No one wants to have to stay in pain for any longer than they have to. When you are in pain from a joint injury, the last thing you should have to worry about is how are you going to be able to afford it. You also want to be able to get back to your normal routine as soon as possible. What you need is an orthopedic surgeon who specializes in arthroscopic surgery.

Introducing: Dr. Howard Marans – Orthopedic+

Cost-Effective Arthroscopic Surgery

Unlike traditional surgery that requires large incisions, arthroscopic surgery only requires your orthopedic surgeon to make incisions no longer than one inch to repair your injury. A small camera is inserted via a tube into one of the incisions. The camera allows the surgeon to see the injured area on a monitor without having to make a large incision to expose the area. The surgeon then makes the needed repair by manipulating special instruments through the additional incisions.

Most arthroscopic surgeries are performed on an outpatient basis and do not require an overnight stay in the hospital. This helps keeps the cost of surgery lower than traditional surgery.

Additional benefits include:

• No stitches or staples to close incisions
• Smaller scars
• Reduced risk of infection or bleeding
• Shorter recovery time

Injuries or Conditions Repaired with Arthroscopic Surgery

Arthroscopic surgery can be used to repair damage from injuries or orthopedic conditions to various larger joints throughout your body.

• Shoulder – Rotator cuff tears, recurrent dislocations and impingement syndrome
• Wrist – Fractures, torn ligaments and carpal tunnel syndrome
• Spine – Damage from osteoarthritis, bone spurs, bulging discs and herniated discs
• Hip – Dysplasia, synovitis, femoroacetabular impingement and loose bodies
• Knee – Torn ligaments, cartilage damage and meniscal tears

Keep in mind that not everyone is a candidate for arthroscopic surgery. For more extensive injuries, or if a total joint replacement is needed, open surgery is required.
