    How to Prepare for Arthroscopy Surgery?

    The following preparation steps are needed before undergoing arthroscopy surgery:

    • Discuss the procedure in detail, along with its potential benefits and risks with your arthroscopic surgeon beforehand.
    • You will be asked about your medical history and a list of current medications that you may be taking.
    • Let your surgeon know if you have any allergies.
    • You may be asked to stop taking certain blood-thinning medications before the procedure.
    • You will be told not to eat or drink anything at least eight hours before the procedure.

    What is the Procedure for Arthroscopy Surgery?

    An arthroscopy surgery may be performed under local anesthesia (numbs the treatment area), general anesthesia (the patient is put to sleep before the procedure), or spinal anesthesia (the area below the patient’s waist is numbed). The procedure is then carried out as follows:
    • The surgeon makes two or three small incisions in the treatment area.
    • A thin tube having a light and camera on one end, known as an arthroscope, and other small surgical instruments will be inserted by the surgeon through the incisions made.
    • The images obtained through the camera of the arthroscope are sent to the computer monitor to help the surgeon view the joints, tendons, ligaments, and cartilage.
    • The images help the surgeon make an accurate diagnosis of the condition and/or treat the condition.
    • The surgeon will then remove the arthroscope and surgical instruments.
    • The incisions created will then be closed with sutures.
    • This procedure usually takes about 60 to 90 minutes to complete.
    Our expert surgeons at SGVP Holistic Hospital offer painless and comfortable arthroscopic surgery in Ahmedabad.

    What to Expect After Arthroscopy Surgery?

    Most patients can go home a couple of hours after arthroscopy surgery. The following post-procedure instructions need to be followed after the surgery:

    • Do not put weight or pressure on the treatment area.
    • If the arthroscopy surgery was performed on the hip or leg, you may need to use assistive devices like crutches, walkers, etc.
    • You may need to wear a sling or brace after the procedure for some time.
    • You need to apply ice and elevate the treatment area after the procedure.
    • You need to keep your incision area clean and covered.
    • You may be prescribed some painkillers to relieve any discomfort after the procedure.
    • You should take showers, not baths, till your incisions heal completely.
    • You may need to take physiotherapy exercise sessions after the procedure.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Click to get answers to your questions

    A person having damaged or injured joints, tendons, ligaments, cartilage, and/or meniscus, may be a good candidate to undergo an arthroscopic surgery. 

    Joint pain, swelling, or injury that does not get relieved by using non-surgical treatments like braces or splints, medications, steroid injections, rest, or physical therapy may need to undergo an arthroscopy surgery.

    Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure done under the effect of anesthesia and the patient usually experiences no pain during the procedure. Most patients will have minimal or no pain and scarring after the procedure and prescribed painkillers will help relieve any discomfort that may occur after the procedure.

    The frequency of visits to your orthopedic doctor will vary depending on your specific orthopedic condition, recovery process, and treatment plan. Normally, the visits are recommended as follows:

    • Acute injuries: Frequent initial visits which decrease as you heal.
    • Chronic musculoskeletal conditions like arthritis: Regular checkups once every few months to manage the symptoms and adjust the treatment plan.
    • After orthopedic surgery: Frequent visits for the first few weeks after surgery to check healing. The frequency of visits will decrease gradually.
    • Follow-up and maintenance: Once symptoms like pain, swelling, limited mobility, and deformities are treated and the patient’s condition is stable, a visit to the orthopedic doctor is recommended once or twice a year.

    An orthopedic surgeon specializing in the conditions affecting the body’s musculoskeletal system can perform an arthroscopic surgery. A good arthroscopic surgeon should be well-trained in the use of an arthroscope and other tiny surgical instruments.

    Dr. Ravi Chhajed, Dr. Darshan Thakkar, and Dr. Kartik Shukla are considered to be the best arthroscopic surgeons in Ahmedabad and offer their exceptional services at SGVP Holistic Hospital in Ahmedabad.
