Procedure Details:
Dr. Ketan Vekhande is one of the best-known surgeons for Shoulder and Knee Arthroscopy in Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar (Aurangabad). He specializes in arthroscopic knee and shoulder joint surgery and is renowned for his expertise in performing Knee Arthroscopic procedures, such as ACL and PCL reconstruction (ligament injuries), Meniscus Surgeries, Cartilage Surgeries and the treatment of Knee Arthritis.
Arthroscopy is a relatively new addition to the world of surgical procedures. It is a surgical technique that employs orthopaedic surgeons to visualize and address abnormalities within a joint.
During arthroscopic surgery, an orthopaedic surgeon makes a small incision in the patient’s skin and inserts pencil-sized equipment with a small lens and lighting system to magnify and illuminate the structures inside the joint. Light is transmitted to the end of the arthroscope, which is inserted into the joint through fiber optics.
The surgeon can observe the interior of the joint through this extremely small incision rather than the larger incision required for open surgery, as the arthroscope is attached to a miniature camera.
The benefits of arthroscopic surgeries include:
- A smaller incision area
- Minimal damage to healthy areas of the joint
- Shorter recovery times
- Reduced scarring
Although arthroscopy is an option for both athletes and non-athletic individuals, these benefits can be crucial for those who need to return to sports or work as quickly as possible.
Dr. Ketan Vekhande is an expert in arthroscopic surgery, with more than 10 years of experience in the field.
