Knee Surgery In Guntur

Knee arthroscopy in Guntur is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat problems within the knee joint. Given that the knee is a highly active and stressed joint involved in everyday activities and sports, it is prone to wear, tear, injuries, or inherited and acquired conditions that can cause pain, instability, and swelling. Arthroscopy, or keyhole surgery, offers a less invasive alternative to traditional open surgery, with incisions roughly the size of a keyhole. Dr. Siva Kumar Mamillapalli, an orthopedic specialist in Guntur, performs this procedure by inserting a small camera called an arthroscope into the knee to visualize the internal structures. This device not only helps identify the root cause of knee issues but can also be used as a surgical tool to fix minor problems inside the joint.
