In our so busy day we keep suffering from one on the other health
issues and today we will broad your mind regarding Arthroscopy.
The word arthroscopy comes from two Greek words,
"arthro" (joint) and "skopein" (to look). The term
literally means "to look within the joint." During shoulder
arthroscopy, your surgeon inserts a small camera, called an arthroscope, into
your shoulder joint. The camera displays pictures on a television screen, and
your surgeon uses these images to guide miniature surgical instruments.
SHOULDER ARTHROSCOPY:
Shoulder arthroscopy has a smaller risk of complications and a better success rate than open surgery. Again, by doing less damage to nearby structures there is a smaller chance of post-surgery irritation in the shoulder joint that can cause pain or inhibit recovery. Perhaps most advantageous, arthroscopic shoulder surgery speeds up recovery times. Minimal incisions reduce the time your body needs to fully heal from the procedure. Thanks to arthroscopy, athletes and people with active lifestyles can return to their normal activities much faster.

Why the Procedure is
performed
- A torn or damaged cartilage
ring (labrum) or ligaments
- Shoulder instability, in which
the shoulder joint is loose and slides around too much or becomes
dislocated (slips out of the ball and socket joint)
- A torn or damaged biceps tendon
- A torn rotator
cuff
- A bone spur or inflammation
around the rotator cuff
- Inflammation or damaged lining
of the joint, often caused by an illness, such as rheumatoid
arthritis
- Arthritis of the end of the
clavicle (collarbone)
- Loose tissue that needs to be
removed
- Shoulder
impingement syndrome, to make more room for the shoulder to
move around
KNEE ARTHROSCOPY:
The
knee is one of the most commonly injured parts of the body and meniscal tears
are often the cause of knee pain. The meniscus is the tough,
rubbery cartilage that absorbs shock between the shin bone and thigh bone and
distributes weight across the knee joint. When this cartilage tears, it can
cause pain and instability in the knee joint. Meniscal tears can result from a
twisting injury in sporting activities, such as football or soccer, or even
something as simple as turning to put the dishes away. According to Dr.A.M RAJANI a Knee & Shoulder expert,
the most common condition for which a knee arthroscopy is done are Meniscus tears
and ACL tears
Symptoms
of meniscal tears:
- Pain
- Swelling
- Tenderness
- Mechanical symptoms, such as
locking, popping, and catching
