Arthroscopic surgery allows the orthopaedic surgeon to examine and treat problems inside a joint through small incisions, using a high-definition camera and precision instruments, without the soft tissue disruption of open surgery. At Apex, arthroscopy is used both diagnostically and therapeutically across the knee and shoulder, and the sports medicine service manages the broader spectrum of activity-related musculoskeletal injuries in both competitive athletes and recreational patients. The decision between surgical and non-surgical management is guided by the injury pattern, functional limitation and the patient's activity demands not every tear requires an operation.
Recovery follows a structured, phase-based rehabilitation programme advancing through movement restoration, strength rebuilding and functional training. Risks include graft failure, re-tear, infection, joint stiffness and blood clots discussed individually before each procedure.
