Understanding Knee Arthritis and Treatment Options
The knee joint is intricate, comprising various components such as bones, cartilage, ligaments, and tendons. When arthritis or injuries compromise these structures, patients experience debilitating symptoms. Dr. Sachin Khalane specializes in knee arthritis treatment, utilizing cutting-edge techniques like knee arthroscopy to address these issues.
What Is Knee Arthroscopy?
Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed to diagnose and treat knee conditions. Through small incisions, an arthroscope is inserted, providing a clear view of the knee joint on a monitor. This allows us to assess and repair damaged structures, including meniscal tears, ligament injuries, and cartilage damage, with precision.
Indications for Knee Arthroscopy
Knee arthroscopy may be recommended for various knee conditions, including:
- Torn meniscus or ligaments
- Inflammation of synovial tissue
- Misalignment of the patella
- Knee fractures
- Baker’s cysts
