Arthroscopy & Sports Injury

At Starcare International Hospital, our Arthroscopy & Sports Injury unit specializes in minimally invasive joint procedures designed to diagnose and treat various musculoskeletal conditions. Our expert orthopedic surgeons, highly trained in arthroscopic techniques, utilize state-of-the-art technology to deliver precise and effective treatments.

By inserting a small camera (arthroscope) through tiny incisions, our specialists can visualize, diagnose, and repair joint injuries without the need for large surgical openings. This advanced approach results in faster recovery, less pain, and a quicker return to daily activities, making it an ideal choice for athletes and individuals with active lifestyles.

What is Arthroscopy?

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique that allows surgeons to examine and treat joint problems using an arthroscope. This procedure helps preserve healthy tissues, reduce surgical trauma, and enhance recovery compared to traditional open surgery.

Knee Arthroscopy

One of the most commonly performed arthroscopic procedures, knee arthroscopy is used to treat a variety of knee conditions, including:

• Meniscus Tears – The meniscus acts as a shock absorber in the knee. Injuries can cause pain, swelling, and mobility issues.
• Ligament Injuries (ACL Tears) – Athletes frequently suffer ACL injuries, which can be successfully repaired using arthroscopic techniques.
• Cartilage Damage – Worn or damaged cartilage can lead to pain and restricted movement. Arthroscopy helps repair or remove damaged tissues effectively.

Shoulder Arthroscopy

Arthroscopic surgery for the shoulder is a proven technique to restore function and relieve pain in various shoulder conditions:

• Rotator Cuff Tears – A common injury due to aging or repetitive motion, leading to weakness and discomfort.
• Shoulder Impingement – Arthroscopy helps reduce pressure on tendons and improves mobility.
• Labral Tears – Damage to the shoulder labrum can cause instability and pain, often requiring arthroscopic repair.

Small Joint Arthroscopy

In addition to large joints, arthroscopy is also effective for smaller joints, such as the wrist and ankle:

• Wrist Injuries – Used to diagnose and treat ligament injuries and cartilage damage.
• Ankle Conditions – Helpful for removing loose bodies, treating inflammation, and addressing joint instability.

Benefits of Arthroscopy

• Minimally Invasive – Smaller incisions result in less trauma to surrounding tissues.
• Faster Recovery – Reduced tissue damage allows for quicker rehabilitation, making it ideal for athletes and active individuals.
• Lower Risk of Complications – The minimally invasive nature helps reduce infection risks and post-surgical complications.
• Versatile Applications – Used for knees, shoulders, elbows, ankles, and wrists, treating ligament tears (ACL), meniscus injuries, and cartilage damage with precision.
