How is Arthroscopy Diagnosed?

Before recommending arthroscopy, doctors carry out a comprehensive diagnosis, which includes:

Detailed medical history to identify injuries, lifestyle, and previous treatments
Physical examination to assess flexibility, range of motion, and joint stability
Imaging tests such as X-rays, CT scans, and MRI scans to visualize joint structures
Blood tests to check for infections or underlying conditions like arthritis
Joint fluid analysis in cases where infection or gout is suspected

This diagnostic process ensures that arthroscopy is used only when necessary and beneficial.

Advanced Treatment Options for Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy can be tailored to different joint problems. Advanced techniques available today include:

Knee Arthroscopy: Used to treat torn meniscus, ACL injuries, and damaged cartilage.
Shoulder Arthroscopy: Helps correct rotator cuff tears, impingement syndrome, or labral tears.
Hip Arthroscopy: Treats labral tears, impingement, and cartilage damage.
Ankle Arthroscopy: Effective for ligament injuries and removal of loose bone fragments.
Wrist and Elbow Arthroscopy: Used for ligament repairs, cartilage injuries, and joint inflammation.

Modern arthroscopy uses high-definition cameras and precision instruments, which reduce surgical risks and allow patients to recover faster compared to traditional open surgery.

Recovery Time

Recovery after arthroscopy depends on the joint treated and the extent of the procedure. Most patients return to routine activities within 2 to 6 weeks after surgery. Complex ligament repairs or cartilage reconstructions may take 3 to 6 months for complete healing. Since it is minimally invasive, arthroscopy generally involves less post-operative pain and faster rehabilitation compared to open surgery.

What to Expect: Before, During & After Procedure

Before Surgery: You will undergo routine blood tests, imaging scans, and medical evaluation. The surgeon will explain the procedure, expected outcomes, and post-operative care.

During Surgery: The procedure is performed under local, regional, or general anesthesia. Small incisions are made to insert the arthroscope and surgical tools. The surgeon repairs or removes damaged tissues while monitoring progress on a video screen.

After Surgery: Patients usually go home the same day or within 24 hours. Pain medication, rest, and ice packs are recommended initially. A physiotherapy plan is provided to restore mobility and strength in the treated joint.

Recovery Timeline & Post-Treatment Care

First Week: Rest and apply ice packs. Use prescribed painkillers and keep the operated joint elevated.
2 to 6 Weeks: Begin gentle physiotherapy to restore motion and flexibility. Walking or light activity may be allowed depending on the joint.
6 Weeks to 3 Months: Gradual increase in strength exercises and return to daily activities.
3 to 6 Months: Full recovery for complex ligament or cartilage repairs. Athletes may resume sports activities under doctor’s guidance.

Post-Treatment Care Tips:

Follow physiotherapy exercises regularly
Avoid high-impact activities until cleared by the doctor
Maintain a healthy weight to reduce strain on joints
Attend all follow-up consultations for monitoring
