Arthoscopy

1.KNEE ARTHROSCOPY- PARTIAL OPEN MENISECTOMY

Arthroscopy is a key hole procedure and is increasingly being indicated in knee joint problems like a torn meniscus,torn ACL and PCL ligaments and of late even in fractures with the knee. Arthroscopy involves lesser size incision,less blood loss,lesser time for rehabilitation and faster return to activity.

2.KNEE ARTHROSCOPY- PARTIAL CLOSED MENISECTOMY

Arthroscopy is a key hole procedure and is increasingly being indicated in knee joint problems like a torn meniscus,torn ACL and PCL ligaments and of late even in fractures with the knee. Arthroscopy involves lesser size incision,less blood loss,lesser time for rehabilitation and faster return to activity.

3.SHOULDER ARTHROSCOPY- ROTATOR CUFF REPAIR

Shoulder Arthroscopy is next common to Knee Arthroscopy.
It is being indicated of late for repair of the torn rotator cuff.

4.OSTEOCHONDRITIS DISSECANS LEFT KNEE

Osteochondritis Dissecans is a rare condition affecting young adults. Here there is loosening and detachment of the articular cartilage with a chunk of bone commonly from the Non Weight bearing medial condyle of the femur. The exact cause of this conditions is still known. It is due to the cut of the blood supply to the cartilage due to some unknown reasons. This causes pain,swelling,limp and locking.
Arthroscopic removal is indicated in such situations and later multiple drill holes placed in the huge defect helps regrowth of the lost cartilage back. There is a threat of Secondary Osteoarthritis from developing early in life and patient should be warned about this possibility.
Here is the bird's eyeview of the Arthroscopic removal of the loose bodies due to OCD and Multiple Drilling of the defect with K-Wire surgical steps done at our center from incision to closure (Clockwise from top left). This is for education purpose only.

5.ACL REPAIR OF THE KNEE

Tear of the Anterior Cruciate Ligament of the knee is one of the most common indication for arthroscopic surgery. It is more common in active and sports persons. It makes the knee unstable and leads to future arthritis. Hence an Old ACL tear needs to be reconstructed using the avilable grafts around the knee. It is a hihgly advanced surgery and needs lots of expertise.
