Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure in
which an arthroscope (a laparoscope
used specifically for joint ailments)
is inserted through a small incision
into the joint, to diagnose, repair
and reconstruct the interior of a
damaged joint.
As Arthroscopy is minimally invasive,
involving only a few, precise and
small incisions; it allows for reduced
discomfort and pain, quicker operating
times, minimal scarring, minimal
post-operative stress and extremely
quick recoveries. That is why many
professional athletes who undergo
joint injuries, usually opt for
arthroscopy. |

Anterior Cruciate Ligament
Reconstruction |
 |
|
|
The ACL is an important ligament in
the knee. It helps connect the muscles
in your thighs to your shin, allowing
you to bend your leg and move |
|
|
Sometimes, due to exertion or other
trauma, the ACL can tear. This is a
serious and possibly debilitating
injury, but can be fixed with
physiotherapy and surgical
reconstruction |

|
Meniscectomy (Removal of damaged
cartilage) |
|
|
This involves surgical extraction of
one of the cartilages of the knee
joint. It is usually performed when
the torn cartilage results in
long-term pain, instability or
obstructs movement of the joint. |

The leg is kept raised after to reduce
swelling |
