Minimally Invasive Joint Care · Durva Hospital
Smaller incisions. Precise treatment. A modern approach to joint care.
Joint injuries can affect much more than movement. Persistent knee pain, shoulder instability, ligament tears or cartilage damage can interfere with work, sports, exercise and everyday activities.
At Durva Hospital, arthroscopy is used, when clinically appropriate, as a minimally invasive approach to diagnose and treat selected joint conditions. Under the care of Dr. Hitesh Mangal, treatment is planned around the specific injury, joint condition, activity level and recovery goals of each patient.
Arthroscopy, commonly known as keyhole surgery, is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to examine and treat problems inside a joint.
During the procedure, a small camera called an arthroscope is introduced into the joint through a small incision. It allows the surgeon to view internal structures such as ligaments, cartilage, meniscus and tendons in detail. Specialised instruments can then be used through additional small incisions when treatment is required.
Compared with traditional open approaches, arthroscopy can limit disruption to surrounding tissues in appropriately selected cases. The suitability and expected benefits depend on the patient’s individual condition.
Knee, Shoulder & Sports Injuries
Treatment is selected after evaluating the cause of symptoms, extent of damage and each patient’s functional requirements.
The knee is particularly vulnerable to injuries during sports, exercise, accidents and sudden twisting movements.
Depending on the diagnosis, procedures can include ligament reconstruction, meniscus repair or treatment of damaged structures, while preserving healthy joint tissue wherever possible.
Shoulder problems can cause pain, weakness, restricted movement or repeated episodes of instability.
Treatment is determined after evaluating the cause of symptoms, extent of damage and the patient’s functional requirements.
Sports Injuries & Arthroscopy
Sports injuries are not limited to professional athletes. They can affect runners, gym-goers, recreational players and anyone with an active lifestyle.
ACL tears, meniscus injuries, shoulder instability and other joint injuries can significantly affect performance and everyday movement.
At Durva Hospital, the focus begins with an accurate diagnosis. Depending on the injury, treatment may involve rehabilitation and other non-surgical approaches, or arthroscopic surgery when clinically indicated.
When to seek advice
These symptoms can have several causes, so clinical assessment is important before deciding on treatment.
Your Clinical Pathway
Every recommendation begins with a detailed evaluation.
Diagnosis & Treatment Planning
Before recommending arthroscopy, Dr. Hitesh Mangal may evaluate the patient’s symptoms, medical history, joint movement, stability and functional limitations.
X-rays, MRI or other investigations may be advised where clinically appropriate.
Based on these findings, the patient can be guided through the available treatment options, potential role of surgery and expected rehabilitation process.
Rehabilitation is an important part of recovery following many arthroscopic procedures.
Depending on the injury and procedure performed, rehabilitation may focus on gradually restoring joint movement, muscle strength, balance, stability and functional activity.
For sports-related injuries, return to sport should be guided by recovery progress and clinical assessment rather than a fixed timeline alone.
Recovery varies between patients and procedures, so an individual rehabilitation plan is important.
