A minimally invasive approach to joint repair

WHAT IS ARTHROSCOPY?

• Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure that uses a
  small camera (arthroscope) to visualize,
  diagnose, and treat problems inside a joint.
• The arthroscope is inserted through small
  incisions in the skin, allowing the surgeon to
  see and operate on the joint without making large
  open wounds.

BENEFITS OF ARTHROSCOPY

• Minimally invasive Smaller incisions mean less
  pain, scarring, and tissue damage.
• Faster recovery time Patients can often go home
  the same day or the day after surgery and return
  to their normal activities sooner.
• Lower costs Shorter hospital stays and less
  rehabilitation can lead to lower overall costs.

CONDITIONS TREATED WITH ARTHROSCOPY

• Meniscus tears
• ACL tears
• Rotator cuff tears
• Carpal tunnel syndrome
• Shoulder impingement
• Knee chondromalacia

5
THE ARTHROSCOPIC PROCEDURE

• The surgeon makes small incisions in the skin
  around the joint.
• The arthroscope and surgical instruments are
  inserted through the incisions.
• The surgeon views the inside of the joint on a
  video monitor.
• The surgeon performs the necessary repairs using
  the surgical instruments.
• The incisions are closed with stitches or sutures.

6
RECOVERY FROM ARTHROSCOPY

• Most patients experience some pain and swelling
  after surgery, which can be managed with
  medication.
• Physical therapy may be necessary to help regain
  strength and range of motion in the joint.
• Most patients are able to return to their normal
  activities within a few weeks or months.

7
RISKS OF ARTHROSCOPY

• As with any surgery, there are some risks
  associated with arthroscopy, such as infection,
  bleeding, and damage to nerves or blood vessels.
• However, these risks are relatively rare.

8
CONCLUSION

• Arthroscopy is a safe and effective treatment for
  a variety of joint problems.
• If you are considering joint surgery, be sure to
  ask your doctor if arthroscopy is an option for
  you.
