Knee and Shoulder Arthroscopy

Life in Motion

Orthopedics and traumatology are a branch of surgery dedicated to diagnosing, treating, rehabilitating, and preventing injuries and diseases affecting the musculoskeletal system. This complex system encompasses bones, joints, ligaments, tendons, muscles, and nerves. At ABC Medical Center, we have clinics specializing in diagnosing, treating, rehabilitating, and preventing injuries and diseases affecting the musculoskeletal system.

Arthroscopic surgery

It is a minimally invasive knee surgery with the use of a 4mm lens, fiber optics, a high-definition monitor, irrigation systems, and various arthroscopic instruments that allow diagnosis and treatment of various injuries to this joint.

Advantages:

Minimal incisions.
Lower inflammatory response.
Less pain.
Reduces surgical and hospitalization time.
It allows a better visualization of the joint.

The following knee structures can be treated with this method:

Meniscus

They are fibrocartilaginous structures that cushion the forces transmitted to the knee. These can be injured horizontally, longitudinally, radially, obliquely, and in complex ways. They can be repaired (sutured) or reshaped.

Meniscus injuries can be traumatic or degenerative, the diagnosis is based on a detailed medical history and through imaging studies such as MRI.

Its symptoms are pain, swelling, and joint blockage (feeling that the knee is locking).

Knee dislocation

It consists of the patella coming out of its usual place, thereby preventing knee movements and causing intense and disabling pain.

A patella dislocation can be due to trauma or a recurrent dislocation, the former being the most common.

Symptoms of patella luxation are severe pain, inability to move the knee, and an increase in volume.

Wear (cartilage)

Joint wear and tear, also known as osteoarthritis, is a chronic disease characterized by the breakdown of cartilage in the joints. There are triggers such as major trauma and factors that accelerate its progression. There is also a genetic predisposition to suffer from the disease.

Symptoms are pain, joint stiffness, deformity, swelling, and functional disability.

Cruciate and collateral ligaments

Ligaments are elastic bands of tissue that join bones and provide stability to the joint. These ligaments tend to tear due to traumatic injuries and are more common in athletes.

The knee has four types of ligaments:

Anterior cruciate ligament.
Posterior cruciate ligament.
Medial collateral ligament.
Lateral collateral ligament.

Symptoms: pain, unsteady walking, swelling (due to internal bleeding).

Torn ligaments sometimes do not heal with immobilization alone, as they do not receive sufficient blood supply and may require surgery.

Shoulder arthroscopy

It is minimally invasive shoulder surgery with the use of a 4mm lens, fiber optics, a high-definition monitor, irrigation systems, and various arthroscopic instruments that allow diagnosis and treatment of various injuries to this joint.

Advantages:

Minimal incisions.
Lower inflammatory response.
Less pain
Reduces surgical and hospitalization time.
It allows better visualization of the shoulder.
