Arthroscopic surgery with the aid of modern endoscopic tools, allows us to treat various injuries in any joint, in a minimal invasive way, followed by a short stay in the clinic and fast rehabilitation.
When the knee is concerned, the latest evolutions are:
- Improvement of the tools available for meniscal repair.
- Availability of a synthetic or cadaveric whole meniscal graft for transplantation, when the entire meniscus has been removed and we want to prevent osteoarthritis.
- Modern techniques for treatment of cartilage lesions – especially large ones.
- Treatment of injury or instability of the patella.
- Appropriate treatment of knee instability following complex injuries involving tears of the anterior cruciate ligament, the posterior cruciate ligament, the collateral ligaments, and the posterior ligamentous complex.
- Improvements in the technique of fixation of the anterior cruciate ligament.
- Arthroscopically assisted osteosynthesis of intra-articular fractures of the knee under direct vision.
In the shoulder the latest evolutions are:
- Improvement of the ways to repair the supraspinatus muscle
- Treatment of shoulder instability and tears of the glenohumeral ligaments
- Decompression of the subacromial space in cases of subacromial impingement
- Treatment of tendinopathy of the long head of the biceps muscle
- Treatment of shoulder osteoarthritis
In the elbow the latest evolutions are on the treatment of:
- Medial and lateral epicondylitis
- Elbow instability and ligamentous injuries
- Osteoarthritis and the presence of loose bodies
- Chondral and osteochondral lesions
- Arthroscopically assisted osteosynthesis of intra-articular fractures of the elbow, especially of the head of the radius, under direct vision
When the ankle is concerned, the latest evolutions are on the treatment of:
- Osteoarthritic changes of the ankle joint
- Chondral and osteochondral lesions
- Ankle instability
- Impingement syndrome
- Osteochondritis dissecans and osteonecrosis of the ankle
- Removal of loose bodies
- Arthroscopically assisted osteosynthesis of intra-articular fractures of the distal part of the tibia, and the ankle under direct vision
In the hip the latest evolutions are on the treatment of:
- Osteoarthritic changes
- Chondral and osteochondral lesions
- Femoral acetabular impingement syndrome (FAI)
- Osteochondritis and osteonecrosis of the femoral head
- Removal of loose bodies
