Details of Arthrolysis

This is an open surgical procedure to treat the conditions which cause stiffness and which have led to reduction of range of motion in the affected area.

May include:

• Osteoarthritis
• Fractures
• Injuries

May include:

• Physical examination 
• Imaging tests

During this procedure, Surgeon makes some incisions on the site of a joint to release of all soft tissues that interfere with full range of motion in the area. These following conditions can be treated with this like:

1. Loose bone fragments
2. Damaged or torn cartilage
3. Inflamed joint linings 
4. Torn ligaments
5. Scarring within joints

But now when arthroscopy is considered more advanced, there is no need to resort to Arthrolysis.
