Because arthroscopic surgery is minimally invasive and involves only small incisions to view and repair a damaged joint, patients benefit from the fact that this procedure spares surrounding muscle and typically has a shorter recovery time than traditional open surgery.
Dr. Gray performs arthroscopic surgery on the following joints:
- Wrists, to treat ligament tears, triangular fibrocartilage complex (TFCC) tears, and recurring or chronic wrist pain
- Elbows, to remove loose fragments (cartilage or bone) in the joint and treat elbow stiffness
- Shoulders, to treat rotator cuff tears, shoulder instability (shoulders that easily become dislocated), impingement syndrome, and arthritis and bone spurs that cause joint pain
- Knees, to remove inflamed or loose tissue, repair a torn meniscus, reconstruct a torn ACL, and realign a kneecap
- Ankles, to treat arthritis and bone spurs that cause joint pain as well as loose cartilage, bone, or other tissue
If you have arthritis, carpal tunnel syndrome, a ligament or tendon injury, or any other condition that is causing joint pain in these areas, you may benefit from consulting with an orthopedic surgeon.
Dr. Gray takes a personal approach to patient care, helping his patients find the treatment options that best suit their needs, whether it involves arthroscopic surgery, total joint replacement, or another form of treatment.
