Knee Arthroscopy by Dr. Sushil Singh

Welcome to Dr. Sushil Singh’s Knee Arthroscopy Service

Knee arthroscopy is a modern, minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat various knee conditions. As a highly skilled orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Sushil Singh offers advanced knee arthroscopy techniques that lead to faster recovery, minimal scarring, and improved long-term outcomes.

What is Knee Arthroscopy?

Knee arthroscopy is a surgical procedure where a small camera, called an arthroscope, is inserted into the knee joint through a small incision. The arthroscope helps the surgeon view the inside of the knee joint, allowing for accurate diagnosis and treatment of various knee problems.

This technique is often preferred over traditional open surgery because it requires smaller incisions, reduces recovery time, and minimizes the risk of complications.
