What is Arthroscopic Surgery?
Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat joint problems, such as injuries, inflammation, or wear and tear. The surgery uses a specialized tool called an arthroscope that has a small camera attached to view the surgical area properly. It can be done on any joint, ligament, or tendon.
Dr. Aditya’s Shoulder and Knee Clinic is well-known for its advanced treatments for joint problems. We are considered the best hospital for arthroscopy surgery in Mumbai. Our orthopedic team, led by Dr. Aditya Sai, is adept at performing arthroscopy surgery with precision.
Arthroscopy Causes and Symptoms
Arthroscopy may be recommended by the doctor in the following cases:
Arthroscopy Performed for Finding the Cause of Joint Problems
An arthroscopy may be recommended by the doctor to find what may be causing symptoms associated with joint problems. These symptoms may include:
- Joint pain
- Joint stiffness and swelling
- Joint locking (when the joint moves out of its position or gives away)
This procedure is generally recommended by the doctor only when other types of tests, like X-rays, have not been able to identify the cause of the symptoms.
Arthroscopy Done to Check the Health of the Joints
The doctor may sometimes recommend an arthroscopy to check how well the joint is functioning. This could be helpful in the following cases:
- Joint damage due to sports injury
- Osteoarthritis or other conditions that could lead to joint damage over time
Arthroscopy for Repairing the Damage to the Joints
The following joint conditions can be treated using arthroscopy:
- Torn or damaged cartilage
- Loose bone fragments
- Joint lining inflammation
- Torn ligaments
- Scarring within the joints
Advantages of Arthroscopic Surgery
These days, people prefer arthroscopy surgery over traditional open surgery as it offers many health advantages, like shorter hospital stays and quicker recovery periods. Some more benefits of arthroscopy surgery include:
- Better visualization of the operating area.
- The incisions made are very small, thereby causing minimal tissue damage.
- Since the cuts are small, the healing and recovery will be quicker.
- Chances of infection and other complications are reduced during and after the surgery as the incisions are tiny, and the procedure is monitored using an arthroscope.
- Patients will have reduced post-operative pain and discomfort.
Possible Types of Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy can be classified into different types depending on the location of the joint on which the procedure is being performed. The different types of arthroscopy surgeries include:
- Knee arthroscopy: This is the most common type of arthroscopy performed to view the region around the knee joints. The procedure helps in the diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as knee arthritis, meniscus tears, cartilage injuries, and ligament repair.
- Elbow arthroscopy: The doctor performs this type of arthroscopy is performed by the doctor to treat bone or cartilage instability, tendon damage, stress injuries, joint inflammation, and damage to the soft tissue around the elbow joint.
- Ankle arthroscopy: This arthroscopy may be performed for treating all the tissues in and around the ankle area, which may include damaged bones, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage of the ankle.
- Shoulder arthroscopy: The diagnosis and treatment of different shoulder diseases such as joint inflammation, shoulder instability, impingement syndrome, rotator cuff repair, and recurrent shoulder joint dislocations can be performed using this type of arthroscopy.
- Spine arthroscopy: Conditions like spinal injuries, spinal instability, and degenerative disc diseases can be diagnosed and treated using spine arthroscopy.
- Wrist arthroscopy: Wrist joint problems like wrist osteoarthritis, wrist bone fracture, stress injury, and ligament tear can be diagnosed and treated using this type of arthroscopy.
- Hip arthroscopy: The hip joint can be viewed clearly using this type of arthroscopy without the need to cut the ligaments or the muscles extensively. This type of procedure is normally recommended for treating femur (thigh bone) and acetabulum (the socket in the pelvic cavity) impingement, or any other conditions that could be associated with the hip joint.
- Temporomandibular joint arthroscopy: This arthroscopy may be performed to diagnose the damage to the temporomandibular joint surface and treat temporomandibular joint disorders.
Recovery Time Post-Arthroscopy Surgery
Complete recovery time after an arthroscopic surgery may vary from one week to several months for different patients.
The recovery time varies among different patients depending on different factors like the age of the patient, the overall health of the patient, the joint being treated, and the type of arthroscopic surgery being performed.
The recovery following arthroscopy surgery is as follows:
- The patient will experience some swelling, pain, and stiffness in the operated area for a couple of days after surgery. The patient needs to take sufficient rest during this period.
- Ice pack application on the operated area is recommended to reduce the swelling and inflammation after the surgery.
- The doctor will generally prescribe painkillers to relieve the discomfort after the surgery.
- The patient needs to use a walker, crutches, or other devices to aid in walking after arthroscopy in the knee, hip, or ankle region.
- Patients having a desk job can usually resume their work one week after surgery.
- Light forms of exercises like walking and stretching can be resumed one week after the surgery.
- The doctor may recommend wearing a joint cap or brace after the surgery.

- Strenuous activities need to be avoided till the doctor permits the same.
- Most patients can resume their normal activities about four weeks after the surgery.
Arthroscopy Surgery Process in Mumbai
The arthroscopy surgery process in Mumbai involves diagnostic tests and preparation, the procedure using an arthroscope, and the post-surgical steps and instructions.
Arthroscopy Surgery Preparation
The doctor recommends certain diagnostic tests before an arthroscopy surgery to assess the physical health of the patient and check if the patient is physically fit to undergo surgery. The diagnostic tests recommended may include the following:
- Physical examination: The damaged joint’s function and mobility are physically examined by the doctor.
- X-rays: The condition of the joint and the bones surrounding it can be checked by the doctor using X-rays.
- Imaging tests: Imaging tests like ultrasounds, CT scans, and MRI scans help the doctor in obtaining clear pictures of the joint.
- Blood and urine tests: The presence of certain infections and medical diseases can be checked using these tests.
The patient will need to undergo the following preparation before an arthroscopy:
- The arthroscopy surgeon needs to be informed about any medications, herbs, or supplements that the patient may be taking.
- The doctor may tell the patient to stop the consumption of blood-thinning medications a couple of days before the procedure to avoid the risk of excessive bleeding.
- The patient should inform the doctor about any allergies or sensitivities that he/she may be having.
- The patient needs to quit smoking at least fifteen days before an arthroscopy surgery.
- The patient will need to fast six to eight hours before the procedure.
Procedure for Arthroscopy Surgery
Arthroscopy surgery is done as follows:
- The procedure could be done under local anesthesia, which works by numbing the area of treatment; spinal anesthesia, which works by numbing the body waist downwards; or general anesthesia, which works by making the patient unconscious before the procedure.
- The surgeon will first create two to three small incisions or cuts in the affected joint region.
- The surgeon will then insert the arthroscope and other small surgical instruments through the incisions made.
- There is a camera present at the end of the arthroscope. This camera transmits the images of the joint on a monitor.
- The images obtained will help the surgeon view the joint region, ligaments, tendons, and cartilage, and detect or treat any issues with the joint.
- The arthroscope and surgical instruments will then be removed by the surgeon.
- The incisions created are then closed using sutures and bandages.
- The arthroscopy procedure may take 60 to 90 minutes to complete.
Recovery following Arthroscopy Surgery
The recovery after an arthroscopy surgery involves the following steps:
- The patient can usually go home on the same or the next day following an arthroscopy surgery.
- It is important to take adequate rest immediately after surgery.
- The patient will have some pain and swelling after the surgery.
- The doctor recommends certain painkillers to relieve the discomfort after the procedure.
- The doctor recommends the application of ice packs on the surgical area to reduce the swelling and bruising after the surgery.
- It is important to avoid putting any weight on the treatment area while recovering.
- If the procedure has been performed on a joint in the leg region, the patient needs to use crutches or another walking device for a few weeks after surgery.
- The patient needs to take physiotherapy sessions to improve the mobility and function of the joint.
- Most patients can resume normal daily activities within a few days after surgery. Strenuous activities should, however, be avoided for eight to twelve weeks after arthroscopy surgery.
Risks Associated with Arthroscopic Surgery
Arthroscopic surgery is considered to be a safe procedure and is generally not associated with any risks. Although uncommon, the following complications may be associated with arthroscopic surgery:
- Infection
- Damage to the artery
- Hemorrhage or excessive bleeding
- Nerve damage
- Damage to the ligaments, cartilage, tendons, or menisus
- Blood clot formation
- Allergy to the anesthetic agent used
- Numbness at the site of incision
- Persistent pain, stiffness, and swelling
- Heart and kidney problems
- Death (extremely rare)
How to Prepare for Arthroscopic Surgery?
The orthopedic surgeon recommends undergoing the following preparation before an arthroscopic surgery:
- The patient should speak with the doctor about any medicines or supplements that he or she may be taking.
- The patient needs to inform the doctor about any allergies that he or she may have.
- The area that needs to be operated on needs to be kept clean and free from sunburn, infection, or injury.
- Depending on the type of anesthesia being used, the patient may be asked to not eat or drink anything eight hours before the arthroscopic surgery.
- The doctor may instruct the patient to avoid taking certain medications or dietary supplements that may increase the risk of bleeding for a few days before surgery.
- The patient should wear loose, comfortable clothing over the area that will be operated on.
- The patient needs to arrange for someone to take him or her home after the surgery.
Post-Procedure Recovery
The patient is taken to the recovery room after arthroscopic surgery, where the patient will rest for an hour or more. Most patients can go home on the same day after surgery. The recovery after arthroscopic surgery is as follows:
- The doctor may recommend painkillers to relieve the discomfort after the procedure.
- Ice pack application or cold therapy is recommended for the first 24 hours after the procedure to reduce the swelling.
- Elevation of the operated joint can also help in reducing swelling and pain.
- The patient needs to avoid alcohol consumption and smoking for a few days after the procedure.
- The patient may need to use a splint, a sling, or crutches for support as he or she recovers.
- The patient can remove the surgical bandages on the incision site and replace the bandages using small strips of dressing the day after the surgery.
- If the patient is given non-dissolvable stitches, the doctor will remove them one or two weeks after the surgery. The dissolvable stitches, as the name suggests, will dissolve on their own over some time.
- During the wound healing period, the patient needs to keep the incision site as dry as possible. The site can be covered using a plastic bag while taking a bath.
- Most patients can resume going to work a few days after arthroscopic surgery. However, strenuous activities have to be avoided as complete recovery may take a couple of weeks or even months.
- Physiotherapy exercises and rehabilitation are recommended to improve the function and mobility of the operated joint, as well as strengthen the muscles.

Frequently Asked Questions
Arthroscopy (also referred to as keyhole surgery) is a surgical procedure to diagnose and treat joint conditions. To carry out this procedure, the arthroscopic surgeon makes a small incision and inserts a narrow tube to a fibre-optic camera, almost the size of a keyhole.
Arthroscopy is generally used to treat joint conditions, which include:
- Shoulder
- Knee
- Hip
- Ankle
- Wrist
- Elbow
Arthroscopy allows the specialist to look through the joint without making a large incision, making it a little expensive. But, arthroscopic surgery cost in Mumbai is somehow less expensive compared to other big cities. You may consult with Dr Aditya for affordable treatment.
During arthroscopic surgery, your doctor will numb the area where they are going to make an incision. Next, they will insert a unique pencil-thin instrument (the size of a keyhole). The device (arthroscope) has a light and camera lens, which helps the surgeon see the inside of the joint. The camera projects an image on a larger screen. The surgeon will then fill the joint with sterile fluid to widen it, making it easier to see.
If you are looking for arthroscopy in Mumbai, you may consider consulting with Dr Adiyta Sai or visit Shoulder And Knee Clinic.
The duration of arthroscopy surgery depends on the specific procedure being performed and the complexity of the condition, but it typically takes between 30 minutes to two hours.
Arthroscopy surgery is performed under anesthesia so patients do not experience pain during the procedure. However, some discomfort and soreness may be expected during the recovery period.
Risks and complications of arthroscopy surgery may include infection, bleeding, blood clots, nerve damage, and stiffness or instability of the joint.
Finding a specialist who performs arthroscopic surgery in Mumbai is anything but hassle-free. Most likely, it is your primary healthcare doctor who might have asked you to visit an arthroscopic specialist.
Before opting for the best arthroscopic specialist, here's what you need to consider:
1. Get referrals: Before choosing the right surgeon, ask your primary healthcare doctor to provide you with a referral list (list of doctors that you can consider paying a visit to). Moreover, you can ask your friends, family, relatives, and other experts. Besides, make sure you check the specialist's experience and credentials. As you narrow down the list, make an appointment to visit each arthroscopic specialist. You can even call their clinics and gather all the necessary details if the doctor is not available.
2. Research the specialist's credentials: It is a crucial step to follow as - you wouldn't want to hand yourself to a doctor who is not board certified or possesses no skills to provide treatment. Therefore, make sure you double-check the doctor's credentials. Board certification tells you that the doctor has undergone training and is skilled enough to provide healthcare facilities. Besides, check the doctor's history. Make sure they are not involved in disciplinary actions or malpractice claims. Go through their website (thoroughly) to find out about their medical school, training hospitals, experience, expertise, board certification, and most importantly - their history.
3. Consider the doctor's experience: Arthroscopic surgery is mainly performed by experienced surgeons. Before opting for the best specialist, consider their experience. When it's a matter of complex surgical (arthroscopic) operations, the more experienced the doctor is, the more likely the results will be. While visiting the doctors, ask them specific questions, such as,
How many patients (with the same condition as yours) have they treated in the past?
How many operations were successful?
What were the complication rates?
If there were any complications before, what are the chances you will have to face the same?
Besides, ask the doctor about the specific procedure you need to follow and all the risks involved.
4. Research hospital quality: Keep in mind that your doctor's hospital will be your hospital as long as the treatment lasts. You will have to pay visits at regular intervals - even stay for a day or two (depending upon the procedure). Therefore, considering the hospital quality - the quality of care they provide, ambulatory surgery centres, the expense is significant. Hospital quality matters a lot because top-rated hospitals have fewer possibilities of complications or risks - and better survival rates. Furthermore, consider the hospital's location as well. After the surgery, you have to pay frequent visits, which means - you need a convenient location.
Compared to other metropolitan cities and also due to the availability of skilled doctors, arthroscopic surgery cost in Mumbai isn't that heavy on the pocket, and also there are insurance companies who have flexible options.
5. Evaluate communication style: Communication is the key, no matter what. Choose an arthroscopic specialist with whom you are comfortable sharing your issues, which provides you with all the necessary information. If they support you and make you feel at ease, that's a plus point. When you first pay a visit to the surgeon/doctor - ask them questions and see how they respond to you. See if they have the patience to deal with your questions first, let alone your treatment. Check for your personal feelings - did you feel rushed or engaged? Are you able to understand them? Opt for the doctor who shows interest in your complications, who considers your treatment preferences, and who respects your decision-making. Also, consider reading patient reviews.
You may consider the above points when you look for arthroscopic surgery in Mumbai, or you can consult with Dr Aditya Sai at Arthroscopic surgery in Mumbai.
Arthroscopy centres offer a lot of additional amenities and adjustments according to the patient's convenience. After the surgery, you may experience some pain. Your doctor will prescribe you some medications for pain. They may also prescribe medications for blood clots or other side effects.
Arthroscopic surgery results in less joint pain and stiffness as compared to open surgery. Besides, recovery doesn't take a lot of time, just a couple of weeks or so. You may require a splint, crutches, or sling for support.
You will notice some small puncture wounds in your body where the arthroscopic tools were inserted. The day after the surgery, you may be able to remove the bandages and place small strips instead. However, your doctor will remove non-dissolvable incisions in a week or two.
While you are in the healing phase, you will need to keep the sites dry. A small amount of water exposure can result in difficulties. Therefore, cover them with a plastic bag or anything water-resistant while taking a shower.
Your doctor will provide you with a list of activities that you are more likely to avoid. Within a few days of surgery, you can go to school or continue working. Full joint recovery usually takes several weeks to months. Specific workouts and rehabilitation can help you recover fast. To undergo arthroscopic surgery in Mumbai at a reasonable cost, schedule an appointment with Dr Aditya Sai.
Physical therapy is often recommended after arthroscopy surgery to help improve strength, flexibility, and range of motion in the affected joint.
Patients may be advised to avoid certain activities, such as heavy lifting or high-impact exercise, for a period of time following arthroscopy surgery to allow for proper healing.
Arthroscopy surgery can be highly successful when performed by experienced orthopedic surgeons and combined with appropriate post-operative care and rehabilitation. However, outcomes can vary based on specific conditions.
