Southern Cross Christchurch Hospital - Orthopaedic Surgery
Private Surgical Service, Orthopaedics
This is where you will come to have your surgery performed. The visits to your surgeon before and after surgery will be at their consulting rooms.
Ankle Arthroscopy
Two or three small incisions (cuts) are made in the ankle and a small telescopic instrument with a tiny camera attached (arthroscope) is inserted. This allows the surgeon to look inside the joint, identify problems and, in some cases, operate. Tiny instruments can be passed through the arthroscope to remove bony spurs, damaged cartilage or inflamed tissue.
