The veterinary arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique that allows for diagnose and treat joint injuries in dogs with greater accuracy, less postoperative pain and faster recovery than conventional surgery.
At Benivet Benissa We use arthroscopy mainly in cases of lameness, joint problems or chronic injuries, always assessing each patient individually to indicate the most appropriate and safest treatment.

This procedure is performed through small incisions and the use of a high-definition camera, which minimises post-operative pain and significantly speeds up your pet's recovery.
This procedure is ideal for cases of:
Hip or elbow dysplasia
Ligament or meniscus injuries
Arthritis or synovitis

The arthroscopy in veterinary medicine represents a key advance in the treatment of joint problems. At Benivet BenissaWe have experience in its application for animals with chronic pain, intermittent lameness or limited mobility that does not improve with conservative treatment.
This technique allows:
Access the joint without open surgery.
Accurate diagnosis of internal disturbances.
Perform joint lavage, fragment resection or ligament reconstruction.
Reduce surgical trauma, risk of infection and hospitalisation time.
In addition, arthroscopy can be complemented with postoperative treatments such as pain management in our veterinary pain unit and rehabilitation programmes.
If you notice that your dog or cat limps, avoids climbing stairs or is stiff when getting up, request a consultation. At Benivet we will assess whether arthroscopy is the most suitable option for your recovery.
