Knee Arthroscopy in Ahmedabad
Expert keyhole knee surgery by Dr Hardik Shah — ACL reconstruction, meniscus repair, and cartilage treatment with faster recovery and smaller scars.
KEYHOLE SURGERY
What is Knee Arthroscopy?
Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure where Dr Hardik Shah uses a miniature camera (arthroscope) inserted through small keyhole incisions to diagnose and treat problems inside the knee joint. Unlike open surgery, arthroscopy causes minimal tissue damage, allowing most patients to return home the same day.It’s the gold standard for treating sports injuries, ligament tears, cartilage damage, and meniscus problems. At DHS Multispecialty Hospital, Dr Shah performs hundreds of arthroscopic procedures each year using the latest HD visualisation and precision instruments.
