Arthroscopy (knee, shoulder, ankle)

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique that allows the inside of a joint to be explored and treated using a small camera (arthroscope) and miniaturized instruments introduced through short incisions. It is mainly used for the knee, shoulder and ankle. This approach makes it possible to treat many lesions: meniscal tears, cartilage lesions, intra-articular loose bodies, tendinopathies and shoulder impingement, ankle instability. The absence of a large opening reduces post-operative pain, scarring and recovery time. The procedure is most often performed on an outpatient basis or during a short hospital stay: the patient goes home the same day or the next day, with precise instructions and a rehabilitation program adapted to the treated lesion. At Clinique Pasteur Tunis, arthroscopies are performed with high-definition imaging equipment, by orthopedic surgeons highly experienced in minimally invasive techniques, within a smooth care pathway from consultation to rehabilitation.
