Arthroscopic Surgery
Why Choose Arthroscopic Surgery
When joint pain, stiffness, or injury limits your daily activities—whether it’s climbing stairs, kneeling for prayer, playing sports, or simply walking comfortably—you deserve a treatment option that offers precision, minimal recovery time, and lasting relief. Arthroscopic Surgery is the modern, less invasive alternative to traditional open surgery, designed to diagnose and treat joint problems with unparalleled accuracy.
You may benefit from arthroscopic surgery if you experience:
- Persistent joint pain that doesn’t improve with rest or medication
- Swelling, locking, or instability in the knee, shoulder, hip, or ankle
- Difficulty with movement, bending, or weight-bearing
- Sports or activity-related injuries
- The need for a clear diagnosis when scans alone are inconclusive
At Rathi Hospital, we use this advanced technique to help patients from Gujarat, Rajasthan, and beyond regain mobility, reduce pain, and return to an active life—sooner and with smaller scars.
What is Arthroscopic Surgery
Arthroscopic Surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to examine, diagnose, and treat problems inside a joint. The term arthroscopy comes from the Greek words arthro (joint) and skopein (to look)—literally meaning “to look inside the joint.”
How it differs from traditional surgery:
Instead of making a large incision, the surgeon makes two or three small keyhole incisions (each about the size of a buttonhole). Through these tiny openings:
- A miniature camera (arthroscope) is inserted to project high-definition images of the joint onto a monitor
- Specialized surgical instruments are used to repair or remove damaged tissue
- The procedure is performed with real-time visual guidance, enhancing precision and safety
Common conditions treated with arthroscopy:
- Torn meniscus or cartilage (knee)
- Rotator cuff tears (shoulder)
- ACL or ligament injuries
- Loose bone or cartilage fragments
- Joint inflammation or infection
- Arthritis-related damage

How Arthroscopic Surgery Works
Steps
01
Detailed Evaluation & Personalized Planning
We begin with a thorough clinical assessment, supported by imaging (X-ray, MRI) to understand your joint condition. Your surgeon will explain whether arthroscopy is the right option for you and what to expect during and after the procedure.
Steps
02
The Arthroscopic Procedure
- Anesthesia: You’ll receive local, regional, or general anesthesia to ensure comfort.
- Small Incisions: The surgeon makes 2–3 tiny cuts around the joint.
- Insertion of Arthroscope: A flexible tube with a camera is inserted, transmitting live images to a high-definition screen.
- Joint Examination & Diagnosis: The surgeon inspects the joint in detail.
- Surgical Repair: Using specialized miniature instruments, repairs are made—such as trimming torn cartilage, stitching ligaments, or removing loose fragments.
- Closure: The incisions are closed with stitches or steri-strips, often leaving nearly invisible scars.
Steps
03
Rapid Recovery & Rehabilitation
- Immediate Post-Op: Brief monitoring in recovery, then discharge with care instructions
- First Few Days: Rest, ice, elevation, and prescribed medications to manage discomfort
- First Week: Start gentle movements and guided physiotherapy exercises
