What is the procedure for arthroscopy?

Your surgeon will perform an arthroscopic medical procedure in a clinic or outpatient room. This kind of sedation you receive is based on the joint and what your surgeon suspects are the problem. It very well might be general sedation or your surgeon will give it to you through your spine. They may likewise numb the region they are performing the medical procedure on.

Your surgeon will place tiny pencil-like instruments through a tiny cut (entry point) the size of a buttonhole. The arthroscope tool they utilize has a camera lens and a light. It permits them to view inside the joint. The camera projects a picture of the joint onto a screen. The specialist, Dr. Giridhar Boyapati will fill the joint with clean liquid to extend it so it's simpler to see.

They'll view inside the joint, diagnose the issue, and choose what sort of a procedure you need if any. If you require a medical procedure, the surgeon will place special instruments through other tiny cuts. They'll utilize them to cut, shave, handle, and anchor stitches into bone.

If your specialist decides you need conventional, "open" surgery to fix the issue, they may do it simultaneously as your arthroscopic surgery.

Subsequently, they'll eliminate the arthroscope and any connections. They'll close the injury with unique tape or lines.
