Introduction
Joint pain can be debilitating, affecting daily activities and overall quality of life. Whether caused by sports injuries, aging, or underlying conditions such as arthritis, finding an effective treatment is crucial. Arthroscopic Surgery by Dr. Pereddy offers a cutting-edge, minimally invasive solution to diagnose and treat joint-related issues with precision. This revolutionary technique has transformed the field of orthopedics, providing patients with quicker recovery times and reduced complications compared to traditional surgical methods.
Understanding Arthroscopic Surgery
Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to examine, diagnose, and treat problems inside a joint. The technique involves making small incisions through which a specialized instrument, called an arthroscope, is inserted. The arthroscope is a thin, flexible tube equipped with a camera and light source, allowing surgeons to visualize the joint on a monitor and perform necessary repairs with precision.
This procedure can be performed on various joints, including the knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, elbow, and wrist. The ability to conduct detailed inspections and perform corrective measures with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues makes arthroscopy an excellent choice for patients experiencing chronic joint pain or mobility issues.

The Arthroscopic Surgery Procedure
The arthroscopic surgery procedure typically follows these steps:
1. Pre-Surgical Assessment
Before undergoing arthroscopic surgery by Dr. Pereddy, patients receive a thorough evaluation, including imaging tests such as X-rays or MRIs. This helps determine the extent of joint damage and the best approach for treatment.
2. Anesthesia Administration
Depending on the complexity of the surgery and patient preferences, anesthesia options include general, regional, or local anesthesia to ensure a painless procedure.
3. Making Small Incisions
Dr. Pereddy makes small incisions (usually less than half an inch) around the affected joint to insert the arthroscope and specialized surgical instruments.
4. Joint Examination and Repair
The arthroscope transmits real-time images to a monitor, allowing Dr. Pereddy to examine the joint’s condition and perform necessary repairs, such as removing damaged tissue, repairing ligaments, or smoothing cartilage.
5. Closure and Recovery
After completing the procedure, the small incisions are closed with sutures or adhesive strips. Since arthroscopic surgery is minimally invasive, most patients can return home on the same day.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
Recovery from arthroscopy varies depending on the joint involved and the extent of the procedure. However, the general recovery process includes:
1. Post-Surgery Care
- Patients may experience mild swelling and discomfort, which can be managed with pain relievers and ice packs.
- Keeping the surgical area clean and following prescribed medications helps prevent infection.
2. Physical Therapy
- Customized rehabilitation exercises are essential for restoring joint strength and mobility.
- Gradual return to daily activities and sports is encouraged based on progress.
3. Follow-Up Appointments
- Regular check-ups with Dr. Pereddy ensure proper healing and monitor any complications.
- Adjustments to rehabilitation programs may be made based on individual recovery rates.

- Smaller Incisions: Minimally invasive technique reduces tissue damage.
- Less Pain: Reduced post-operative discomfort compared to open surgery.
