Arthroscopic
Surgery in Lahore
Joint pain has a way of slowly taking over your life. At first, you just feel a little discomfort while climbing stairs. Then it becomes painful while you sit for long hours. Eventually, everything feels like a struggle. Your personal and professional life gets disturbed. Joint pain does not just affect your body. It affects your confidence, your independence and your daily routine. But the solution is simpler than you imagined. Modern science has allowed surgeons to change pain into relief easily and effectively.
Arthroscopic surgery in Lahore is a modern, minimally invasive procedure that treats your one and all joint problems. Instead of making a large cut like in traditional open surgery, only small incisions are made in this surgery. A high-definition camera is used, which shows a clear, zoomed-in view of your joint on a screen. It allows accurate diagnosis and treatment without unnecessary damage to surrounding tissues. This means less pain after surgery. Smaller scars, lower risk of complications and faster healing.
Most importantly, a quicker return to your normal life. People now prefer this advanced method because of its benefits and safety. At Bones Cure, Dr. Waqas Javed successfully treats your bone and joint conditions using advanced arthroscopic surgery in Lahore. It is not just about repairing a joint. It is about restoring your ability to move freely. Because when you walk again without pain — that is our success.
Your Recovery From
an Arthroscopic Surgery
Recovery after arthroscopic surgery is usually much smoother and faster. As it is not a traditional open surgery, there is less damage to the surrounding muscles and tissues. There is no large surgical wound. Healing after arthroscopic surgery begins almost immediately. The discomfort is generally manageable, and you don’t have to stay at hospital for long. Mostly, patients go home the same day or after a short monitoring period.
You will start gentle joint movement within a few days. At first, it may feel slightly uncomfortable. That is normal. Your body is adjusting. But as the swelling reduces, the strength improves. You will progress every day. Simple activities like walking around the house, using your arm carefully, or standing comfortably can be observed in 2 weeks. Physiotherapy is also recommended by Dr. Waqas Javed because it strengthens the joint and restores flexibility.
The exact recovery time depends on the type of arthroscopic procedure performed. For example, knee and ankle arthroscopy takes 4 to 6 weeks to recover completely. Shoulder and hip arthroscopy will take 6 to 12 weeks. And a complicated meniscus or ACL arthroscopy takes about 3 to 6 months to recover completely.
At Bones Cure, recovery is not left to chance. You are carefully guided at every stage — from day 1 until you regain full function. Our orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Waqas Javed, provides clear instructions after your arthroscopic surgery in Lahore. Follow-up visits are scheduled. Progress is monitored, and questions are answered.
The goal is not just to perform surgery. The goal is to help you return safely to work, to sports, to prayer, to family gatherings — to the life you enjoy. Because true success is not when the surgery ends, it is when you move again without fear.

Types of Arthroscopic Surgery
Arthroscopic surgery can be performed on different types of bones and joints. A tiny camera is inserted through very small incisions. The inside of your joint is displayed clearly on a screen. The problem is identified. It is repaired. Arthroscopy is used both in the diagnosis and treatment of joint problems. Here are some of the common types of arthroscopic surgery.
Knee Arthroscopy
Used to diagnose and treat problems of the knee joint, including knee pain, swelling, stiffness, knee locking, and difficulty in walking.
Elbow Arthroscopy
It is a small-incision surgery that treats elbow stiffness, elbow pain, swelling, joint damage, and arm movement.
Ankle Arthroscopy
If you have ankle joint damage or ligament injuries, then ankle arthroscopy might be suitable for you. It also treats cartilage problems of the ankles. Common symptoms that require ankle arthroscopy include ankle pain and swelling, ankle stiffness, a clicking sensation in the ankles, and reduced movement of ankle joints.
Meniscus Arthroscopy
Meniscus cartilage is present in the knee joint, and if it gets damaged, it can cause knee locking, swelling, and pain during bending the knee. People having problems with meniscus cartilage feel difficulty in using the toilet and performing prayers. It can be treated at Bones Cure through a procedure called meniscus arthroscopy.
Hip Arthroscopy
It is a precise procedure that is used to treat hip joint problems such as labral tears and impingement, causing hip pain, stiffness, and reduced mobility.
Wrist Arthroscopy
If you have wrist pain, difficulty in hand movement, weakness, and reduced grip of the hand, then wrist arthroscopy can diagnose and treat the issue using a tiny camera.
ACL Arthroscopy
ACL means anterior cruciate ligament in the knee. If this ligament is damaged, it can cause knee instability, swelling, and a popping sound from the knee. It can be treated using ACL arthroscopy at Bones Cure.
PCL Arthroscopy
It is a procedure to repair the posterior cruciate ligament of the knee. PCL treatment through arthroscopy can help you get relief from knee pain, swelling, and instability, and you can easily go downstairs without any difficulty.
Shoulder Arthroscopy
It is used to repair injuries of the shoulder and improve shoulder joint movement. It is recommended for patients having shoulder pain and weakness, limited motion of the shoulders, a clicking sound in the shoulder joints, and frequent shoulder dislocations.
Rotator Cuff Arthroscopy
It is a minimally invasive procedure that repairs torn tendons of the shoulder. You can restore strength and movement and get relief from shoulder pain and weakness.
Eligibility and Non-eligibility for Arthroscopic Surgery
Arthroscopy is recommended after a proper evaluation by an orthopedic surgeon. Here is what makes you eligible for an arthroscopic surgery:
You have confirmed ligament or cartilage damage
(rotator cuff or labral tears)
Conservative treatment has failed.
You have joint instability.
MRI shows a repairable injury.
You are medically fit for anesthesia.
If you have meniscus injuries.
Swelling and stiffness of the joints.
Persistent joint pain causes discomfort in day-to-day activities.
If you have sports-related joint injuries.
If you need minimally invasive repair.

When Should You See Dr. Waqas for Arthroscopic Surgery?
Sometimes we keep waiting. We tell ourselves, “It will get better.” We apply ointments. We take painkillers. We rest for a few days. But this is not a permanent solution. If you experience any of the following symptoms discussed below, you should immediately consult an orthopedic surgeon.
If your joint pain has become a regular part of your life. No amount of rest, medications, or physiotherapy is helping you.
If you notice swelling or stiffness in your knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, or elbow that keeps returning. You should not ignore it and consult the best orthopedic surgeon in Lahore, Dr. Waqas. Because with time, your daily life becomes difficult. Even small tasks like climbing stairs, carrying a weight, or offering a prayer can feel challenging
If your joint feels unstable — as if it might “give way” while walking — that is a serious warning sign. Many patients describe this after an injury. They feel a sudden shift in the knee or shoulder. Sometimes there was a popping sound. Sometimes swelling appeared within hours. These symptoms may indicate ligament tears.
Limited range of motion is another important sign. When you avoid certain movements because you fear pain, or when your joint simply refuses to move fully, it affects not just your body but your confidence.
Persistent shoulder pain with weakness indicates a rotator cuff or labral tear. Locking inside the joint can be due to loose cartilage or bone fragments that need specialist attention.
If you get sports injuries and ignore them with the hope that time will heal everything. You are making a mistake. Because untreated injuries can worsen and cause long-term joint damage. So, early evaluation at Bones Cure will make treatment simple.
You can also consult Dr. Waqas Javed if you are looking for a minimally invasive surgical option. With modern treatment and care, many problems are treated with arthroscopy instead of large cuts. Many patients hesitate because they fear open surgery. Arthroscopy is different. It is precise and controlled.
Arthroscopic Surgery at Bones Cure?
Your arthroscopic journey at Bones Cure is simple and smooth. There are no unnecessary procedures. No confusion. Just clear medical guidance and ethical decision-making. Here is a 4-step journey from consultation to complete treatment.
Initial appointment
Simply call Bone Cure clinic in Lahore or fill the form provided on our website to book a consultation. During your initial appointment, our orthopedic expert, Dr. Waqas, will ask about your medical history, your symptoms, and he will examine your joint thoroughly. In case of an emergency or injury, you can visit our clinic directly.
Diagnosis and Personalized Treatment Plan
You may be asked for some necessary tests, such as X-rays, MRI, or other scans, to accurately diagnose the problem. After the diagnosis has been made, he will clearly explain the available treatment options. He will also provide details of the arthroscopic surgery process, the expected time of the surgery, and the after-care of the surgery. This will clear all your confusions and you will get an idea about the process.
After-Surgery Care and Recovery
Dr Waqas will guide you about the post-surgery care, how to take care of the incision site, when to start movement, physiotherapy plan, and recommend medications for pain relief. Your recovery process will be quick and smooth if you follow the doctor's advice properly. You will also have to visit Bones Cure for follow-up, so that Dr Waqas can monitor the recovery process. Finally, you will have improved joint strength and mobility after healing.
Arthroscopic Surgery by Dr Waqas
You will be advised to fast for 6 to 8 hours before surgery. On the day of surgery, our surgeon will perform your arthroscopy in a clean and sterile operating theatre. At Bones Cure, we use advanced equipment and modern techniques to provide successful results to patients. After the surgery, you will be monitored for a short period of time before discharge.
Arthroscopic Surgery Cost in Lahore
The arthroscopic surgery cost in Lahore depends on several factors. The joint being treated, the complexity of injury, the clinic and expertise of the surgeon, and the cost of anesthesia all of these contribute to the final charges. The typical cost of arthroscopy in Lahore ranges from PKR 150,000 to PKR 450,000. However, the final amount is decided based on the complexity of the procedure. We understand that cost is not just a number. It is a concern. It is a decision that requires thought and trust.
At Bones Cure, transparency is our priority. Before any surgery is scheduled, you will receive a clear and honest explanation of the expected expenses. We make sure that there are no hidden charges. So that you focus on your health, not on the cost. Straightforward guidance by Dr. Waqas Javed helps you to make a confident decision.
Always remember that your health is an investment, not an expense. Don’t let joint pain control your life. When your joint moves freely again, your confidence returns, too. That is what truly matters.
You Don’t Have To Live With Pain
Joint pain is not something you should “live with.” It can be exhausting when every step hurts. Every movement reminds you that something is not right. Other treatments, like medicines, injections, and physiotherapy, may provide temporary relief. But the pain and discomfort keep coming back.
At Bones Cure, your mobility matters. We believe in ethical treatment. No unnecessary procedures. No exaggerated claims. Just honest guidance and expert care. With more than 20 years of experience, we offer advanced arthroscopic surgery in Lahore with safe anesthesia and international treatment protocols. The recovery is faster, the pain is less, and you get relief from the joint pain easily.
Imagine walking without knee instability. Lifting your arm without sharp shoulder pain. Playing cricket again without worrying about your ligament. All of this is just one decision away. So, hurry up and take the first step toward pain-free movement.
Frequently
Asked Questions
Can arthroscopy be done on my knee or shoulder, and other joints?
Arthroscopy is commonly preferred for treating knee, shoulder, ankle, hip, and sometimes elbow joints. It is especially recommended for ligament tears and cartilage damage.
Can my child safely have arthroscopic surgery?
Yes, in certain situations — especially sports injuries or ligament tears. Arthroscopy can be safely performed in children and adolescents. Parents should not be worried because arthroscopy uses small incisions and precise techniques. So it is often a safer option when performed by an experienced surgeon.
Will I be in the operating theatre for many hours?
Most arthroscopic procedures take between 30 minutes and 2 hours. Simple procedure takes less time than complex ones. At Bones Cure, many patients are amazed by how short the surgery is.
Can a torn ACL or meniscus be treated through arthroscopy?
Yes. ACL reconstruction and meniscus repair are very commonly performed using arthroscopic techniques. Dr. Waqas has successfully treated many ACL patients.
Does age matter for this procedure?
Age alone is not the deciding factor. Your overall health, the condition of your joint, and the severity of the damage matter the most. Many older patients benefit from arthroscopy when the problem is properly selected.
What tests do I need before the surgery?
Before surgery, certain tests are needed to ensure everything is safe and well planned. These usually include X-rays, MRI scans, blood tests, and a basic pre-anesthesia evaluation. These steps are not just formalities — they are safeguards to make sure your procedure is performed smoothly and safely.
