Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat joint problems. A thin, flexible tube with a camera (arthroscope) is inserted through small incisions around the joint. This allows surgeons to view the inside of the joint on a monitor and repair damaged tissue or remove foreign bodies. Arthroscopy is typically performed on the knees, shoulders, and ankles and offers several benefits, including shorter recovery time, less scarring, and minimal pain compared to traditional surgery. It is often recommended for conditions such as torn ligaments, cartilage damage, and joint inflammation, and improves overall joint function and mobility.
