Arthroscopic Surgery in India for Treatment of Knee, Shoulder, Wrist, Hip Ankle and Elbow Joint at Low Cost

Arthroscopic surgery in India is possible across the country. Many of the most advanced medical facilities in the world exist outside of the United States, with specific programs carefully designed to attract international travelers such as Nigerian citizens. In fact, hospitals like Wockhardt, Ruby Fortis and Apollo have spent the last decade preparing for the explosive growth of medical tourism, specifically adhering to the same high standards that we in the United States have come to trust. Why do people want to travel half way around the world to undergo medical procedures? The answer is simple, Affordable healthcare, not to mention a little bit of leisure and peaceful recuperation in complete anonymity. India has now become a great destination for treatment abroad because of the significantly lower currency exchange rate and this equates to Incredible Savings. Arthroscopic surgery can be done in India at Low cost.

What is Arthroscopic Surgery?

Arthroscopic surgery consists of viewing a joint with a small camera inserted through an incision in the skin. Arthroscopy is most commonly performed on the knee joint, but it can also be used on the wrist, ankle, shoulder, or hip. Arthroscopic surgery is a common orthopedic procedure that is used to diagnose and treat problems in joints. The word "arthroscopy" comes from two Greek words: 'arthro,' meaning "joint," and 'scope,' meaning "look." Simply put, arthroscopic surgery is a means to look inside a joint. But arthroscopy is much more than that!

Types of Arthroscopic Surgery

Arthroscopic surgery could potentially be performed on any joint, and as time passes, more and more different joints are being arthroscopically treated. Common types of arthroscopic surgery include:

• Ø Knee Arthroscopy

 

• Ø Shoulder Arthroscopy

 

• Ø Hip Arthroscopy

 

• Ø Ankle Arthroscopy

 

• Ø Elbow Arthroscopy

 

• Ø Wrist Arthroscopy

When Needed:

Arthroscopy surgery may be recommended for joint injury pain, and joint pain problems, such as:Torn meniscus (either repair or remove)
Mild arthritis Loose bodies (small pieces of broken cartilage) in the knee joint, ankle joint, shoulder joint, hip joint etc. A torn or damaged anterior cruciate or posterior cruciate ligament
Inflamed or damaged lining of the joint (synovium)
Misalignment of the knee cap (patella).

Arthroscopy Surgery Procedure

When an Arthroscopy is performed, a camera is inserted into the joint through a small incision (about one centimeter). The arthroscopic surgery camera is attached to a fiberoptic light source and shows a picture of the inside of the joint on a television monitor. The surgeon uses fluid pumped through the joint to aid in visibility and clear debris from the joint. One or more other incisions are made to insert instruments that can treat a variety of conditions. For example, a shaver can be inserted to trim torn cartilage from a joint.

Risks of Arthroscopic Surgery

The risks of Arthroscopic surgery are much less than open surgery, but they are not nonexistent. The risk of any surgery carries with it danger in the use of anesthesia, including heart attacks, strokes, pneumonia, and blood clots. The risks are rare, but they increase with the age of the patient. Blood clots are the most common dangers, but they occur infrequently in arthroscopic surgery. Other risks include infections at the surgery site or at the skin level, bleeding, and skin scars.
