Knee Arthroscopy Services at Dr. Lal’s Hospital & Research Centre
At Dr. Lal’s Hospital & Research Centre , we understand the debilitating effects knee injuries or conditions can have on your daily life. That’s why we’re dedicated to providing advanced orthopedic solutions, including state-of-the-art knee arthroscopy procedures, to help you regain mobility and comfort.
Advanced Diagnostic Capabilities
At Dr. Lal’s Hospital & Research Centre, Advanced diagnostic capabilities have greatly enhanced the precision and effectiveness of knee arthroscopy procedures. Here are some advanced diagnostic techniques commonly used in knee arthroscopy:
High-Definition Arthroscopy: High-definition cameras provide superior visualization of the knee joint structures during arthroscopy, allowing surgeons to detect even subtle abnormalities with greater clarity.
Arthroscopic Ultrasound: Ultrasound technology can be integrated into arthroscopic procedures to provide real-time imaging of soft tissues, such as tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. This helps in assessing the extent of injuries and guiding surgical interventions.
Arthroscopic MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging): Advanced arthroscopic systems may include MRI-compatible probes that allow for intraoperative MRI imaging. This enables surgeons to obtain detailed images of the knee joint during surgery, aiding in accurate diagnosis and treatment planning.
Fluorescence Arthroscopy: Fluorescence imaging techniques involve injecting fluorescent dyes into the joint, which selectively bind to specific tissues or structures. When illuminated with a specific wavelength of light, these tissues fluoresce, allowing for enhanced visualization of abnormalities, such as cartilage lesions or synovitis.
Precision Treatment Options
At Dr. Lal’s Hospital & Research Centre, Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat a variety of knee joint problems. The specific treatment options during knee arthroscopy depend on the condition being addressed. Here are some precision treatment options commonly performed during knee arthroscopy:
Meniscus Repair/Trimming: The meniscus is a cartilage structure in the knee that can tear due to injury or degeneration. During arthroscopy, torn parts of the meniscus can be trimmed away (partial meniscectomy) or, if possible, repaired using sutures or other techniques to promote healing.
Ligament Reconstruction: Injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), or other ligaments may require reconstruction. This involves replacing the torn ligament with a graft, often using tissue from another part of the body or a donor.
Cartilage Repair: Articular cartilage covers the ends of bones in the knee joint, and injuries to this cartilage can cause pain and limited mobility. Various techniques, such as microfracture, mosaicplasty, or autologous chondrocyte implantation (ACI), can be performed during arthroscopy to stimulate the growth of new cartilage or transplant healthy cartilage tissue into damaged areas.
Treatment of Patellar Problems: Arthroscopy can address issues related to the patella (kneecap), such as patellar tracking disorders, patellar instability, or patellar tendonitis. Procedures may involve realignment, smoothing of damaged cartilage, or tightening of ligaments.
