Orthopaedic Surgery
-
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure on a joint in which an examination and sometimes treatment of damage is performed using an arthroscope, an endoscope that is inserted into the joint through a small incision. It is commonly used for knees, shoulders, elbows, wrists, ankles, feet, and hips. This procedure allows doctors to view the joint without making a large incision, which can lead to shorter recovery times and less post-operative pain compared to traditional open surgery.

Arthroplasty Knee, also known as knee replacement surgery, is a surgical procedure where the damaged or diseased knee joint is replaced with artificial material. The knee is a hinge joint which provides motion at the point where the thigh meets the lower leg.
During a total knee replacement, the end of the femur bone is removed and replaced with a metal shell. The end of the lower leg bone (tibia) is also removed and replaced with a channeled plastic piece with a metal stem.
Depending on the condition of the kneecap portion of the knee joint, a plastic "button" may also be added under the kneecap surface. The artificial components of a total knee replacement are referred to as the prosthesis.
