Arthroscopic Surgery in Los Angeles, CA

Orthopaedic surgeon Dr. Thomas Vangsness performs arthroscopic surgery, which is a procedure used to visualize, diagnose and treat problems inside a joint. During arthroscopic surgery, Dr. Vangsness makes a small incision in your skin and the inserts a pencil-sized instrument, called an arthroscope, which contains a small lens and lighting system, to magnify and illuminate the structures inside the joint. When the arthroscope is attached to a miniature television camera, Dr. Vangsness is able to see the interior of the joint through this very small incision rather than needing to make a large incision and leave an unnecessary scar.

To perform your arthroscopic surgery, Dr. Vangsness will make very small incisions and insert a fiber optic camera and very small tools to sew and perform the cuff repair. The camera transmits images to Dr. Vangsness via a video screen, allowing him to see inside the joint.
