Comprehensive Care for Arthroscopic Surgeries at Nirmal Superspeciality Hospital Welcome to Nirmal Superspeciality Hospital's guide to arthroscopic surgeries. Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to diagnose and treat various joint-related conditions. This guide aims to provide valuable information about arthroscopic surgeries, common procedures, benefits, and our specialized approach to comprehensive care. Understanding Arthroscopic Surgery: Arthroscopic surgery involves the use of a small, pencil-sized camera called an arthroscope, which is inserted into the joint through tiny incisions. This allows orthopedic surgeons to visualize the inside of the joint and perform precise surgical procedures with specialized instruments. Arthroscopy is commonly used to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, elbow, and wrist joints. Common Arthroscopic Procedures: Arthroscopic surgery can be used to address a wide range of joint-related problems, including: Arthroscopic surgery encompasses a wide range of procedures aimed at diagnosing and treating various joint-related conditions. Here are some common arthroscopic procedures performed at Nirmal Superspeciality Hospital, along with examples of conditions they address: 1. Knee Arthroscopy: • Meniscectomy: Surgical removal of torn portions of the meniscus, commonly performed for meniscus tears. • ACL Reconstruction: Reconstruction of the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) using graft tissue, indicated for ACL tears. • Chondroplasty: Smoothing or trimming of damaged cartilage surfaces, often performed for cartilage lesions. • Synovectomy: Removal of inflamed synovial tissue, indicated for conditions such as synovitis or plica syndrome. 2. Shoulder Arthroscopy: • Rotator Cuff Repair: Repair of torn tendons in the rotator cuff, common in cases of rotator cuff tears. • Labral Repair: Repair of a torn labrum in the shoulder joint, indicated for labral tears or instability. • Subacromial Decompression: Removal of excess bone or tissue to relieve pressure on the rotator cuff tendons, performed for shoulder impingement syndrome. • Bankart Repair: Reconstruction of the labrum and ligaments to stabilize the shoulder joint, indicated for shoulder dislocations or instability. 3. Hip Arthroscopy: • Femoroplasty: Reshaping of the femoral head or neck to address impingement, performed for femoroacetabular impingement (FAI). • Labral Repair: Repair of a torn labrum in the hip joint, common in cases of labral tears. • Synovectomy: Removal of inflamed synovial tissue, indicated for conditions such as synovitis or infection. • Debridement: Removal of damaged tissue or loose bodies from the hip joint, performed for conditions such as hip arthritis or loose bodies. 4. Ankle Arthroscopy: • Osteochondral Lesion Repair: Repair of damaged cartilage and underlying bone, indicated for osteochondral lesions. • Ligament Repair: Repair or reconstruction of damaged ligaments, common in cases of ankle instability. • Debridement: Removal of damaged tissue or loose bodies from the ankle joint, performed for conditions such as ankle arthritis or loose bodies. 5. Elbow Arthroscopy: • Tennis Elbow Release: Release of the extensor tendon origin, indicated for lateral epicondylitis (tennis elbow). • Golfer's Elbow Release: Release of the flexor tendon origin, performed for medial epicondylitis (golfer's elbow). • Loose Body Removal: Removal of loose bodies or cartilage fragments from the elbow joint, common in cases of osteochondritis dissecans. 6. Wrist Arthroscopy: • TFCC Repair: Repair of the triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC), indicated for TFCC tears or injuries. • Ligament Repair: Repair or reconstruction of damaged wrist ligaments, common in cases of wrist instability. • Debridement: Removal of damaged tissue or ganglion cysts from the wrist joint, performed for conditions such as wrist arthritis or ganglion cysts. Benefits of Arthroscopic Surgery: Arthroscopic surgery offers several advantages over traditional open surgery, including: • Minimally Invasive: Arthroscopic procedures involve smaller incisions, resulting in less trauma to surrounding tissues, reduced scarring, and faster healing. • Accurate Diagnosis: The arthroscope provides a clear view of the joint interior, allowing for precise diagnosis of underlying conditions and accurate treatment planning. • Direct Treatment: Surgeons can perform a variety of surgical interventions directly within the joint, such as repairing torn ligaments, removing loose bodies, trimming damaged cartilage, and smoothing bone surfaces. • Faster Recovery: Patients typically experience shorter hospital stays, less postoperative pain, and quicker return to normal activities compared to traditional open surgery.
