Arthroscopic joint surgery
Arthroscopic joint surgery is a minimally invasive option for treating joint conditions that cause pain, instability or limitation of motion. This surgery is performed through small incisions and uses a camera with a lens (arthroscope) and specialized instruments to repair or remove damaged tissue from the joint.
The advantages of this relatively recent technique are numerous. Being minimally invasive, it involves less pain and recovery time compared to open surgery. In addition, the use of the camera and specific material for this type of procedure allows for greater precision during surgery, which can reduce the risk of complications. There are also fewer visible scars since the incisions are much smaller.
It is especially useful in the treatment of tendon, ligament, cartilage, meniscus and labrum pathologies. It is also a very effective tool for the evaluation and treatment of complex residual pain problems in hip and knee prostheses. If other treatments, such as physical therapy or medications, cannot provide pain relief or improved mobility, arthroscopic joint surgery may be an option to consider.
The latest advances in arthroscopy have led to a significant improvement in our biological surgery treatments, obtaining better results with the combined use of both.
We are specialists in hip and knee arthroscopic surgical techniques such as: knee ACL ligamentoplasty, meniscal suture, knee biocondorplasty for cartilage injuries, hip arthroscopy for femoroacetabular impingement and labral reconstruction.
In summary, arthroscopic joint surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that can provide pain relief and improved mobility for people with joint disorders such as osteoarthritis, meniscus injuries or tendinopathies.
