforcement following a shoulder dislocation – prevents further “popping out” and restores stability

Diagnostic and therapeutic procedures for painful conditions, injuries, or limited mobility

Removal of loose bodies, treatment of cartilage, release of the joint capsule, etc.
