Ankle Arthroscopy Surgery in Jaipur
Advanced Minimally Invasive Ankle Arthroscopy by Dr. Hemendra Agrawal
What is Ankle Arthroscopy?
Ankle arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat various ankle joint problems using a small camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments inserted through tiny incisions.
The ankle joint is a complex structure that bears body weight and allows movement. Injuries, cartilage damage, ligament issues, or inflammation can lead to chronic pain, swelling, and restricted mobility.
Dr. Hemendra Agrawal performs advanced ankle arthroscopy using high-definition visualization to accurately identify and treat joint problems with precision. This technique allows for faster recovery, minimal scarring, and reduced post-operative pain.
The procedure is typically performed under regional or general anesthesia and is often done as a daycare surgery, allowing patients to return home the same day.
