Advanced Minimally Invasive Elbow Arthroscopy by Dr. Hemendra Agrawal

Dr. Hemendra Agrawal
MBBS, MS (Orthopedics) · Consultant, Narayana Hospital
Overview
Elbow arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat various elbow joint problems using a small camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments inserted through tiny incisions.
The elbow joint is formed by the humerus, radius, and ulna bones and is essential for bending, straightening, and rotational movements of the arm. Injuries, inflammation, or degenerative conditions can cause pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
Dr. Hemendra Agrawal performs advanced elbow arthroscopy using high-definition visualization to accurately identify and treat conditions such as loose bodies, cartilage damage, and joint stiffness.
This minimally invasive technique allows precise treatment with minimal tissue disruption, resulting in faster recovery, reduced pain, and improved functional outcomes compared to open surgery.
