Joint pain is a common work-related condition that can severely affect one’s ability to perform daily activities. Joint pain can affect anyone irrespective of profession, age, and sex.
In a national survey, about one-third of adults were reported to have been suffering from joint pain. It is found that as you get older, painful joints become more common. Joint pain can range from mildly irritating to severely debilitating. People usually manage joint pain with medication, physical therapy or alternative treatments.
If you have a chronic pain your doctor can suggest arthroscopy. They usually recommend this for treating inflammation in joints, injured joint, or damaged joint over time. Arthroscopy is commonly done on the knee, shoulder, elbow, ankle, hip, or wrist.
Arthroscopy is a procedure in which a surgeon inserts a narrow tube through a small incision. This tube is attached to a fiber-optic video camera which allows the surgeon to see inside your joint without making a large incision. They can even repair the damages in the joints during arthroscopy, with pencil-thin surgical instruments inserted through additional small incisions.
Conditions treated with arthroscopy include:
- Loose bone fragments
- Damaged or torn cartilage
- Inflamed joint linings
- Torn ligaments
- Scarring within joints
This is a very safe procedure and uncommon complications. Problems that may rarely happen include:
- Tissue or nerve damage as a result of the placement and movement of the instruments within the joint. This can damage the joint's structures.
- Infection. This includes any type of invasive surgery.
- Blood clots. This is a very rare condition that appears when procedures that last longer than an hour can increase the risk of blood clots developing in your legs or lungs.
