Arthroscopy
Keyhole arthroscopic surgery for accurate diagnosis and treatment of joint problems in the knee, shoulder, ankle and hip with minimal scarring and faster recovery.
About Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a tiny camera inserted through small incisions to visualise and treat problems inside joints. It eliminates the need for large open incisions, resulting in less pain, shorter hospital stay and faster recovery.
At S4 Hospital, arthroscopy is used for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes across the knee, shoulder, ankle, and hip joints.
