Knee, Hip & Shoulder Arthroscopy
Advanced minimally invasive arthroscopic surgical treatments in Jaipur by Dr. Pramod Chahar.
What is Arthroscopy?
Knee arthroscopy is an advanced surgical technique that enables orthopedic surgeons to look inside the joint structure using a miniature lens without making a large open incision. This procedure is widely utilized to both diagnose and treat structural joint injuries.
During the procedure, a slender camera system called an arthroscope is inserted into the joint. Real-time high-definition visual feeds are transmitted to a monitor, allowing Dr. Pramod Chahar to guide precision micro-surgical instruments.
Because the incisions are very small, patients experience significantly less post-operative swelling, minor stiffness, reduced scarring, and accelerated recoveries compared to traditional open surgeries.

Common Knee Indications
- Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Tears
- Posterior Cruciate Ligament (PCL) Tears
- Meniscus Tears & Displacements
- Medial & Lateral Collateral Ligament (MCL/LCL) Injuries
- Synovial Inflammation & Cartilage Loss
- Removal of Loose Bone fragments or Baker's Cyst
Common Hip Indications
- Femoroacetabular Impingement (FAI)
- Acetabular Labral Tears
- Hip Synovitis & Trochanteric Bursitis
- Removal of Loose Cartilage Pieces
- Snapping Hip Syndrome Treatment
- Early-stage Hip Osteoarthritis Debridement
Common Shoulder Indications

- Bankart & Hill-Sachs Lesions (Instability)
- Adhesive Capsulitis (Frozen Shoulder)
- Subacromial Impingement & Bone Spurs
- AC Joint Arthritis Debridement
ACL / PCL & Meniscus Care
- ACL Reconstruction: Autografts or allografts mapped accurately for anatomical joint stability.
- PCL Reconstruction: Restoring posterior tibial translation control.
- Meniscus Repairs: Suture repair or partial resection to preserve natural shock-absorbing cushion.
- Accelerated Rehab: Specialized protocols to return back to active sports safely.
Advantages of Arthroscopic Surgery
Why modern keyhole procedures are preferred over traditional open orthopedic surgeries.
High Accuracy
The high-definition camera feed provides magnification, enabling extreme diagnostic and surgical precision.
Reduced Joint Pain
Minimizing trauma to adjacent muscles and ligaments leads to significantly less post-operative soreness.
Minimal Scarring
Small keyhole portals leave only tiny dot-like marks instead of long unsightly open surgery scars.
Tailored Procedures
Surgeons customize ligament mapping and tissue adjustments based on real-time inside-joint inspections.
Enhanced Implant Fit
Precision visualization assists in correct mechanical component alignments, lowering wear-and-tear.
Accelerated Recovery
Patients can generally start knee movements and physical therapy much sooner than with open surgery.
