Procedure

Arthroscopic Surgeries

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a small camera and specialized instruments to diagnose and treat various joint-related conditions. The procedure involves smaller incisions and less disruption to surrounding tissue than traditional open surgery, resulting in less pain, fewer complications, and faster recovery times. Arthroscopic surgery is primarily performed on an outpatient basis, allowing most patients to return home the same day.
