What is Arthroscopic Surgery?

Arthroscopic Surgery is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to diagnose and treat joint problems in the knee and shoulder. In this procedure, a small camera called an arthroscope is inserted into the joint through tiny incisions. This allows the surgeon to view the inside of the joint on a screen and perform necessary repairs using specialized instruments.

Unlike traditional open surgery, arthroscopy involves smaller cuts, less tissue damage, reduced pain, and faster recovery.

When You Need Arthroscopic Surgery

Arthroscopic Surgery may be recommended when:

• Persistent knee or shoulder pain that does not improve with treatment
• Sports injuries such as ligament tears or meniscus injuries
• Swelling, stiffness, or reduced joint movement
• Recurrent shoulder dislocations or instability
• Torn cartilage or damaged ligaments
• Failure of non-surgical treatments like medicines or physiotherapy

It is especially beneficial for active individuals and athletes who need quicker recovery.

Treatment Approach at Govil’s Clinic

At Govil’s Clinic, treatment begins with a detailed clinical evaluation by Dr. Gaurav Govil. Diagnostic tools such as MRI scans and physical examinations are used to identify the exact problem.

Treatment options include:

• Non-surgical management (medication, physiotherapy, injections) in early cases
• Arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery for ligament and cartilage repair
• Customized rehabilitation programs for faster recovery
• Sports injury-specific treatment plans

The goal is always to provide the least invasive and most effective treatment for each patient.
