If joint pain is affecting your mobility and quality of life, Minimally-Invasive Arthroscopic Surgery may be the solution. At Advanced Orthopedics, we specialize in state-of-the-art arthroscopic procedures to diagnose and treat a wide range of joint conditions with less pain, faster recovery, and minimal scarring. Using advanced surgical technology, our expert orthopedic surgeons provide precise and effective treatment to help you get back to the activities you love.
Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat joint problems. Unlike traditional open surgery, which requires large incisions, arthroscopy involves small keyhole-sized incisions, through which a tiny camera (arthroscope) and specialized surgical instruments are inserted. This allows the surgeon to view, diagnose, and repair joint damage with greater precision and less disruption to surrounding tissues.
✅ Knee Arthroscopy – Treats meniscus tears, ACL injuries, cartilage damage, and arthritis.
✅ Shoulder Arthroscopy – Used for rotator cuff tears, shoulder impingement, labral tears, and instability.
✅ Hip Arthroscopy – Helps with hip impingement, labral tears, and cartilage injuries.
✅ Elbow Arthroscopy – Treats tennis elbow, loose bodies, and joint stiffness.
✅ Ankle Arthroscopy – Used for ligament injuries, bone spurs, and chronic ankle pain.
✅ Wrist Arthroscopy – Helps diagnose and treat carpal tunnel syndrome, wrist fractures, and ligament injuries.
✔ Smaller Incisions – Reduces scarring and promotes faster healing.
✔ Less Pain & Swelling – Minimally invasive techniques cause less tissue damage.
✔ Faster Recovery – Patients typically return to normal activities sooner than with open surgery.
✔ Lower Risk of Infection & Complications – Smaller incisions reduce exposure to infection.
✔ Precise Diagnosis & Treatment – The arthroscope provides a clear view inside the joint for accurate repairs.
🔹 Torn Ligaments & Tendons (e.g., ACL, rotator cuff)
🔹 Meniscus Tears & Cartilage Damage
🔹 Joint Inflammation (Synovitis)
🔹 Bone Spurs & Loose Bodies
🔹 Shoulder Instability & Dislocations
🔹 Hip & Knee Impingement
🔹 Early-Stage Arthritis & Cartilage Restoration
1️⃣ Small Incisions – Tiny incisions (about the size of a buttonhole) are made around the joint.
2️⃣ Insertion of the Arthroscope – A high-definition camera is inserted to provide a clear, magnified view of the joint.
3️⃣ Precision Repair – Specialized instruments are used to trim, repair, or reconstruct damaged tissues.
4️⃣ Minimal Closure – Incisions are closed with a few stitches or small bandages, leading to minimal scarring.
If you have persistent joint pain, swelling, or limited mobility that hasn’t improved with physical therapy or medication, arthroscopy may be the best option. At Advanced Orthopedics, our team will conduct a thorough evaluation, including X-rays, MRI scans, and physical exams, to determine if arthroscopic surgery is the right solution for you.
At Advanced Orthopedics, we are committed to providing minimally-invasive, cutting-edge treatments to help you heal faster, with less pain, and better long-term results. Our board-certified orthopedic surgeons use the latest arthroscopic techniques to ensure the best possible outcome for your joint health.
