Arthroscopy
With arthroscopy, a small tube containing optical fibers and lenses is inserted in the skin and into the joint to be examined via the arthroscope. A small video camera is attached to the arthroscope so that the interior of the joint can be projected onto a television monitor. By utilizing an arthroscope rather than traditional surgical techniques, there will be less tissue trauma and less pain and it will also result in a quicker recovery. This procedure is especially helpful in the diagnosis and treatment of countless non-inflammatory, inflammatory and infections types of arthritis in addition to a variety of joint injuries. Arthroscopy is also used in the evaluation of joints injuries, strains and tears. However, it can also be used to examine and treat knees, hips, wrists, ankles, feet, spine and elbows.

Arthroscopy
The physicians and entire healthcare staff and other professionals at Hinsdale Orthopaedics have been diligently serving patients throughout the Greater Chicago Metropolitan Area with the finest procedures including nonsurgical treatment option such as arthroscopy. Arthroscopy is recognized as a minimally invasive surgical technique that is used both for diagnosis and treatment of joint abnormalities. Most often, arthroscopy is performed on an outpatient basis. Furthermore, prior to using arthroscopy, physicians usually use general, spinal, regional or local anesthetic. It was first popularized in the 1960s, but is a common procedure throughout the world, today. Patients can usually expect to return home the same day the procedure has been performed and is completed. It is no wonder that whenever Chicago residents require state-of-the-art arthroscopy, the only name they need to know is Hinsdale Orthopaedics.
Hip Replacement
Hinsdale Orthopaedics is widely recognized as the leading provider of orthopaedic care for persons living throughout the Greater Chicago Metropolitan Area. For over 60 years, we have been delivering state-of-the-art care to patients in the region. Hinsdale Orthopaedics believes that when possible, surgery should be the last resort, and hip replacement surgery is no exception. Traditional hip replacement surgery involves making an incision on the side of the hip (lateral) or the back of the hip (posterior). These techniques involve detachment of muscles and tendons in order to replace the joint. This may lead to increased pain after surgery and may even delay recovery time. As a minimally invasive procedure, direct anterior approach hip replacement involves a small incision on the front of the hip so the hip joint can be replaced by moving muscles aside, without detaching any tendons. There is quicker recovery time, less post-surgery pain and more normal function after hip replacement using direct anterior approach hip replacement. It makes perfect sense that whenever Chicago patients are looking for the direct anterior approach hip replacement, the only name they need to know is Hinsdale Orthopaedics.
