Arthroscopic Surgery
The orthopedic surgeons at The Center for Bone & Joint Surgery perform state-of-the-art arthroscopic surgery of the shoulder, elbow, hip, knee, and ankle. Arthroscopic surgery is a procedure that allows surgeons to see, diagnose, and treat problems inside a joint without having to open the joint.
Arthroscopy uses only small incisions to insert a tiny camera and miniature surgical instruments. Because only small incisions are used, you can expect less pain, less scars upon healing, a decreased risk of infection, and faster recovery time.
Many sports-related and overuse injuries can be treated successfully with arthroscopy, such as rotator cuff tears, shoulder impingement, dislocated shoulder, chronic tennis elbow, meniscus tears, cartilage damage, torn ligaments, and joint instability. Arthroscopy can also be used to remove loose cartilage and bone fragments within a joint.
