Keyhole Surgery: Small Incisions, Big Results
Arthroscopy revolutionised orthopaedic surgery. Through incisions smaller than your fingernail, I can:
· Diagnose joint problems with precision
· Repair damaged cartilage
· Remove loose fragments
· Treat ligament injuries
· Address arthritis symptoms
· Repair labral tears
Advantages of arthroscopic surgery
✅ Minimal scarring
✅ Less post-operative pain
✅ Faster recovery
✅ Lower infection risk
✅ Earlier return to function
✅ Day-case procedure (go home same day)
Most commonly, I perform arthroscopy on:
· Knees (meniscal tears, ligament reconstruction)
· Hips (labral repairs, FAI correction)
· Ankles (cartilage problems, ligament issues)
But here’s what many don’t realise: Not every joint problem requires surgery, even arthroscopic surgery. The decision is based on your specific diagnosis, symptoms, functional limitations, and treatment goals.
Sometimes the best surgical outcome is avoiding unnecessary surgery.
