One of the best procedures for arthritis is arthroscopic surgery in Charleston, SC. When you have severe arthritis that requires arthritis surgery in Charleston, you need to find a team of surgeons you can trust. Our expert surgeons, skilled in arthroscopic surgery, will develop a treatment plan at a South Carolina Sports Medicine facility that meets your needs.
Arthroscopic surgery is a procedure that can surgically treat the different forms of arthritis using advanced surgical techniques. This minimally invasive surgical procedure uses an endoscope inserted into a tiny incision to treat the affected area.
Some of the most common symptoms of arthritis include swollen joints, a warmth that radiates from the affected joint, and stiffness that affects the shoulders, hips, knees, or hands. Other symptoms include joint pain that interferes with daily life and chronic inflammation.
We offer arthroscopic surgery and can use MAKO Robotic Arm-Assisted Technology during our surgical procedures when patients require hip or knee replacement. This advanced form of surgery allows greater precision during the procedure and a better outcome. Before the procedure, your physician will evaluate your symptoms and physically examine the affected area.
Then, if you are a candidate for surgical arthritis treatment, the physician will perform a CT scan to understand better the area affected by arthritis and your anatomy. Once the CT scan is complete, a technician will upload it into the MAKO system. The advanced software will then create a 3-D model of the affected area so the surgeons can better understand how arthritis has affected your joints and accurately perform the surgical procedure.
Patients who require a surgical option to alleviate the pain and deterioration associated with arthritis may be good candidates who find relief from this procedure. Patients who haven’t found relief from other non-invasive treatments may benefit from arthroscopic surgery.
