Frequently Asked Questions
How long does arthroscopic surgery typically take?
The duration of arthroscopic surgery varies depending on the complexity of the procedure being performed. Dr. Chandak will provide an estimated timeframe during your consultation.
Will my child need to stay overnight in the hospital after arthroscopy?
Arthroscopy is often an outpatient procedure, meaning your child can go home the same day after recovery from anesthesia.
What pain management options are available for children after arthroscopy?
Dr. Chandak will prescribe appropriate pain medication based on your child’s needs and age. Pain management strategies like ice therapy and elevation of the affected joint may also be recommended.
What are some potential limitations after arthroscopic surgery on a child's joint?
There may be some initial limitations on weight-bearing or specific movements depending on the procedure. Physical therapy will help regain strength and flexibility, gradually restoring full function to the joint.
How important is physical therapy after arthroscopic surgery for a child?
Physical therapy is crucial for regaining full range of motion, strength, and stability in the joint. Consistent participation in physical therapy exercises significantly improves long-term outcomes.
Are there any exercises I can do with my child at home to support their recovery after arthroscopy?
The physical therapist will provide a home exercise program tailored to your child’s specific needs. These exercises can be done at home in conjunction with regular physical therapy sessions to enhance recovery.
What are some signs of potential complications after arthroscopic surgery?
Increased pain, swelling, redness, fever, or drainage from the incision site are potential signs of infection. Difficulty moving the joint or persistent numbness can also be concerning. Contact Dr. Chandak immediately if you notice any of these signs.
How can I prevent my child from reinjuring the joint after arthroscopic surgery?
Following the doctor’s instructions regarding activity limitations and proper technique during sports or activities is crucial to prevent reinjury.
