Arthroscopy In Vijayawada

arthroscopy

Arthroscopy in Vijayawada or key hole orthopedic surgery is one of the most exciting advancements in medical field where complex conditions can be evaluated and treated with small button sized holes in the joint.

Arthroscopy may be used to visualise the inside of the joint clearly and can simultaneously also be used to correct any issues within the joint. It is way quicker than traditional open surgery and the recovery time is also reduced drastically.

How is it performed?

Experienced orthopedic specialist in Vijayawada at Trust joint center will place a special pencil like instruments through a small cut the size of a buttonhole in the joint. The arthroscope tool they use has a camera lens and a light. It allows them to see inside the joint. The camera displays an image of the joint onto a screen. The joint is then filled with sterile fluid to broaden it so it’s easier to see.

Often the issue noticed in the joint is corrected simultaneously by inserting one or more probes into the joint which contain surgical tools at their tips. This is one the leading ways in which many orthopaedic conditions are being treated.

After care:

After an arthroscopic surgery, it is necessary to follow certain guidelines to ensure quick recovery. Proper rest followed by gradual movements and timely medication is necessary.

in case you experience persistent pain, fever and leaks from incision site, it is advised to immediately rush to emergency department.
