Advanced Arthroscopy

Minimally invasive diagnostic & corrective joint preservation.

Arthroscopy utilizes sub-centimeter portals and fiber-optic lenses to treat ligament tears, cartilage erosion, and impingement. By bypassing large muscle cuts, this surgical protocol preserves blood supply, mitigates pain, and speeds up your return to sports.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions answered by Dr. Sai Dinesh regarding arthroscopic recovery and protocols.

No. Arthroscopy is keyhole surgery. It is performed through 2 or 3 tiny portal punctures (each about 4mm to 8mm wide). These are closed with single stitch or sterile strips and leave almost invisible hairline scars after healing.

For simple meniscectomy or joint washouts, you can bear full weight immediately on day one. If a meniscus repair or ACL reconstruction is done, you might need a protective knee brace and crutches for 2 to 4 weeks to protect the biological healing of the graft or suture.
