What is Knee Arthroscopy?
This is a minimal invasive surgical procedure performed to diagnose and treat problems in the knee joint.
Basically, the doctor will make a very small incision and insert the Arthroscope, a tiny camera, into your knee, enabling them to view the inside of the joint on the screen. The surgeons will then investigate the issue with the knee and correct it, if necessary, using small instruments within the arthroscope.
Arthroscopic knee surgery helps in diagnosing several knee problems like Meniscal tears or a misaligned kneecap and repair the ligaments of the joint with minimal risk. The recovery time and the prognosis will depend on the extent of the knee injury and the complexity of the procedure.
