Wrist & Elbow Arthroscopy Package
Wrist and elbow arthroscopy are minimally invasive procedures used to examine and treat selected conditions affecting these joints. Using a small camera and specialized surgical instruments, an orthopaedic surgeon can view the joint and address specific problems through small incisions.
When Is Arthroscopy Recommended?
Wrist arthroscopy may be considered for certain ligament injuries, cartilage problems, persistent wrist pain, or joint damage. Elbow arthroscopy may be recommended for selected conditions such as loose bodies, joint stiffness, cartilage damage, or inflammation. The decision depends on symptoms, examination findings, imaging, and previous treatment.
How Does the Procedure Work?
The procedure is performed under appropriate anaesthesia. Small incisions are made to introduce the arthroscope and surgical instruments into the affected joint. The surgeon examines the joint and performs the required treatment based on the underlying condition.
Recovery After Arthroscopy
Recovery varies depending on the joint treated and the specific procedure performed. Some patients may need temporary activity restrictions or immobilization. Physiotherapy and rehabilitation may be recommended to improve movement, strength, and joint function. Your orthopaedic specialist will provide individualized recovery instructions.
Benefits of Wrist & Elbow Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy provides direct visualization of the joint while using small surgical incisions. For appropriately selected patients, it can help diagnose and treat certain joint conditions while supporting a structured recovery plan.
