Knee Arthroscopy in Raichur
Advanced Keyhole Knee Surgery by Dr. Vishal Patil
If knee pain is affecting your daily life, sports performance, or mobility, knee arthroscopy offers a modern and effective solution. At Dr. Vishal Patil Orthopedic Clinic, Raichur, we provide advanced minimally invasive knee arthroscopy surgery to diagnose and treat knee joint problems with precision and faster recovery.
What is Knee Arthroscopy?
Knee arthroscopy is a keyhole surgical procedure that allows the orthopedic surgeon to look inside the knee joint using a small camera called an arthroscope. Through tiny incisions, damaged tissues such as cartilage, ligaments, or inflamed joint lining can be repaired or removed.
This procedure is widely used for sports injuries, meniscus tears, ligament damage, and unexplained knee pain.
Conditions Treated with Knee Arthroscopy
Knee arthroscopy is commonly recommended for the following conditions:
Meniscus (cartilage) tear
ACL / PCL ligament injuries
Loose bone or cartilage fragments
Knee locking or instability
Cartilage damage
Synovitis (inflamed joint lining)
Why Knee Arthroscopy is Preferred
- Small incisions with minimal scarring
- Less pain compared to open surgery
- Faster healing and recovery
- Lower infection risk
- Short hospital stay or day-care surgery
- Early return to work and daily activities
