What is Knee Arthroscopy?
Knee arthroscopy is a surgical technique that allows orthopedic surgeons like Dr. Aayush Bhargava at Rajul Nursing Home in Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, to diagnose and treat issues within the knee joint. Through this minimally invasive procedure, a small camera called an arthroscope is inserted into the knee joint, providing clear, detailed images. This approach allows for precise treatment of knee problems with less tissue damage compared to traditional open surgeries.
Common Conditions Treated
Dr. Bhargava employs knee arthroscopy to treat a variety of knee problems, such as meniscal tears, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries, and cartilage damage. The procedure is also effective for removing loose bodies, treating knee infections, and addressing joint inflammation. This technique is highly beneficial for athletes and individuals with active lifestyles who are prone to knee injuries.
Advantages of Knee Arthroscopy
Knee arthroscopy offers significant benefits over open knee surgeries. These include smaller incisions, which lead to reduced postoperative pain, lower risk of complications, and quicker recovery times. Patients often experience faster return to normal activities and less scarring, making this a preferred option for many knee conditions.
The Knee Arthroscopy Procedure
At Rajul Nursing Home, Dr. Bhargava performs knee arthroscopy under anesthesia. He makes small incisions around the knee to insert the arthroscope and specialized surgical tools. The live video feed from the arthroscope guides him in repairing or removing damaged tissue, ensuring minimal impact on healthy knee structures.
Post-Procedure Care and Recovery
After the knee arthroscopy, patients receive comprehensive postoperative care instructions, including pain management strategies, rehabilitation exercises, and guidance on gradually resuming activities. Dr. Bhargava and his team closely monitor the patient’s recovery through follow-up appointments, ensuring a successful return to daily activities and sports.
At Rajul Nursing Home, Dr. Aayush Bhargava is dedicated to providing advanced and personalized knee care, helping patients achieve optimal health and mobility through knee arthroscopy.
