Hip and Knee Joint Surgeries and Arthroscopy
These surgeries include diagnostic and therapeutic procedures used to treat joint injuries and degeneration, either through traditional (open) surgery or using arthroscopy, which relies on small incisions and a miniature camera.
First: Hip Joint Surgeries and Arthroscopy
🔹 Hip Arthroscopy
This is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat problems within the joint without major open surgery.
It is used to treat:
- Labral meniscus tear
- Fasciitis (Follicular Irritation of the Hip)
- Removal of loose bodies within the joint
- Synovitis
Advantages:
- Small incision
- Less post-operative pain
- Faster recovery compared to open surgery
🔹 Major Hip Surgeries
- Total Hip Replacement: Used in cases of severe degeneration or complex fractures Fracture fixation surgeries around the joint
- Surgeries to correct congenital deformities
- Second: Knee joint surgeries and arthroscopies
🔹 Knee arthroscopy
One of the most common procedures in orthopedic surgery.
Used to treat:
- Meniscus tears
- Anterior and posterior cruciate ligament injuries
- Cleaning the joint of minor abrasions
- Removal of loose bodies
- Synovitis
Advantages:
- Very small incisions
- Hospital discharge often on the same day
- Shorter recovery period
🔹 Major knee surgeries
- ACL reconstruction
- Osteotomy (correction of bowlegs)
- Total or partial knee replacement in advanced cases of osteoarthritis
Recovery time
- Arthroscopy: 2 to 6 weeks depending on the case
- Major surgeries: 3 to 6 months with regular physical therapy
Goals of these surgeries
- Pain relief
- Improved range of motion
- Restored ability to perform daily activities or sports
