Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure in which the surgeon inserts an arthroscope into your joint through a small incision about 5-10mm long in the joint space area. The surgeon will look at your joint on a monitor, identify the lesion, treat the damage, and repair or even reconstruct it. Common Arthroscopic Procedures for Knee Sports Injuries 1. Meniscal Injuries Meniscal injuries are one of the most common sports injuries. In young patients, meniscal tears are often caused by sprains or falls of the knee, while in middle-aged and older patients, the meniscus can become brittle due to physiological degeneration and can tear without obvious trauma. The main symptom is walking pain, sometimes accompanied by intra-articular popping or interlocking. Most meniscal tears cannot heal on their own and require surgical treatment. The minimally invasive arthroscopic surgery used now is very traumatic and the functional recovery after surgery is remarkable, often allowing a rapid return to walking. 2, cruciate ligament injury After knee cruciate ligament injury, not only does it affect walking, the joint will lead to degenerative knee arthritis due to abnormal dynamic changes, and the chance of meniscal rupture and cartilage damage is quite high, and knee degeneration will occur. Due to the development of sports medicine, the development and advancement of cruciate ligament injury therapeutics has been prompted by the development of intra-articular anatomical reconstruction after cruciate ligament injury under arthroscopy, with the help of minimally invasive surgery to restore the injured person’s athletic ability and competitive level as much as possible with minimal surgical trauma. 3, patellar dislocation Patellar dislocation refers to the dislocation of the patella from the femoral trochlea during activity and often occurs in adolescents. The surgical treatment after acute dislocation is used to repair the torn medial stabilizing structure of the patellofemoral joint in situ, and to treat other accompanying injuries, which can significantly improve the patient’s postoperative quality of life and subjective satisfaction, reduce the possibility of patellar dislocation again after surgery, and minimize the impact of acute patellar dislocation on the knee joint. We have accumulated rich experience in using arthroscopy to treat various knee ligament injuries, meniscal injuries, patellar dislocations, and osteoarthritis, and have formed a series and standardized mature treatment plan with an experienced treatment team to escort your recovery.
