The development of the arthroscopy microsurgical techniques has revolutionized joint surgery.
During arthroscopic surgery, the orthopedic surgeon makes a tiny incision and works with a lighted camera lens that is no larger than a pencil to look inside the joint. Damaged tissue can be removed or repaired, and many highly sophisticated reconstructive procedures are performed using the arthroscope.
The benefits of arthroscopy include the use of minimal incision and a faster recovery period.
This minimally invasive approach to surgery can help speed recovery, reduce pain and minimize scarring, when compared with traditional "open" surgery. Many arthroscopic procedures can be performed in our out-patient surgery center.
