Arthroscopic Surgery — Minimally Invasive Diagnosis & Treatment for Joint Problems
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive, key-hole surgical technique that lets our orthopedic surgeons see inside your joint and treat the problem through small incisions — without the extended recovery of traditional open surgery. At Kasare Hospital, we use arthroscopic techniques to accurately diagnose and treat injuries in the knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, wrist, and elbow.

About Arthroscopic Surgery at Kasare Hospital
Arthroscopy uses a thin instrument called an arthroscope — a small camera attached to a light source — inserted through a tiny incision to give our surgeons a clear, magnified view inside your joint. Specialized surgical instruments are then guided through additional small incisions to repair the problem, all without the large opening required in traditional open surgery.
Because arthroscopy avoids large incisions, it typically means less tissue damage, less post-operative pain, a lower risk of infection, and a faster return to daily activities compared to open surgery. It's used both to diagnose unclear joint problems and to treat a wide range of injuries once the cause is confirmed.
At Kasare Hospital, our orthopedic team performs arthroscopic procedures in our International Standard Modular Operation Theatre, combining advanced arthroscopic equipment with careful pre-surgical evaluation to ensure the right treatment for your joint.
When Arthroscopic Surgery May Be Recommended
🔴 Persistent joint pain not responding to rest or physiotherapy
🔴 Suspected torn cartilage, meniscus, or ligament
🔴 Joint locking, catching, or giving way
🔴 Recurring swelling in a joint
🔴 An unclear diagnosis that needs direct visualization
🔴 A sports or activity-related injury requiring repair

What to Expect From Arthroscopic Surgery
Most arthroscopic procedures are performed as day-case or short-stay surgery under local, regional, or general anesthesia depending on the joint and procedure. Because the incisions are small, recovery is typically quicker than open surgery, though it still requires a guided rehabilitation plan for the best outcome.
✓ Small incisions with an arthroscopic camera and instruments
✓ Same-day or short hospital stay for most procedures
✓ Guided physiotherapy to restore strength and movement
Smaller Incisions, Faster Return to Movement
If persistent joint pain, swelling, or instability is affecting your daily life, consult our orthopedic specialists at Kasare Hospital to find out if arthroscopic surgery is right for you.

What Our Patients Say
★★★★★
My knee kept locking up and no scan could fully explain why. Arthroscopy found and fixed a torn meniscus in one procedure, with barely any scarring.
— Nitin S., Yavatmal
★★★★★
My shoulder pain from a rotator cuff tear had gone on for months. The arthroscopic repair meant I was back to light activity much sooner than I expected.
— Komal T.
★★★★★
I was nervous about surgery, but being a day-case procedure with such a short recovery made the whole experience far less stressful than I expected.
— Ramdas P.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. How is arthroscopic surgery different from open surgery?
Arthroscopy uses a few small incisions and a camera-guided approach instead of one large incision, which generally means less tissue damage, less pain, and a faster recovery.
Q2. Which joints can be treated with arthroscopy?
Arthroscopy is most commonly used on the knee and shoulder, but it can also treat the hip, ankle, wrist, and elbow, depending on the condition.
Q3. Is arthroscopic surgery a day-case procedure?
Many arthroscopic procedures are same-day or short-stay surgeries, though this depends on the joint, the extent of the repair, and your overall health.
Q4. How long is the recovery after arthroscopic surgery?
Recovery is typically faster than open surgery, but the exact timeline depends on the joint and procedure — your surgeon will outline a guided rehabilitation plan specific to your case.
Q5. Is arthroscopy only used for surgery, or also for diagnosis?
Both. Arthroscopy can be used purely to visualize and confirm a diagnosis when imaging isn't conclusive, or to treat the problem in the same procedure once it's identified.
Q6. What type of anesthesia is used?
This depends on the joint and complexity of the procedure — local, regional, or general anesthesia may be used. Your surgical team will discuss the right option for you beforehand.
Q7. Are there risks with arthroscopic surgery?
As with any surgery, there are some risks, including infection or stiffness, though these are uncommon. Choosing an experienced surgical team lowers these risks significantly.
Q8. Is arthroscopic surgery covered by insurance?
Kasare Hospital works with authorised mediclaim policy providers to offer cashless treatment for eligible arthroscopic procedures and admissions.
