What is Arthroscopy?
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive orthopaedic procedure used to diagnose and treat joint problems through very small incisions. A tiny camera called an arthroscope is inserted into the joint, allowing the surgeon to visualise internal structures and treat injuries using specialised instruments.
Arthroscopy is commonly performed for knee injuries, ACL tears, meniscus injuries, shoulder injuries, cartilage damage and sports trauma. Compared to open surgery, it offers smaller cuts, less pain, faster recovery, minimal scarring, reduced hospital stay and early rehabilitation.

Common Sports Injuries Treated by Dr Hatif Siddiqui
Sports injuries are increasingly common among athletes, gym-goers, runners, football players, cricket players, fitness enthusiasts and active working professionals.
Meniscus Tear
Meniscus injuries may occur after sports twisting injuries, sudden squatting or degeneration. Symptoms include knee locking, pain while squatting, swelling and difficulty bending.
Shoulder Sports Injuries
Shoulder injuries are common in cricket, swimming, tennis and gym athletes. Conditions include rotator cuff tears, instability, labral injuries and recurrent dislocation.
Cartilage Injuries
Cartilage damage may occur due to sports trauma, accidents or repetitive stress. Early arthroscopic care can help preserve long-term joint health.
Symptoms That Should Not Be Ignored
- Knee instability
- Sudden knee swelling
- Popping sensation after injury
- Difficulty running
- Shoulder instability
- Recurrent dislocations
- Pain during sports activity
- Difficulty squatting
- Joint locking
- Reduced range of motion
- Persistent sports-related pain
Early Diagnosis Matters
Sudden swelling, instability, locking, recurrent dislocation or pain during sports activity should be evaluated early. Delayed diagnosis can increase the risk of chronic pain, instability, weakness and long-term joint damage.
Advanced Arthroscopic Procedures Performed
ACL Reconstruction Surgery
ACL reconstruction replaces the torn ligament using graft tissue to restore knee stability, protect meniscus and cartilage and improve confidence while walking or running.
Meniscus Repair Surgery
Meniscus preservation is important for long-term knee health. Arthroscopic repair helps reduce pain, restore movement, preserve shock absorption and reduce arthritis risk.
Shoulder Arthroscopy
Shoulder arthroscopy is used for rotator cuff repair, shoulder instability, labral injuries and frozen shoulder release with smaller scars and faster rehabilitation.
Cartilage Restoration Procedures
Selected cartilage injuries may be treated arthroscopically to preserve joint function and delay arthritis progression.
