Advanced Arthroscopic Surgery at Spire Clinic
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat problems inside a joint. Instead of making large incisions, the surgeon inserts a thin instrument called an arthroscope, equipped with a tiny camera and light, through a small keyhole incision. This allows for a clear view of the joint’s internal structures on a screen and enables precise surgical intervention.
At Spire Clinic, our orthopaedic specialists perform arthroscopic procedures for joints like the knee, shoulder, ankle, hip and wrist using advanced equipment that ensures less pain, smaller scars and faster recovery.
