| | Arthroscopy |
 | | Although arthroscopic surgery has received a lot of public attention because it is used to treat well-known athletes, it is an extremely valuable tool for all orthopaedic patients and is generally easier on the patient than "open" surgery. | | | Most patients have their arthroscopic surgery as outpatients and are home several hours after the surgery. | | | Arthroscopic surgery, although much easier in terms of recovery than "open" surgery, still requires the use of anesthetics and the special equipment in a hospital operating room or outpatient surgical suite. |

| | KNEE ARTHROSCOPY |
| | While an arthroscope is used in many different types of surgical procedures, the recovery time and outcome of the procedure is related to the type of injury and the type of arthroscopic surgical procedure performed. | | | Arthroscopic surgical procedures are often performed on an outpatient basis and the patient is able to return home on the same day. | | | Usually the surgery is viewed on a moniter so that the whole operating team is aware of the type of surgical procedure that is being performed. |

| | The surgery group received standard arthroscopic treatment for their problem and the placebo group was subjected to skin incisions and did not actually have arthroscopic treatment. | | | There are very few arthroscopic surgeons who would see a patient in the office with what we usually refer to as advanced arthritis and tell that person that they should have an arthroscopic procedure to try to improve their condition. | | | As a practicing orthopaedic surgeon with considerable experience in the field of arthroscopic surgery I feel compelled to comment from a personal standpoint on the bomb shell, which has exploded on the orthopaedic horizon recently regarding the use of arthroscopic surgery in knees affected by osteoarthritis. |

| | FAQ - Arthroscopic Surgery |
| | Arthroscopic surgery is a modern method of performing surgery inside the joint through very small incisions. | | | Arthroscopic surgery can be done to help the problem of dislocating shoulders. | | | Because arthroscopic surgery is done through very small incisions, a light general anesthetic can be used, usually patients go home the same day, discomfort is minimized, the rate of complications is much lower, and recovery is much faster. |

| | A surgeon who is skilled in arthroscopic surgery can best make the determination of whether the patient is best-suited to an arthroscopic or open surgical procedure. | | | However, arthroscopic surgery does not change the biology of the healing process. | | | Although the pain may be less, restrictions on activity may not be different just because someone has had arthroscopic surgery as opposed to traditional open surgery. |

| | Arthroscopic surgery of the shoulder is used for shoulder reconstruction, rotator cuff repair, dislocations and decompression for shoulder tendonitis or bursitis. | | | Because the incisions are so small, there is less scar tissue, less pain after surgery, and patients usually recover faster than with traditional open surgical interventions," explains Anand M. Murthi, M.D., assistant professor of orthopaedics at the University of Maryland School of Medicine and surgical specialist of the shoulder and elbow. | | | At Kernan, surgeons with extensive training, experience and knowledge perform advanced arthroscopic surgery of the shoulder. |
