Anatomy
Common Causes That Lead to Arthroscopy.
Torn meniscus
The meniscus acts as a shock absorber in the knee joint. The meniscus tear causes swelling, pain, and difficulty in moving.
Torn ligaments
Torn ligaments are tough bands of tissue that connect the knee joint. Ligaments with tears, such as the MCL or ACL, require surgical repair.
Bone fragments
The bone fragments may sometimes break down and move freely in the knee joint. These broken fragments cause pain and affect your mobility. Knee arthroscopy removes these fragments and restores your knee health.
Synovitis
Synovitis is the inflammation of the synovium that lines the knee joint. It causes swelling, stiffness, and pain. Arthroscopy removes the inflamed tissues and swelling.
Patellofemoral Pain Syndrome or Runner’s knee
It causes pain around the knee cap, and arthroscopy identifies the cause of pain, such as damage to cartilage or misalignment in the kneecap.
Types of Knee Arthroscopy Dubai
ACL injuries can vary in severity and are categorized into three main grades:
Arthroscopy for meniscus repair or removal
Ligament reconstruction for ACL or MCL tears
To repair damaged cartilage using techniques such as microfracture or cartilage grafts.
Debridement to remove inflamed or damaged tissue in the knee joint.
Synovectomy removes the inflamed synovium.
Arthroscopy to remove loose bodies in the knee joint
In some instances, arthroscopy is performed for diagnostic purposes. Here, the surgeon identifies the underlying knee injuries.
When is the Treatment Recommended?
Knee doctor Dubai recommends arthroscopy if you have consistent knee pain that isn’t cured with non-surgical treatments. The non-surgical treatments are rest, ice, medications, and physical therapy.
Knee arthroscopy specialists use arthroscopy to visualize your knee’s bones, cartilage, and soft tissues. They diagnose knee injuries and proceed with the minimally invasive knee replacement procedure.
Candidates Eligible for Arthroscopy Knee Replacement in Dubai
- Athletes who wish to regain their stability and functionality after a specific sports injury such as MCL or ACL tears, fractures, meniscus damage, or ligament tears.
- Individuals with overuse injuries such as meniscus tear and cartilage wear
- To address degenerative conditions such as degenerative joint disease.
Minimally invasive knee replacement - treatment procedure
After verifying your medical records and conducting a detailed physical examination, your knee doctor will give you anesthesia to start the procedure.
The surgeon secures your knee using a stabilizing device and keeps it in the proper position throughout the surgery. After the initial process, the surgeon makes an incision to insert the arthroscope with a camera on one end. The images from the camera are displayed on the monitor in the operating room. After diagnosing the injuries, the surgeon makes another incision to insert tiny tools and repair those injuries.
After the process, the surgeon closes the incisions with small bandages or stitches and wraps your knee with a large bandage. The same day knee surgery results in quick recovery.
