Arthroscopy Surgery in Kondhwa, Pune | Dr. Suhel Khan
Joint pain can limit mobility and impact everyday life. For many patients, traditional open surgeries may feel intimidating due to long recovery times. This is where arthroscopy comes in — a modern, minimally invasive technique that allows orthopedic surgeons to diagnose and treat joint problems with small incisions, faster healing, and less discomfort.
In this article, Dr. Suhel Khan, Consultant Robotic Joint Replacement Surgeon at Sana Hospital, Kondhwa, Pune, shares insights into arthroscopy, its benefits, recovery, and when it may be recommended.
What Is Arthroscopy?
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure where a small camera, called an arthroscope, is inserted into the joint through tiny incisions. This camera projects images on a screen, allowing the surgeon to see inside the joint clearly and perform corrective procedures with specialized instruments.
It is commonly used for:
- Knee injuries (meniscus tears, ligament injuries)
- Shoulder issues (rotator cuff tears, dislocations)
- Hip, ankle, and wrist joint conditions
- Removal of loose bone or cartilage fragments
- Treating early arthritis or inflammation
Benefits of Arthroscopy
Compared to traditional open surgery, arthroscopy offers several advantages:
- Smaller incisions and minimal scarring
- Less pain and faster recovery
- Shorter hospital stay
- Lower risk of infection
- Quick return to daily activities and sports
This makes it a preferred choice for athletes, working professionals, and patients seeking quicker recovery.
Recovery After Arthroscopy
Recovery depends on the joint treated and the extent of the procedure. At Sana Hospital, Kondhwa, Dr. Suhel Khan ensures patients receive personalized rehabilitation plans. General recovery milestones include:
- Walking with support within a day (in case of knee arthroscopy)
- Returning to desk work in 1–2 weeks
- Resuming light exercises in 3–4 weeks
- Full recovery in 6–8 weeks for most cases
Long-Term Outcomes
Arthroscopy has excellent long-term results when performed at the right time. Patients often report:
- Significant reduction in joint pain
- Improved range of motion
- Lower risk of complications compared to open surgery
- Better joint preservation and function over the years
