Small Joint Arthroscopy
Small joint arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat problems in small joints, such as those in the wrist, elbow, ankle, or shoulder. During the procedure, a small camera called an arthroscope is inserted into the joint through a small incision. This allows the surgeon to visualize the joint and surrounding structures on a monitor in real-time. Additional small incisions may be made to insert surgical instruments to repair or remove damaged tissue, repair ligaments, or remove loose bodies. Small joint arthroscopy is often performed on an outpatient basis and typically results in faster recovery times and less post-operative pain compared to traditional open surgery. It’s commonly used to treat conditions like arthritis, ligament injuries, and cartilage damage in small joints.
