Why choose us
Suitability Screening
We discuss surgery only when the exam, scan, and symptoms point to a problem that surgery can realistically help.
Day-Care When Suitable
Selected arthroscopy cases may be planned as day-care when the diagnosis, procedure, and health profile fit.
Recovery Plan Up Front
We outline rehab expectations early so you know what the process involves.
What is arthroscopy and why is it used?
Arthroscopy is a camera-assisted technique used for selected knee and shoulder problems when symptoms, exam, and imaging point to a repairable issue.
Arthroscopy means camera surgery through 2-3 very small cuts. We go inside, check the real problem, and fix what is repairable. It usually involves less tissue disruption than open surgery, and discharge timing depends on the procedure and recovery status.
When is arthroscopy needed, and when is it not?
Not every knee or shoulder pain needs surgery. We see this often. If the knee keeps locking, the shoulder keeps slipping, or pain still blocks daily life after structured rehab, then we discuss whether keyhole surgery can help. If pain is settling, do not rush. We continue non-surgical care and review progress.
What does arthroscopy treat in the knee vs shoulder?
Procedure Explorer
Tab 1: Knee
Locking/Clicking?
Check: Meniscus pattern to assess
Knee giving way?
Check: Ligament stability to assess
Tab 2: Shoulder
Can't lift arm?
Check: Rotator cuff strength and tear pattern
Dislocates often?
Check: Instability pattern and labrum
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?
The Patient Journey
Step 1 (Morning)
Check-in & Anesthesia Review.
Step 2 (Procedure)
Planned keyhole procedure based on the repair needed.
Step 3 (Evening)
Assisted walk and discharge only when safe.
Simple flow. Check-in, anesthesia review, then the planned procedure. The time taken depends on what needs to be repaired. After surgery, we help you stand or walk only when it is safe, and discharge depends on the procedure, anesthesia recovery, pain control, and your health profile. Family knows exactly what to do.
What does recovery and follow-up look like?
Return-to-Sport Milestones
Phase 1
Comfortable walking build-up
Phase 2
Gym & strengthening when control returns
Phase 3
Running or sport after milestone review
Progression depends on injury severity, strength, swelling, and movement quality.
Do not panic about recovery. First pain and swelling settle. Then movement. Then strength. Many patients build daily walking first, restart gym or sport later, and return to activity only after milestone-based rehab. Timelines vary by procedure, tissue healing, work demands, and rehab progress, so we review step by step.
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 symptoms such as true locking, repeated swelling, or function-limiting pain continue despite structured rehab and match the exam and scan.
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.
