KNEE ARTHROSCOPY

KNEE ARTHROSCOPY

Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat issues inside the knee joint. Surgeons use a small camera, called an arthroscope, inserted through tiny incisions to view the inside of the knee on a screen, allowing them to treat a range of conditions such as torn cartilage, ligament damage, and other joint problems.

The procedure is commonly performed to repair or remove torn meniscal cartilage, reconstruct ligaments such as the ACL, or remove loose fragments of bone or cartilage. Knee arthroscopy is favored due to its smaller incisions, less pain post-operation, and faster recovery times compared to open surgery.

Why Consider Knee Arthroscopy?
  • Less Invasive: Smaller incisions and less tissue disruption than traditional surgery.
  • Faster Recovery: Patients often recover more quickly compared to open surgery.
  • Accurate Diagnosis: Surgeons can directly see the knee's interior and diagnose conditions more accurately.
  • Effective Treatment: Arthroscopy can treat a variety of knee issues, restoring joint functionality.

Knee arthroscopy is ideal for patients with persistent knee pain, locking, or instability that doesn't improve with conservative treatments. With its minimally invasive nature, it allows patients to regain mobility and reduce discomfort efficiently.
