It seems there may be a typo or a misunderstanding in your request. I believe you’re referring to “arthroscopic surgery” rather than “orthoscopic surgery.” Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that is commonly used to diagnose and treat various joint-related conditions, such as injuries or damage to the knee, shoulder, wrist, or other joints. Here’s an overview of arthroscopic surgery:

    1.    Preparation: Before the surgery, the patient undergoes a thorough evaluation, which may include physical examinations and imaging studies like X-rays or MRI scans to assess the joint’s condition.
    2.    Anesthesia: Arthroscopic surgery is typically performed under regional or local anesthesia, which numbs the surgical area, or sometimes under general anesthesia, which renders the patient unconscious during the procedure.
    3.    Incisions: Small incisions, usually no more than a few millimeters in size, are made near the affected joint. These incisions are called portals.
    4.    Arthroscope Insertion: An arthroscope, which is a thin, flexible tube with a light and camera on the end, is inserted through one of the portals. This allows the surgeon to see the inside of the joint on a monitor in real time.
    5.    Treatment or Diagnosis: Depending on the purpose of the surgery, the surgeon may use specialized surgical instruments through the other portals to repair damaged tissues, remove loose fragments, or perform other necessary procedures. In some cases, arthroscopy is primarily diagnostic, and no significant treatment is required.
    6.    Closure: After the procedure is completed, the portals are closed with sutures or adhesive strips. A sterile dressing is applied to cover the incisions.
    7.    Recovery: Recovery time varies depending on the type and extent of the procedure. Arthroscopic surgery is typically associated with shorter recovery periods and less postoperative pain compared to traditional open surgery. Physical therapy and rehabilitation may be recommended to aid in the recovery process and regain joint function.

Arthroscopic surgery is commonly used for conditions like torn ligaments, meniscus tears, rotator cuff injuries, and cartilage damage, among others. It offers the advantages of smaller incisions, reduced scarring, less pain, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery. However, as with any surgical procedure, there are potential risks and complications that should be discussed with the healthcare provider before undergoing arthroscopic surgery.
