About Patellar Arthroscopy Ankle

Patellar arthroscopy of the ankle is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed by orthopedic surgeons to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the patellar tendon and its surrounding structures where it inserts near the ankle. This is a specialized procedure, often addressing issues like patellar tendinopathy (jumper's knee) that has extended to its distal attachment or other pathologies at the tendon's insertion point. Using a small camera called an arthroscope inserted through tiny incisions, the surgeon can visualize the area, remove inflamed tissue, repair partial tears, or perform other necessary interventions with high precision. This approach typically results in less pain, minimal scarring, and a faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery, helping patients return to their daily activities and sports.

Key Highlights

PATIENT REVIEW

Had my gallbladder out at MGM....

Had my gallbladder out at MGM. Dr. Vinod was really clear about what to expect after. The first couple days were rough, I won't lie, but his team had a good plan for the pain that actually worked. Follow-up was simple, he just told me to take it easy and call if anything felt off. Felt normal again quicker than I thought.
