Treatments, operations and tests

Arthroscopy is one of the most frequently used investigations for the diagnosis and treatment of knee injuries. It is a minor surgical procedure that is done as an outpatient. An arthroscope is a small, soft tube with a light and lenses on the tip. The surgeon inserts the arthroscope into your knee through a small incision. This allows the surgeon to see the entire knee joint and facilitates the repair of some knee injuries. Arthroscopy is normally done as a day case procedure.
This is a condition that has been recognised and understood only relatively recently. Hip impingement is normally caused by too much contact between abnormally shaped parts of the head of the thigh bone and the hip socket. This results in restricted hip movement and pain. The aim of femoro–acetabular arthroscopic surgery is to improve range of movement and to reduce pain. It is intended to prevent hip arthritis in the future and therefore avoid a total hip replacement.
Hip replacement surgery, or arthroplasty, is usually undertaken when osteoarthritis has resulted in the wearing down of the hip joint. In a hip replacement operation the worn out and arthritic parts of the hip joint are removed and replaced with a new, artificial hip joint. The new hip joint is called a prosthesis. Total hip replacement surgery should improve an individual's mobility, by reducing pain and improving the function of the hip joint. The procedure can also be performed via keyhole (minimally invasive) surgery in the right circumstances.
A hip replacement tends to last between 10 to 20 years. After that time, it is often the case that a further procedure is required to have it replaced. This is known as a hip revision.
