What Is Arthroscopic Knee Surgery?
Arthroscopic knee surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat knee joint problems. At Southwest Hip and Knee, this procedure involves inserting a small camera called an arthroscope into the knee joint through small incisions. This allows our Tempe, AZ surgeon to examine the inside of the knee and perform any needed repairs. Arthroscopic knee surgery typically results in less pain, faster recovery times, and smaller scars compared to traditional surgical options. To find out if arthroscopic knee surgery is right for you, call our practice and schedule an appointment.
How Is Arthroscopic Knee Surgery Performed?
Before performing this procedure, you will have a consultation with our surgeon to determine if you are an ideal candidate. A thorough physical examination will be conducted, as well as a review of personal and family medical history. During arthroscopic knee surgery, a small camera is inserted into the knee joint through tiny incisions. This camera allows your Southwest Hip and Knee surgeon to see inside the knee without making large cuts. With the help of specialized instruments, they can then address various knee issues, such as repairing torn ligaments or removing damaged tissue. This minimally invasive approach allows patients to experience improved mobility and a quicker return to their daily activities.
What Are the Benefits of Arthroscopic Knee Surgery?
Arthroscopic knee surgery offers individuals across Arizona several advantages over traditional open surgery methods. By utilizing an arthroscope, our surgeon can access the knee joint without disturbing the surrounding tissue. A few of the primary benefits patients can glean from this minimally invasive surgery include:
- Quicker recovery periods
- Minimized scarring
- Reduced pain after the procedure
- Lower risk of complications
- Improved range of motion
- Enhanced joint function
Southwest Hip and Knee Reviews
Anytime I need a service I always read the reviews. This review is how I am so happy I found Dr Randall. I have always been very active...in work and riding horses. It finally came down to the day I knew I couldn't ride anymore. I was in tears of pain just trying to get on my horse and was only able to stay on for about 5 mins. I figured that was my last ride. But then Dr Randall replaced my hip in February. I have since been very active working and I have been able to ride my horse again. We can gallop with ease. I feel so good it is hard to think of the time I couldn't hardly walk up a tiny tiny hill. She is the best. I researched her before i ever made an appointment. I have a lot of friends that have had knees and hips done. So I would ask them. Who did your surgery?...Dr Randall's name came up 95 percent of the time. Then I would ask : were you pleased with it and how are you doing now? A positive answer every single time. I highly recommend her. Her assistant Derek is very helpful and informative. Glad I had them both.
I broke my left knee patella after a freak slip and fall. Dr. Randall was able to see me within a week and performed a reconstruction on it soon after. My consultation with her and her team was stellar, answered all my questions. The surgery was amazing an here it is almost two years later and I am so pleased. Thank you Dr. Randall!
Dr Randall, her team, staff, and the Tempe Hospital, treated me with the upmost compassion. I will highly recommend everyone listed. I never felt rushed, never uncomfortable, and always welcomed. Dr. Randall took her time as well as her team. The hospital staff at the time of pre-screening were fun and helped me relax in order to prepare for surgery. I wish I could name every individual, but I didn't. I was nervous and didn't write names down. once I made it to recovery, a gentleman, maybe his name is Lucas? He stayed with me and cared for me, explained everything in detail, and I walked out pain-free! He was so kind. I traveled from the east coast just to have this team put me together again. Thank you isn't enough, but it's all I can say. Thank you for making me a hippie! Book an appointment right now so you can start a new journey!
Dr Amber Randall completed my hip replacement in January. I could walk on it immediately and could sleep on it within three weeks. At six weeks I carefully went hiking and had no pain and no problems. My entire lower body feels better than it has in years! Her technique is amazing. I know other people that have had nothing but problems. She does a wonderful job!
I feel listened to and my concerns are addressed. Quality of care is A+.
