Knee Surgery in Guadalajara
Knee arthroscopic surgery
Arthroscopic surgery is a less invasive procedure and the recovery period is shorter.
With arthroscopy, a camera about the size of a pencil is inserted into the knee. By “seeing” the inside of the knee through an image on the video monitor, the surgeon inserts tiny instruments to repair or remove any damaged tissue.
Some 4 million patients undergo arthroscopic knee surgery each year, and the vast majority say the surgery resolves their pain.
- Less Invasive
- Quick recovery
- Less visible scar
Reconstruction of the ligament of the Knee
There is another type of treatment for damaged knees, called ligament reconstruction.
Ligaments are like rubber bands that surround the knee and give us flexibility while limiting dangerous movements. If the ligaments are torn (which happens in sports), there will be pain when the patient tries to turn, twist, or twist their leg.
- More Invasive
- Moderate Recovery
- Moderate scar
Our Methods
Arthroscopic knee
This is surgery in which a small camera is used to look inside the knee. Small cuts are made to insert the camera and tiny surgical instruments into the knee to perform the procedure.
DescriptionThree different types of pain relief (anesthesia) may be used for arthroscopic knee surgery:
- Local anesthesia. The knee can be numbed with numbing medications. You may also be given medicines that relax you. You will stay awake.
- Spinal Anesthesia. Also called regional anesthesia. It is injected into a space in the spine. You will be awake, but you will not be able to feel anything below the waist.
- General anesthesia. You will be asleep and feel no pain.
- Regional nerve block (adductor or femoral canal block). This is another type of regional anesthesia. The anesthetic is injected around the nerve in the groin. You will be asleep during the operation. This type of anesthesia will block pain, so less general anesthesia is needed.
A cuff-like device may be placed around the thigh to help control bleeding during the procedure.
Our specialist will make 2 or 3 small incisions around the knee. Salt water (saline solution) will be pumped into it to inflate it.
A narrow tube with a small camera on the end will be inserted through one of the incisions. The camera is attached to a video monitor that allows the surgeon to see inside the knee.
Our specialist may place other small surgical instruments into the knee through the other incisions. He or she will then repair or remove the problem in your knee.
At the end of the surgery, the saline solution will be drained from the knee. Our specialist surgeon will close the incisions with sutures (stitches) and cover them with a dressing.
