Arthroscopic knee surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat various knee joint issues. It involves inserting a small camera, known as an arthroscope, through tiny incisions around the knee. This camera allows the surgeon to view the interior of the knee joint on a monitor, enabling precise visualization of the damaged structures. The surgeon can also perform surgical interventions using specialized instruments inserted through additional small incisions.
Common conditions treated with arthroscopic knee surgery include meniscal tears, ligament injuries, and cartilage damage.
The benefits of this technique include reduced postoperative pain, quicker recovery times, and minimal scarring compared to traditional open surgery. Patients typically experience faster rehabilitation and can return to normal activities sooner.
