Arthroscopy Surgery at RNH Hospital – Advanced Joint Care by Dr. Dilip Rathi

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive orthopedic procedure used to diagnose and treat joint problems. At RNH Hospital, we specialize in advanced arthroscopic surgeries performed by expert orthopedic surgeon Dr. Dilip Rathi, ensuring faster recovery, minimal pain, and excellent outcomes.

What is Arthroscopy?

Arthroscopy is a modern surgical technique where a small camera (arthroscope) is inserted into the joint through tiny incisions. This allows doctors to:

  • Diagnose joint problems accurately
  • Repair damaged tissues
  • Treat inflammation and injuries

Unlike traditional open surgery, arthroscopy is usually performed as a day-care procedure, meaning patients can return home the same day.

Joints Treated with Arthroscopy at RNH Hospital

At RNH Hospital, arthroscopy is commonly performed on:

  • Knee Arthroscopy
  • Shoulder Arthroscopy
  • Hip Arthroscopy
  • Elbow Arthroscopy
  • Ankle Arthroscopy
  • Wrist Arthroscopy

Our center is equipped with state-of-the-art arthroscopy systems for precise and safe procedures.

Conditions Treated

Arthroscopy is recommended if you have:

  • Ligament injuries (ACL/PCL tears)
  • Meniscus tears
  • Rotator cuff injuries
  • Joint inflammation or swelling
  • Cartilage damage
  • Chronic joint pain or stiffness

Preparing for Arthroscopy Surgery

Before undergoing arthroscopy at RNH Hospital, patients are advised to:

  • Inform the doctor about medications or supplements
  • Avoid food or drink before surgery (as advised)
  • Wear comfortable clothing
  • Remove jewellery and valuables
  • Arrange for someone to drive you home

Pre-surgical protocols are strictly followed as per National Accreditation Board for Hospitals & Healthcare Providers standards.

Procedure: What Happens During Arthroscopy?

The surgery is performed in a sterile operation theatre at RNH Hospital:

  1. Anaesthesia: Local, spinal, or general depending on the case
  2. Small Incisions: Tiny cuts (buttonhole size) are made
  3. Arthroscope Insertion: A camera is inserted to view the joint
  4. Diagnosis & Treatment: Specialized instruments repair the issue
  5. Closure: Incisions are closed with stitches or surgical tape

The entire procedure is precise, safe, and minimally invasive.

Recovery After Arthroscopy

Recovery at RNH Hospital is faster compared to traditional surgery:

  • Mild pain and swelling for a few days
  • Ice application recommended for first 24 hours
  • Use of sling, brace, or crutches if required
  • Return to work within a few days (depending on procedure)
  • Full recovery may take a few weeks to months

Our team provides personalized rehabilitation programs to ensure optimal recovery.
