Knee & Shoulder Arthroscopy — Keyhole Surgery
Knee and shoulder arthroscopy treats meniscus tears, rotator cuff problems, cartilage damage and sports injuries precisely, through small incisions — often meaning less tissue disruption, less pain and a smoother recovery. Your pre- and postoperative visits take place at the clinic in Bnei Reem, near Gedera; the procedure itself is performed at a hospital in the appropriate framework.

Arthroscopy enables precise treatment through smaller incisions; most patients regain function, though timelines vary by procedure.
