Arthroscopic Surgery in Mohali & Chandigarh

Superior Joint Care Through Small Incisions

Arthroscopy is a transformative surgical procedure used to visualize, diagnose, and treat problems inside a joint. Dr. Gaurav Saini utilizes an **Arthroscope**—a pencil-thin tube equipped with a high-definition camera and lighting system—to project a magnified view of the joint onto a monitor. This allow us to see structural issues that even an MRI might miss.

Because arthroscopy requires only tiny incisions (about the size of a buttonhole), it offers significant advantages over traditional "open" surgery. There is far less damage to the surrounding healthy tissues, which translates to a much more comfortable recovery and a faster return to work and daily life. We perform arthroscopy on nearly every major joint, including the knee, shoulder, hip, and ankle.

Comprehensive Approach

Diagnostic Arthroscopy

When MRI or physical exams leave questions, direct visualization provides the answer. We use Ultra-HD cameras to inspect cartilage, ligaments, and the joint lining to find the exact source of pain.

Therapeutic Arthroscopy

Most conditions can be treated during the same procedure. Using specialized micro-tools, we can trim torn tissue, repair ligaments, or remove loose bodies (debris) from the joint space.

Arthroscopy FAQ

Is arthroscopy considered major surgery?▼

While it is "surgery" requiring anesthesia, it is generally considered minimally invasive. Most patients go home the same day and experience significantly less trauma compared to traditional open joint surgery.

What is the recovery timeline?▼

Recovery depends on the joint and the repair made. Most patients can perform light activities within a few days and return to work in 1-2 weeks. Full athletic return usually takes 4-12 weeks depending on the procedure.

Are there any scars?▼

Since arthroscopy is minimally invasive, the incisions are very small (about the size of a buttonhole). Any resulting scars are minimal and often become barely visible over time.
