Hip Replacement Arthroscopic Menisectomy In India
Minimally Invasive Arthroscopic Surgery, Khroscopic Surgery, Knee
Arthroscopy Arthroscopic meniscectomy is an outpatient minimally invasive
surgical procedure used to treat a torn meniscus cartilage in the knee.
The meniscus is often torn as a result of sport-related injury in athletic
individuals. Only the torn segment of the meniscus is removed. Some patients
require assistance from physical therapists postoperatively. The average
time of return to all activities is 4-6 weeks after the surgery.
Possible Complications
Complications are rare but no procedure is completely free of risk. If you are
planning to have a meniscectomy, your doctor will review a list of possible
complications which may include:
Slide 3:
1. Swelling
2. Bleeding
3. Infection
4. Blood clots in the calf
5. Chronic weakness in knee joint
6. Worsening or unchanged pain
Some factors that may increase the risk of complications include:
1. Smoking
2. Poor nutrition
3. History of blood clots
4. long-term illness
5. Use of certain medications
Prior to Procedure
Your doctor may do the following:
* Medical history
* Physical exam
* X-ray of both knees
* MRI scan —a test that uses a strong magnetic field to make pictures of the
inside of the knee
* Blood test
Slide 4:
Talk to your doctor about your medicines. You may be asked to stop taking
some medicines up to one week before the procedure like:
* Aspirin or other anti-inflammatory drugs
* Blood thinners, such as clopidogrel (Plavix) or warfarin (Coumadin)
Description of the Procedure
There are two methods for meniscectomy:
* Arthroscopy
* Arthrotomy—an open technique that is rarely used today
Arthroscopy
Small incisions are made around the knee. Special tools are inserted
into the knee joint. A tiny camera will provide a view of the inside of the knee.
The damaged meniscus is either repaired or removed. The surgeon will
remove as little cartilage as possible. A drain may be inserted to drain away
fluid. The incisions are closed with stitches. The stitches are usually removed
in the surgeon's office one week later.
