Procedures performed by the Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology

Surgeries performed through arthroscopic method

Arthroscopy is a method which ensures the examination and treatment of joints through small lacerations.

  • Meniscus tears: A sudden twist or recurrent bends in knee may lead to the meniscus tears. This results in pain and swelling in knee. For the treatment, the arthroscopic repair is administrated. The meniscus is removed or stitched depending on the location of tear.
  • Ligament tears: Particularly, frontal cruciate and medial collateral ligaments injuries are observed. For the treatment, the arthroscopic ligament repair is performed.
  • Cartilage wear: There may be injury due to impact or aging. In some cases, a ruptured cartilage particle may travel freely within the joint. This is called "joint mouse". In the treatment, re-congestion of cartilage is ensured.
