Arthroscopy (Keyhole Surgery)
Arthroscopy is a type of keyhole surgery used to examine or repair joints. Keyhole surgery involves making only small incisions into the body. Arthroscopy is most commonly used to treat knee injuries. It’s also good for your ankles, hips, shoulders, wrists, and elbows. It can assist in determining what is causing your joint pain, swelling, and stiffness. Dr. Priyanshu Dixit is an arthroscopy specialist who is skilled, trained, and experienced. Most patients who have arthroscopic surgery take anywhere from a week to several months to fully recover. Commonly, patients must follow certain recovery procedures. Exercise is an essential component of your recovery strategy. You may be given an information sheet that includes a set of daily exercises to do at home. In some cases, you may be referred to a physiotherapist for a few weeks for additional exercise assistance and support.
