At Cherrywood Foot Care, we understand that certain joint injuries can be complex and may need a detailed examination for proper treatment. That’s where arthroscopy comes in. This minimally invasive surgical procedure allows us to diagnose and treat foot and ankle issues effectively.
What is Arthroscopy?
Arthroscopy utilizes a small instrument called an arthroscope, which is inserted through tiny incisions in the skin. This instrument features a tiny camera that provides a clear view of the area in question. Our skilled podiatrists can then use other small instruments to make any necessary corrections to alleviate your condition.
Benefits of Arthroscopic Surgery
One of the main advantages of arthroscopy is that it is less invasive than traditional surgeries. This means a lower risk of infection and swelling, leading to a faster healing and recovery time. Most arthroscopic procedures for the foot and ankle are performed on an outpatient basis, often using just a local anesthetic.
Conditions Treated with Arthroscopy
- Joint Injuries: Effective diagnosis and treatment of various joint injuries.
- Cartilage Damage: Repair of damaged cartilage in the foot and ankle.
- Bone Spurs: Removal of bone spurs that may cause discomfort.
