Millimetre‑level work inside the joint using HD optics and specialised instruments.
Less tissue trauma
Tiny portals reduce pain, scarring, and swelling compared to open surgery.
Faster recovery
Structured rehab protocols help you return to movement sooner.
Clear guidance
From diagnosis to rehab, your path is mapped step‑by‑step.
What is Arthroscopic Surgery in Delhi?
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure using a small camera and instruments inserted through 2–3 tiny portals. It enables direct visualisation and precise treatment of joint problems while protecting soft tissues and blood supply.
Compared to traditional open surgery, arthroscopy may offer less pain, smaller scars, fewer complications, and a quicker return to activity when appropriate.
Conditions We Treat with Arthroscopy
Knee
ACL tears, meniscus tears, cartilage injuries, loose bodies, patellar instability.
Shoulder
Rotator cuff tears, impingement, labral tears/instability, AC joint issues.
Hip
Labral tears, femoroacetabular impingement (FAI), cartilage lesions.
Ankle & others
Loose bodies, impingement, synovitis; selected elbow and wrist conditions.
Patients seeking Arthroscopic Surgery in Delhi receive a plan tailored to sport, work demands, and recovery goals.
Benefits
- Small incisions, less pain and swelling
- Day‑care/short hospital stay for many cases
- Precise treatment under direct vision
- Structured rehab for safer, quicker return
Risks & How We Reduce Them
- Infection, clots, stiffness—reduced with protocols
- Persistent pain or re‑tear—minimised by correct indications and technique
- Nerve or vessel irritation—limited by careful portal placement
Common Arthroscopic Procedures
ACL reconstruction (knee)
Anatomic graft placement with meniscus repair when indicated for stability and long‑term knee health.
Meniscus repair/trim
Repair preferred when possible; selective trimming for unstable, non‑repairable tears.
Rotator cuff repair (shoulder)
All‑arthroscopic tendon repair with subacromial decompression when appropriate.
Stabilisation (Bankart/Latarjet)
Arthroscopic labral repair or bone‑block procedures for recurrent shoulder dislocations.
Hip labral repair/FAI
Cam/pincer reshaping and labral repair to reduce impingement and pain.
Loose bodies & cartilage
Removal of loose bodies and cartilage procedures to smooth, stimulate, or restore surfaces.
How Arthroscopy is Performed
- Anaesthesia & positioning: Regional or general anaesthesia; joint positioned for access and safety.
- Portals & camera: 2–3 tiny incisions allow camera and instruments into the joint.
- Diagnosis & treatment: Damaged tissue is repaired or removed; grafts placed as needed.
- Closure: Small sutures or strips; sterile dressing applied.
- Recovery plan: Pain control, icing, sling/brace if required, and an early rehab protocol.
Day‑care friendly
Many cases go home the same day after monitoring and instruction.
Rehab matters
Outcomes depend on guided physiotherapy and gradual load progression.
Return to sport
Timelines vary: e.g., ACL 6–9+ months; meniscus repair 3–4 months; cuff repair 4–6+ months.
Recovery Timeline
- Week 0–2: Swelling control, wound care, gentle motion; sling/brace if advised.
- Week 3–6: Range‑of‑motion and early strength; gait/arm pattern retraining.
- Week 6–12: Progressive strengthening; light work/ADLs as permitted.
- Month 3–6+: Sport‑specific drills; return to play when criteria are met.
Rehab pacing after Arthroscopic Surgery in Delhi depends on the joint, procedure type, and tissue healing.
