Advanced Keyhole Surgery for Accurate Diagnosis & Faster Recovery
Expert Arthroscopy for Accurate Diagnosis and Treatment
At Pure Ortho Hospitals, we specialize in arthroscopy, a minimally invasive surgical technique used to diagnose and treat joint problems with precision and minimal downtime.
Using a tiny high-definition camera called an arthroscope, our orthopedic experts can view the inside of your joint and perform targeted treatments through small, keyhole-sized incisions, ensuring faster recovery and less pain.
What Happens if Joint Problems Are Not Treated in Time?
Ignoring persistent joint pain, stiffness, or swelling can lead to serious long-term complications. Early-stage joint issues that could have been managed with simple procedures like arthroscopy might progress to a point where major surgeries become unavoidable.
Risks of Delaying Treatment
- Worsening Damage – Minor cartilage tears may turn into severe joint degeneration
- Chronic Pain – Untreated injuries often result in persistent discomfort
- Loss of Mobility – Stiffness and reduced flexibility limit everyday movements
- Joint Deformities – Prolonged inflammation or arthritis can permanently damage joints
- Complex Surgeries Later – Delays may make total joint replacement inevitable
- Reduced Quality of Life – Daily activities, work, and fitness get significantly impacted
How Arthroscopy Is Performed
- Initial Assessment – Detailed evaluation and advanced imaging to plan treatment
- Keyhole Incisions – Tiny cuts made near the affected joint
- Camera Visualization – A miniature camera provides a magnified, HD view inside the joint
- Targeted Treatment – Specialized instruments repair or remove damaged tissues
Why Arthroscopy Is Preferred
- Minimally Invasive – Small incisions mean less pain and minimal scarring
- Faster Recovery – Return to your routine within weeks instead of months
- Lower Risk – Reduced chances of infections and complications
- High Accuracy – Direct visualization ensures precise diagnosis and treatment
Conditions Treated with Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy is used to diagnose and treat various joint-related problems:
- Knee Issues – Meniscus tears, ACL/PCL injuries, cartilage damage
- Shoulder Problems – Rotator cuff tears, shoulder instability, frozen shoulder
- Hip Disorders – Labral tears, impingement syndromes, early arthritis
- Ankle Injuries – Cartilage defects, instability, chronic swelling
- Wrist Conditions – Ligament tears, inflammation, and sports-related injuries

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
1. When is arthroscopy recommended?
It’s usually suggested when non-surgical treatments fail to relieve joint pain, stiffness, or swelling. It helps diagnose and treat issues like torn ligaments, cartilage damage, and joint inflammation.
2. Is arthroscopy painful?
No. Arthroscopy is performed under anesthesia. Post-surgery discomfort is minimal and managed with medications and physiotherapy.
3. How long does recovery take?
Most patients resume light activities within a week, and complete recovery typically takes 3 to 6 weeks, depending on the joint treated.
4. Are there any risks involved?
Arthroscopy is safe and minimally invasive. Risks are rare and include minor swelling or temporary stiffness, which are managed easily.
5. Will I need physiotherapy after arthroscopy?
Yes. Personalized physiotherapy ensures faster recovery, restores mobility, and strengthens the joint.
6. Can arthroscopy prevent major joint surgery?
Absolutely. In many cases, early arthroscopy treats minor problems before they escalate, reducing the need for joint replacement in the future.
