Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure.

It is a keyhole surgery of the joint through very small incisions 4 millimetre telescope is introduced into the joint. And using precision instruments many procedures can be carried out. Arthroscopy has revolutionised the joint surgery and it’s a boon to treat many joint problems.

The arthroscopy and sports medicine service of SIMS-AJRI provides keyhole and minimally invasive solutions for complex problems of knee, shoulder and other joints. Of Particular interest is the field of joint preservation surgery which tries to save the life of the joints and postpone the knee

replacement surgery.
