Elbow Arthroscopy Surgery in Kochi

Overview

Elbow arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgery that is performed to diagnose and treat various conditions of the elbow. In this procedure, a small arthroscope, or camera, is inserted into the elbow joint through small incisions. By using the arthroscope, the surgeon can visualize the inside of the joint and address issues such as loose body, damaged cartilage, inflammation, or a ligament tear. With smaller incisions and less disruption of the tissue compared to traditional surgery, the patient can recover much faster with less pain and better functioning. This is typically performed as an outpatient procedure, which means it is less invasive than open surgery. Read on to know more.
