 As revealed by its name, “key-hole” surgery is done by creating small incisions around the joint and inserting an arthroscope into the joint space. As it is minimally invasive, this procedure is associated with rapid surgery recovery time, decreased risk of infection, less scarring, less pain and bleeding and best of all it reduces “downtime” for the patient, enabling a quick return to work, and even sports.

 Arthroscopic “Key-hole” surgery is a minimally invasive technique which allows surgeons to diagnose a joint problem and repair the cartilage and internal tissues. Arthroscopic surgery is largely preferred by patients as compared to traditional open surgery.

+===Joint Replacements===
 The joints in our body are susceptible to injury from accidents, sports, as well as the degenerative “wear and tear” conditions associated with aging. Osteoarthritis is one of them, and it is a very common form of disability resulting in chronic joint pain and being unable to weight bear with the affected limb. This condition occur when the protective lubricant and cartilage which covers your joints has disintegrated, leaving the bones to rub against each other, causing friction and pain. Common complaints by patients include feeling or hearing a clicking or grating sound when moving the limb with the affected joint. You might be a candidate for a joint replacement is non-surgical treatments no longer help to relieve your joint pain.

 Do you have an “old” injury that has started causing you pain again? Initially it could be pain on usage, but progressively it can deteriorate and cause pain at rest and keep you up at night. We treat both degenerative and soft tissue problems affecting the shoulder and elbow. This includes primary and revision arthroplasty of the shoulder and elbow, minimally invasive arthroscopic keyhole techniques for treatment of soft tissue problems such as bankart lesions and rotator cuff tears.

 Opening doors, using tools, doing yard work, lifting groceries; your hands play a major role in the course of your daily activities. As a result, the chance of hand or wrist injury is high; from bruises and sprains to breaks, strained tendons and carpal tunnel syndrome. Our hands and wrists are made up of many delicate anatomic structures, which are threatened by injuries and conditions like arthritis and nerve compressions.

 Foot and ankle problems are most frequently caused by nerve damage, aging, arthritis, poor blood circulation, diabetes, and infection that can result in ulcers, sores and deformities. Feet can also be susceptible to sports injuries, fractures, sprains and other traumatic injuries.
