Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy is available through Sports Medicine North at a published cash price, paid when you book.

Hand arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that utilizes a small camera, known as an arthroscope, to visualize and treat various conditions within the joints of the hand. This advanced technique allows surgeons to diagnose and address issues such as arthritis, ligament tears, or cartilage damage without the need for large incisions. During hand arthroscopy, the arthroscope is inserted through small incisions, and specialized instruments may be used for surgical interventions. Commonly performed procedures include synovectomy, ligament repairs, and removal of loose bodies. Hand arthroscopy offers advantages such as reduced postoperative pain, faster recovery times, and a more detailed assessment of the joint structures. This technique is particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing persistent hand pain or limited function.
