Best arthroscopy surgeon in Madipakkam, Chennai.
Why Arthroscopy?
Arthroscopy is used for several key reasons:
- Diagnosis: It allows for direct visualization of the inside of a joint, which can help in diagnosing conditions that might not be visible on X-rays or MRIs.
- Minimally Invasive: Compared to open surgery, arthroscopy involves smaller incisions, which typically results in less pain, reduced risk of infection, and quicker recovery times.
- Treatment: In addition to diagnosing issues, arthroscopy can also be used to treat various joint problems. Surgeons can repair or remove damaged tissues, such as torn cartilage or ligaments, using specialized instruments.
- Faster Recovery: Because it’s less invasive, patients generally experience less trauma to the surrounding tissues, leading to a faster return to normal activities.
- Reduced Scarring: The smaller incisions used in arthroscopy generally result in less scarring compared to traditional open surgery.
- Outpatient Procedure: Many arthroscopic procedures can be done on an outpatient basis, meaning patients can go home the same day as the surgery, rather than staying overnight in the hospital.
WHEN DO YOU NEED SEEK MEDICAL ATTENTION?
- Persistent pain or symptoms that do not improve with
- Severe symptoms such as significant weakness, numbness, or loss of function.
- Impact on daily activities and quality of life.
Consulting with a healthcare provider, such as an orthopaedic specialist or a spine specialist, is crucial for an accurate diagnosis and to develop an appropriate treatment plan based on individual needs.
