Arthroscopy
Minimally invasive or keyhole surgery has become popular since 1980s. Any part of our body cavity can be assessed through a small hole. Previously any operation in the knee involved big scar in front of the knee with pain and resulted in delayed rehabilitation. The advantages are surgery can be done as one-day procedure and the incision on the outside is so small that sometimes no stitches are needed to close the incision. This helps to reduce pain and quicker rehabilitation. This also results in saving patients time and hospital resources.
With the advent of smaller Arthroscopies, most joints including Elbow, Wrist and Ankle, are now accessible to direct visualization and therapeutic interventions.
