Arthroscopy

Experts at Using Minimally Invasive Arthroscopy for a Faster Return to Active Living.

With any injury or condition, we're committed to using the least invasive, most effective approach to get you back to normal activity – with as little pain as possible. Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure we use to diagnose and, many times, treat problems inside a joint.

Experienced and Skilled Experts
Our highly skilled and experienced surgeons are leaders in diagnosing and treating many orthopaedic conditions in the ankle, elbow, hip, knee, shoulder and wrist using arthroscopy. We want to relieve your pain and restore functional movement so you can get back to being active. 

We make a small, buttonhole-sized incision in your skin and then insert pencil-sized instruments that contain a small lens and lighting system to "see" inside the joint without having to make a larger cut. If we identify a problem, we can often use the same incision to insert instruments to take care of it. This means less pain and faster recovery for you. 

Personalized, Comprehensive, Prompt Care
Our physicians take time to listen to your concerns and consider your needs and goals. We may use various diagnostic tools before arthroscopy to determine if arthroscopy is the best treatment approach to take.
