(prHWY.com) February 14, 2013 - Denver, CO -- Denver, Colorado (January 25, 2013) - Steadman Hawkins Clinics, a highly regarded orthopedic and sports medicine center with locations in Greenwood Village and Lone Tree, Colorado, is offering arthroscopic surgery to patients suffering from various joint injuries and related disorders. Residents looking for a trusted
Denver orthopedic surgeon are encouraged to consult with any of the healthcare providers at the clinic.
Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure carried out by a certified orthopedic surgeon to get a full view and diagnose the injury in a patient's joint structure before creating a treatment plan. The term arthroscopy came from two Greek words "arthro" which means joint and "skopein" which means to look, thus, it literally means to look into the joint.
Arthroscopic surgery was initially used as a diagnostic tool in preparation for standard open surgery. However, with the evolution of surgical techniques, many conditions can now be treated arthroscopically. These include carpal tunnel syndrome, rotator cuff tendon tears and dislocations, knee cartilage tears, anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) tears, chondromalacia (cartilage cushion injury), shoulder impingement, and loose bones and/or tissues in the knee, shoulder, elbow, ankle, or wrist, among others.
Practitioners also recommend arthroscopy for its share of advantages such as smaller incisions, less scarring, as well as faster healing and recovery. It can also be complemented with additional tests such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or computed tomography (CT) scan for higher precision diagnostics.
The Steadman Hawkins Clinics pride itself in having some of the most respected names in the field of sports medicine and orthopedic surgery in Colorado. They are highly trained and equipped to use avant-garde instruments and techniques in diagnosing and treating orthopedic and sports related injuries.
