In our so busy day we keep suffering from one on the other health issues and today we will broad your mind regarding Arthroscopy.The word arthroscopy comes from two Greek words, “arthro” (joint) and “skopein” (to look). The term literally means “to look within the joint.” During shoulder arthroscopy, your surgeon inserts a small camera, called an arthroscope, into your shoulder joint. The camera displays pictures on a television screen, and your surgeon uses these images to guide miniature surgical instruments.
SHOULDER ARTHROSCOPY:
Shoulder arthroscopy has a smaller risk of complications and a better success rate than open surgery. Again, by doing less damage to nearby structures there is a smaller chance of post-surgery irritation in the shoulder joint that can cause pain or inhibit recovery. Perhaps most advantageous, arthroscopic shoulder surgery speeds up recovery times. Minimal incisions reduce the time your body needs to fully heal from the procedure. Thanks to arthroscopy, athletes and people with active lifestyles can return to their normal activities much faster.
Why the Procedure is performed
The knee is one of the most commonly injured parts of the body and meniscal tears are often the cause of knee pain. The meniscus is the tough, rubbery cartilage that absorbs shock between the shin bone and thigh bone and distributes weight across the knee joint. When this cartilage tears, it can cause pain and instability in the knee joint. Meniscal tears can result from a twisting injury in sporting activities, such as football or soccer, or even something as simple as turning to put the dishes away. According to Dr. A.M RAJANI a Knee & Shoulder expert, the most common condition for which a knee arthroscopy is done are Meniscus tears and ACL tears

Why the Procedure is performed
- A torn or damaged cartilage ring (labrum) or ligaments
- Shoulder instability, in which the shoulder joint is loose and slides around too much or becomes dislocated (slips out of the ball and socket joint)
- A torn or damaged biceps tendon
- A torn rotator cuff
- A bone spur or inflammation around the rotator cuff
- Inflammation or damaged lining of the joint, often caused by an illness, such as rheumatoid arthritis
- Arthritis of the end of the clavicle (collarbone)
- Loose tissue that needs to be removed
- Shoulder impingement syndrome, to make more room for the shoulder to move around

Symptoms of meniscal tears:
- Pain
- Swelling
- Tenderness
- Mechanical symptoms, such as locking, popping, and catching
