Key Hole Surgery Arthroscopy
Home > Key Hole Surgery Arthroscopy
Overview
Arthroscopy, commonly known as keyhole surgery, is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to diagnose and treat problems within joints. At Kedar Hospital, Chennai, our orthopaedic surgeons use advanced arthroscopic equipment to treat conditions of the knee, shoulder, ankle, and hip with smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
About the Condition
Joint problems are often caused by torn cartilage (meniscus), damaged ligaments (ACL, PCL), inflamed synovial tissue, loose bodies within the joint, or cartilage defects. Many of these conditions do not show clearly on imaging and require arthroscopic assessment for definitive diagnosis. Patients typically present with joint pain, swelling, locking, catching, or instability that limits daily function and sport activity.
Treatment Process
- Clinical assessment and imaging (MRI or X-ray)
- Pre-operative planning and patient counselling
- Insertion of a tiny camera (arthroscope) through a small incision
- Visualisation of the joint on a high-definition monitor
- Surgical repair or removal of damaged tissue using specialised instruments
- Post-operative physiotherapy for full functional recovery
Key Benefits
- Smaller incisions — minimal scarring
- Reduced pain and swelling after surgery
- Shorter hospital stay — often day surgery
- Faster return to work and sports
- Lower risk of infection and complications
