Arthroscopic Surgery

What is Arthroscopic Surgery?

Arthroscopic surgery is a simple, yet advanced, surgical procedure typically resulting in less down time for the patient.  Our orthopaedic surgeon makes a small incision and inserts a narrow tube with a camera attached to the tube, allowing him to see, diagnose and treat the problem inside the joint.

Performance Orthopaedics Performs Arthroscopic Surgery

The orthopaedic surgeons at Performance Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine are leaders in arthroscopic surgery.  They have successfully performed many of these surgeries on a variety of conditions.

Conditions that Might Benefit from Arthroscopic Surgery

Arthroscopic surgery can be beneficial for injuries in the joint, as well as a variety of non-inflammatory and inflammatory types of arthritis.  Injured areas may include include:
  • Knee Injuries
  • Shoulder Injuries
  • Elbow Injuries
  • Ankle Injuries
  • Hip Injuries

Issues that can be Corrected with Arthroscopic Surgery

Because arthroscopy uses small incisions and a camera attached to a tube-like instrument, minimal surgery can be performed inside the joint.  Common joint-related issues can be corrected with arthroscopic surgery.  These can include:
  • Torn Cartilage
  • Torn Ligaments
  • Loose Bone Fragments
  • Scarring in the Joint
  • Inflamed Lining of the Joint

Recovery

Most arthroscopic surgeries are performed in an outpatient facility allowing the patient to return home quicker.  Benefits include:

  • Quicker
    Recovery Time
  • Less
    Tissue Trauma

Wonderful Client Feedback

Great staff!  Love this place, would highly recommend. Had no issues after knee surgery!!

-Rod

Dr. Maurer’s honest approach to discussing options and talking TO me, not AT me, is a great comfort when making these big decisions.

-Lyle

Dr. Diehl was very kind and caring. I don’t think there is a person in this office who is not professional and personable. They go above and beyond for their patients.

-Patricia

Very impressed with Dr. Lessner. Very thorough and listened to me. He gave me multiple treatment options and involved me in the decision making. Highly recommend!

-Todd

I’ve recuperated very well with physical therapy after having both knees replaced here. I’m on my way to walking normally again and without pain. They take time to listen and explain everything completely.

-April

This has been one of the best medical care experiences I’ve had, from our initial consultation to post-op visits to physical therapy. Dr. Diehl and his team are a very caring, friendly, and professional group. I had a left knee injury (meniscus and ACL tears). Thank you!!
