Arthroscopic Surgery in San Antonio
Arthroscopy (ahr-THROS-kuh-pee) is a procedure for diagnosing and treating joint problems. One of our surgeons at San Antonio Orthopaedic Specialists inserts a narrow tube attached to a fiber-optic video camera called an arthroscope through a small incision. The surgeon can then view the inside of the joint, see what exactly is causing your pain, and make minor repairs.
This patient-centered approach underscores the importance of arthroscopy as a preferred choice for joint care. By minimizing tissue trauma, arthroscopy not only expedites the recovery process but also significantly reduces postoperative discomfort, enhancing the overall patient experience. With precision in diagnosing and treating joint problems, we ensure that you are receiving customized treatment that meets your specific needs in order to achieve the best outcome.
Dr. Broome, Dr. Harris, and Dr. Marx perform arthroscopic procedures here locally at the South Texas Spine and Surgical Hospital Outpatient Center.
