What the procedure involves.
Arthroscopic surgery uses a tiny camera and specialized instruments inserted through small incisions to diagnose and treat joint problems in the knee, shoulder, hip, wrist, and ankle. China's orthopedic hospitals are equipped with HD and 4K arthroscopy systems for superior visualization. This minimally invasive approach reduces tissue trauma, shortens recovery, and allows same-day discharge for many procedures.
Step by step.
Clinical Evaluation
Physical examination, imaging studies, and determination of the specific joint pathology requiring treatment
Arthroscopic Procedure
Small portal incisions, joint distension, camera insertion for visualization, and targeted treatment of pathology
Same-day Recovery
Post-anesthesia monitoring, wound closure with steri-strips, and discharge instructions
Rehabilitation
Structured physiotherapy program tailored to the specific procedure performed
- Minimally invasive with tiny incisions and less scarring
- Faster recovery compared to open surgery
- Accurate diagnosis and treatment in one procedure
- Reduced infection risk and post-operative pain
- Infection of the joint
- Nerve or blood vessel injury
- Cartilage damage from instruments
- Blood clots in the leg
