Keyhole Surgery
Dr Mwaturura offers keyhole surgery, also known as arthroscopy in Nambour. This is commonly used to treat shoulder, elbow and wrist conditions such as:
- Rotator Cuff Tears: tendons in the shoulder joint can tear due to injury or wear-and-tear.
- Shoulder Instability: Recurrent partial or full dislocation of the shoulder after trauma.
- Elbow Locking or Catching: Intermittent inability to move the joint because of loose bodies that can occur after trauma or in arthritic joints.
- Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:
pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand caused by a compressed nerve.
- Wrist Ganglia: pockets of fluid that can become tense and cause pain.
Advantages of Keyhole Surgery
