Keyhole surgery for diagnosing and treating joint problems with faster recovery.
Arthroscopy, or keyhole surgery, lets us look inside a joint and treat problems through small incisions using a tiny camera and specialised instruments. Compared with open surgery, it means less pain, smaller scars, lower infection risk and a noticeably faster recovery.
What Arthroscopy Can Treat
- Meniscus and cartilage tears in the knee
- ACL and other ligament reconstructions
- Rotator-cuff repair and shoulder impingement
- Loose bodies and cartilage damage within the joint
- Persistent joint inflammation and unexplained joint pain
How the Procedure Works
Through one or two small openings, a high-definition camera projects the inside of your joint onto a screen, allowing precise diagnosis and treatment in the same sitting. Because surrounding tissue is preserved, most arthroscopic procedures are performed as day-care surgery — you go home the same day.
- Minimal incisions and minimal scarring
- Accurate, magnified view for precise repair
- Day-care surgery with early discharge
- Faster return to work and daily activity
Recovery
Recovery is typically quicker than with traditional surgery. A focused physiotherapy programme restores movement and strength, and most patients resume light activities within days and full activity over the following weeks, depending on the procedure.
