Chicago Arthroscopy

The physicians and entire healthcare staff and other professionals at Hinsdale Orthopaedics have been diligently serving patients throughout the Greater Chicago Metropolitan Area with the finest procedures including nonsurgical treatment option such as arthroscopy. Arthroscopy is recognized as a minimally invasive surgical technique that is used both for diagnosis and treatment of joint abnormalities. Most often, arthroscopy is performed on an outpatient basis. Furthermore, prior to using arthroscopy, physicians usually use general, spinal, regional or local anesthetic. It was first popularized in the 1960s, but is a common procedure throughout the world, today. Patients can usually expect to return home the same day the procedure has been performed and is completed. It is no wonder that whenever Chicago residents require state-of-the-art arthroscopy, the only name they need to know is Hinsdale Orthopaedics.

With arthroscopy, a small tube containing optical fibers and lenses is inserted in the skin and into the joint to be examined via the arthroscope. A small video camera is attached to the arthroscope so that the interior of the joint can be projected onto a television monitor. By utilizing an arthroscope rather than traditional surgical techniques, there will be less tissue trauma and less pain and it will also result in a quicker recovery. This procedure is especially helpful in the diagnosis and treatment of countless non-inflammatory, inflammatory and infections types of arthritis in addition to a variety of joint injuries. Arthroscopy is also used in the evaluation of joints injuries, strains and tears. However, it can also be used to examine and treat knees, hips, wrists, ankles, feet, spine and elbows. It only makes sense to discover that Chicagoland patients understand that not only will Hinsdale Orthopaedics meet their expectations, but they will most likely exceed them.

A new procedure developed to treat the younger members of our society, involves using arthroscopy whereby cells from the patient are harvested and grown in a laboratory and were ultimately re-implanted at a later date with the use of an arthroscope. In conditions such as inflammatory arthritis, Hinsdale Orthopaedics’s physicians use an arthroscope to remove the inflamed joint tissue with the arthroscope, biopsy it and examine it beneath a microscope to determine the cause of the inflammation and to discover infections.
