Arthroscopy-Knee, Shoulder
Arthroscopy-Knee, Shoulder
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to diagnose and treat joint problems in the knee and shoulder. Using a tiny camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments, the procedure allows surgeons to repair damage with small incisions, ensuring faster recovery and less post-operative pain compared to traditional surgery.

Knee Arthroscopy
- Meniscus tears
- ACL/PCL injuries
- Cartilage damage
- Loose bone or cartilage fragments
- Early-stage arthritis management
Shoulder Arthroscopy
