Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive orthopedic surgery performed for the diagnosis and treatment of joint related problems such a pain and swelling. It is usually performed to patients with long standing joint pains(arthritis ) when the surgeon wants to inspect the insides of a joint for diagnostic or therapeutic purpose.
It is usually performed for weight-bearing joints such as knee, shoulder, elbow, ankle, hip, and the wrist joint. For diagnosis, it is usually last option if physical examination or imaging tests are not able to determine the cause of pain . On the other hand, for treatment (therapeutic ) it is the most preferred surgical approach as it is minimally invasive as it provides quicker recovery with minimal complications.
Arthroscopic surgery is usually a minor surgery that is performed on an outpatient basis, as day care procedure in patients who have severe pain and immobility, and their symptoms persist despite medical management and physiotherapy-

Once the surgery is completed, these small incisions may be sutured and dressing done .
Most of the arthroscopic surgeries are completed within 60-90 minutes, after which the patient is advised admission for overnight observation with medications , physiotherapy and discharged with medical advice .
Most patients are able to resume daily activities within few days of surgery and work 2-4 weeks after surgery based on orthopedicians advice .
If you have any signs of fever, severe pain, any discharge from the surgical site, inflammation(redness) of the incision site , consult your doctor immediately.
