Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive joint surgery performed using a small camera called an arthroscope. The camera is introduced through a small incision, allowing the surgeon to examine and treat the inside of a joint with precision.
Additional small instruments can be inserted through other tiny incisions to treat the identified problem. Compared with many open procedures, arthroscopy generally involves smaller incisions and allows earlier rehabilitation.
Repair or removal of torn meniscus cartilage in the knee joint.
Treatment of anterior cruciate ligament and other ligament injuries.
Assessment and treatment of cartilage defects and degeneration.
Repair of rotator cuff tears and shoulder impingement.
Treatment of synovitis and other inflammatory joint conditions.
Removal of loose fragments or bone chips from within the joint.
Clear view of internal joint structures for accurate diagnosis and treatment.
Small incisions mean less tissue trauma and faster healing.
Many procedures can be performed as outpatient surgery.
Quicker return to activities compared to open surgery.
Patients can begin rehabilitation sooner after the procedure.
Smaller incisions reduce the risk of post-operative infection.
