Arthroscopy is a surgical manipulation that allows detailed examination of the internal structures of joints using an endoscope.
It is carried out both for diagnostic and therapeutic purposes.
Types of arthroscopy: arthroscopy of the shoulder joint (rotator cuff injury, adhesive capsulitis, calcifying tendinitis), arthroscopy of the knee joint (meniscus rupture, degenerative arthritis, cruciate ligament rupture), arthroscopy of the wrist joint, etc.
Indications for arthroscopy of the knee joint: absence of pathology according to the results of radiography despite constant pain, frequent accumulation of fluid in the knee joint, pulling pains in the popliteal fossa or inability to straighten the leg, fatigue and pain when walking.

Cost of diagnosis and treatment: 6,500,000 - 7,500,000 won

Arthroscopy

It is carried out in case of wear of the knee joint as a result of inflammation or injury. Both partial and complete joint replacement is possible.
When determining the scope of the operation, the patient's condition is taken into account.
Indications for surgery: arthritis of the knee joints, bone necrosis, inability to regenerate cartilage tissue due to degenerative joint damage,
severe pain and associated functional limitations.

Cost of diagnosis and treatment: 16.500.000 - 17.500.000 won (one knee), 25.500.000 - 26.500.000 won (both knees)

Knee replacement

Endoprosthetics is an operation to partially or completely replace a worn–out hip joint to restore motor function and reduce pain.
The warranty period of the endoprosthesis is on average 20 years.
Indications for surgery: coxarthrosis, hip dysplasia, congenital hip dislocation, injuries, infections, etc.

Cost of diagnosis and treatment: 15.500.000 - 16.500.000 won
