ARTHROSCOPY

Arthroscopy is a minor surgical procedure used to see and treat problems inside your joints.It is an operation performed under anesthesia using 0.5 cm keyholes, through which, a camera and special surgical instruments are inserted into the joint to repair or remove damaged structures.It is commonly performed for conditions affecting the Knee and Shoulder, but is also used in other joints.

JOINT REPLACEMENT

• Joint Replacement is a surgical procedure, performed for replacing diseased joints like the Knee, Hip, Shoulder, Elbow and other smaller joints with an artificial interface.The durability of an artificial joint varies depending on the interface, technique and usage by the patient, besides other factors. About 95% of the joints are working fine, at the end of 10 years and 80% are OK, at the end of 20 years.
• After this period the artificial joints can become loose and might need to be re-operated with a fresh implant. This procedure is called a Revision Joint Replacement Surgery and is technically more demanding.Zimmer has now introduced the new High Flex Knee that allows squatting on the floor to suit Indian requirements.
