Arthroscopy
An opportunity for minimally invasive procedures.
Examine and Treat Without Large Incisions
Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that allows a surgeon to examine and treat a joint using an arthroscope, a thin tube with a camera and light source.
Arthroscopy is often used on the knee, but can also be performed on the ankle, hip, shoulder, wrist, or elbow. It can help diagnose the cause of pain, swelling, or stiffness in a joint, or treat conditions like torn ligaments or tendons, loose cartilage or bone, and some diseases.
Why Your Surgeon May Use Arthroscopy
Providers use arthroscopy to diagnose and treat a range of joint, tendon, and ligament problems, such as:
Your healthcare provider may recommend an arthroscopic procedure if you have injured or damaged your meniscus, cartilage, tendons, or ligaments. Arthroscopy may be an option if you don’t get relief from nonsurgical treatments such as:
- Braces or splints
- Medications and steroid injections
- Physical therapy
- Rest
We are committed to providing a high standard of care for patients with joint, tendon, and ligament conditions. Our goal is to reduce pain and facilitate a rapid recovery to a normal, pain-free lifestyle.
Trying Therapy First
Many joint problems respond to conservative care before surgery is considered. Liberty Sports & Physical Therapy is on-site at both locations, so nonsurgical treatment and post-surgical rehab happen under one roof.
