Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy Treatment at Nityaseva Accident & Orthopedic in Sangamner
Arthroscopic surgery, also known simply as arthroscopy, is a minimally invasive orthopedic procedure used to diagnose and treat joint problems. It involves the use of a narrow scope, called an arthroscope, and specialized surgical tools to access a joint through tiny “keyhole” incisions. Because arthroscopic surgery requires smaller incisions than open surgery, recovery times tend to be shorter. Dr. Nitin Ghule has completed a fellowship in Arthroscopy and experiences joint treatment through arthroscopy.
Why it's done?
Dr. Nitin Ghule uses arthroscopy to help diagnose and treat a variety of joint conditions, most commonly those affecting the:
- Knee
- Shoulder
- Elbow
- Ankle
- Hip
- Wrist
Diagnostic procedures
Doctors often turn to arthroscopy if X-rays and other imaging studies have left some diagnostic questions unanswered.
Surgical procedures
Conditions treated with arthroscopy include:
- Loose bone fragments
- Damaged or torn cartilage
- Inflamed joint linings
- Torn ligaments
- Scarring within joints
Procedure:
Exact preparations depend on which of your joints the surgeon is examining or repairing. In general, you should:
- Avoid certain medications. Your doctor may want you to avoid taking medications or dietary supplements that can increase your risk of bleeding.
- Fast beforehand. Depending on the type of anesthesia you’ll have, your doctor may want you to avoid eating solid foods eight hours before your procedure.
- Arrange for a ride. You won’t be allowed to drive yourself home after the procedure, so make sure someone will be available to transport you.
- Choose loose clothing. Wear loose, comfortable clothing — baggy gym shorts, for example, if you’re having knee arthroscopy — so you can dress easily after the procedure.
- Arrange for a ride. You won’t be allowed to drive yourself home after the procedure, so make sure someone will be available to transport you.
