Knee and shoulder arthroscopy are among the most commonly performed arthroscopic procedures for individuals experiencing persistent joint pain and instability. Delaying necessary arthroscopic surgery can lead to worsening joint damage, chronic inflammation, and an increased risk of long-term mobility issues. Indications for surgery include persistent pain, swelling, restricted movement, and mechanical joint problems like locking or catching.
In knee arthroscopy, delaying surgery can result in progressive cartilage damage, worsening ligament injuries, and an increased risk of osteoarthritis. For shoulder arthroscopy, untreated conditions like rotator cuff tears or labral injuries may lead to chronic instability, muscle weakness, and reduced range of motion. Physiotherapy is essential before and after arthroscopic procedures to strengthen surrounding muscles, improve joint stability, and accelerate recovery. Pre-surgery physiotherapy helps optimize joint movement and muscle function, while post-surgery rehabilitation aids in restoring strength, flexibility, and overall joint performance.
Timely arthroscopic interventions, combined with structured physiotherapy, can significantly improve joint health, prevent complications, and enhance the quality of life for individuals with sports injuries, degenerative conditions, or mechanical joint issues.
