Arthroscopic Surgery
The last several decades have seen significant advances in the field of orthopedics. One example is arthroscopic surgery, a minimally invasive technique used to diagnose and treat joint problems.
Methodist Hospital's orthopedic surgeons use highly specialized instruments, inserted through incisions about one-half inch in size, to reconstruct joints including knees, elbows, wrists and shoulders. These surgical procedures are used to lessen pain, reduce recovery time and allow you to regain the full use of the joint as soon as possible.
