Why choose us
Honest Screening
We only operate if it will actually fix the problem.
Home the Same Day
Most arthroscopy is day-care, so you sleep in your own bed that night.
Recovery Plan Up Front
We outline rehab expectations early so you know what the process involves.
When is arthroscopy needed, and when is it not?
Not every knee or shoulder pain needs surgery. Common reasons people are advised arthroscopy include mechanical locking, recurrent instability, or a tear that keeps symptoms stuck despite good rehab. Arthroscopy is considered when there is a clear structural problem, the symptoms match the scan, and daily life remains limited despite structured rehabilitation. In South Delhi clinics, we also check that the exam and scan tell the same story.
It is usually not the first step for early arthritis, non-specific pain, or mild tendon inflammation. Many patients improve with physiotherapy, guided injections, and activity modification. We base the decision on a detailed exam and scan review, not just the MRI report.
What is arthroscopy and why is it used?
Arthroscopy uses a small camera and fine instruments to look inside a joint and treat specific problems through small incisions. It lets your orthopedic specialist confirm what is actually causing symptoms and address repairable tissue without a large cut.
It is commonly used for the knee and shoulder, especially when pain or instability does not improve with physiotherapy or injections.
What does arthroscopy treat in the knee vs shoulder?
Knee
- Meniscus
- ACL
- Cartilage
Shoulder
- Rotator cuff
- Dislocation
- Frozen shoulder
Use this quick map to see common arthroscopy targets in the knee and shoulder. We confirm the diagnosis with exam and imaging, then explain whether rehab should come first and whether the expected benefit is realistic.
What happens during an arthroscopy procedure?
On the day of surgery, the team confirms the plan and explains what will be done inside the joint. Arthroscopy is done under regional or general anesthesia, depending on the joint and your medical profile. The camera lets the surgeon see cartilage, ligaments, and tendons in detail.
Day-care in most cases
Most arthroscopy is day-care, so you usually sleep in your own bed that night.
After the operation, a dressing or brace may be used, and you receive a rehab plan so you know what is safe.
What does recovery and follow-up look like?
Recovery depends on the joint, the repair, and your baseline fitness. Meniscus trimming often allows earlier movement, while repairs and ligament reconstructions need a more protected phase. Shoulder repairs need a careful, graded return of motion and strength.
FAQs
How much does arthroscopy cost in South Delhi?
Costs vary based on the joint involved (knee or shoulder), whether the plan is a simple repair versus a reconstruction, implant or graft choices, the hospital/day-care setting, anesthesia needs, and the rehabilitation plan. We recommend a focused consult so the estimate reflects your diagnosis, activity goals, and the safest recovery pathway without surprises.
Is arthroscopy always needed for meniscus tears?
No. Many tears improve with physiotherapy and careful activity planning. Arthroscopy is considered when pain, locking, or swelling continue despite rehab.
Will shoulder arthroscopy fix all pain?
It can address structural tears and instability, but pain relief depends on the exact diagnosis, tissue quality, and your rehab participation.
Will I return to sports after an ACL injury?
Many patients do return to sport. Our goal is not just fixing the tear but building a safe return plan based on your sport, strength, movement quality, and rehab milestones.
Do I need an MRI before arthroscopy?
MRI helps clarify the diagnosis, but decisions are made alongside clinical examination. Dr. Gaur explains when imaging changes the plan.
When is arthroscopy usually recommended?
We recommend it when symptoms, exam findings, and imaging point to a repairable problem and daily life is still limited despite good rehab.
