What is arthroscopy and how does it work?
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique where a small camera called an arthroscope is inserted into a joint. It allows Dr. Ford to see inside the joint and treat issues without large incisions.
Which joints can be treated with arthroscopy?
Commonly treated joints include the knee, shoulder, ankle, wrist, and hip. Arthroscopy is effective for repairing ligaments, removing damaged tissue, and diagnosing joint problems.
What should I expect during recovery?
Recovery times vary depending on the procedure but are generally quicker than traditional surgery. You may experience mild discomfort, and physical therapy might be recommended to regain strength and mobility.
