What to Expect Before, During, and After Arthroscopic Surgery

1. What to Expect Before, During, and After Arthroscopic Surgery

2. Understanding Arthroscopic Surgery • Minimally Invasive Procedure: Utilizes small incisions and a specialized camera (arthroscope). • Diagnostic Tool: Allows precise visualization of internal joint structures. • Therapeutic Benefits: Enables repair or treatment of damaged tissues with minimal disruption. • Advantages: Often leads to faster recovery, reduced pain, and less scarring compared to traditional surgery.

3. Before Your Surgery: Consultation & Preparation • Initial Consultation: Discuss your condition, medical history, and surgical options with our orthopedic specialists. • Diagnostic Tests: X-rays, MRIs, or other imaging may be used to plan the procedure. • Risk Assessment: Understanding potential risks, benefits, and alternatives. • Pre-operative Instructions: Guidance on diet, medications, and any necessary lifestyle adjustments.

4. Pre-Operative Instructions • Fasting: You'll typically need to avoid food and drink for a certain period before surgery. • Medication Management: Specific instructions on continuing or stopping medications (e.g., blood thinners). • Personal Items: What to bring to the hospital (e.g., comfortable clothing, personal care items). • Arrangements: Plan for transportation home and assistance for the first 24-48 hours post-surgery.

5. During Your Surgery • Anesthesia: Administered by a qualified anesthesiologist (general, regional, or local). • Incision: Tiny incisions are made to insert the arthroscope and surgical instruments. • Visualization: The surgeon views the joint's interior on a monitor via the arthroscope. • Treatment: Surgical instruments are used to perform repairs or address the diagnosed issue.

6. After Surgery: Immediate Recovery • Recovery Room: You'll be closely monitored as anesthesia wears off. • Pain Management: Medications will be administered to manage post-operative discomfort. • Vital Signs: Nurses will monitor your heart rate, blood pressure, and breathing. • Discharge Planning: Instructions for home care, pain management, and follow-up appointments will be provided.

7. After Surgery: Home Care & Pain Management • Pain Relief: Follow your prescribed pain medication schedule. • Wound Care: Keep incisions clean and dry as per instructions; use bandages provided. • Rest & Elevation: Allow your body to heal by resting and elevating the operated limb. • Activity Restrictions: Avoid strenuous activities and follow weight-bearing guidelines. • Warning Signs: Be aware of and report any signs of infection (fever, increased redness, pus) or severe pain.

8. Rehabilitation & Return to Activities • Physical Therapy: Crucial for regaining strength, flexibility, and range of motion. • Gradual Progression: Exercises will increase in intensity as you heal. • Timeline: Recovery varies by individual and the type of surgery, but a gradual return to normal activities is expected. • Follow-up: Regular check-ups with Best Orthopedic Hospital in Hisar to monitor progress.
