Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy surgery is the procedure in which the treatment of the damage of the interior part of a joint is performed using an arthroscope. It can help detect various problems such as the cause of persistent joint pains, excessive fluid in the joints and damaged cartilage.

The arthroscope is a special type of camera inserted into the joint through a small incision and allows the surgeon a view of the common area on a video monitor. A second incision is made for the insertion of tiny surgical instruments that are used both to diagnose and to perform what is needed during the operation—removing damaged tissue, suturing and other repairs.

The doctor recommends arthroscopy if you have inflammation in a joint or have a joint with arthritis that got worse over time. 

Arthroscopic surgery can result in less joint pain and stiffness in the affected area. The patient can leave the hospital on the day of the surgery itself as is a minimally invasive and also generally takes less time. After surgery, the patient may return to light activity within a fortnight. Physical therapy is necessary to ensure proper healing of the operated joint.

 Some of the risks related to knee arthroscopy, such as:

  • Internal bleeding in the joint
  • Clotting of blood
  • Infection
  • stiffness in the operated joint
  • Damage to the cartilage, ligaments and blood vessels 

Arthroplasty

Arthroplasty surgery is an operative procedure in which the arthritic or damaged surfaces of the bone are removed and replaced with something better, called a prosthesis. The surgery performed to relieve pain and restore range of motion by realigning a dysfunctional joint.

The goal of arthroplasty is to restore the function of the affected joint and relieve pain. At the beginning of surgery, anaesthesia is administered to the patient. Then a small incision is made by the orthopaedic surgeon at the joint to carefully remove the least quantity of bone to allow free motion.

To determine the extent of the injury, the surgeon will evaluate the joint itself and enquire about the level of mobility, the condition of the ligaments and muscles around the affected joint to help develop the most effective postoperative rehabilitation plan. Diagnostic testing will typically include:

  • X-rays of the affected joint to determine loss of joint space 
  • CT, MRI, Bone densitometry tests
  • Blood tests to rule out infection
  • Before the surgery, standard preoperative blood and urine tests are performed. Clotting tests are performed if the patient has a history of bleeding.

Most patients enjoy an improved range of motion in the joint and relief from pain and will gain enhanced function. The risks of arthroplasty include an allergic reaction to anaesthesia, post-operative infection, or the formation of blood clots that may cause pain and swelling near the surgery site. Dislocation of the joint may occur in the absence of physical activity.

Next, the damaged portion of the joint is removed by cutting the thighbone with a saw. Then an artificial joint is attached to the thighbone using cement that allows the bone to connect to the joint. The doctor then prepares the surface of the hipbone by removing any damaged cartilage and attaches the replacement prosthetic. However, the surgeon must be highly skilled in this technique. After surgery, the patient may be asked to do gentle exercises in bed, such as:

  • Bending and flexing the ankle
