Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to diagnose and treat joint problems — most commonly in the knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, and wrist — using a small camera and specialized instruments inserted through tiny incisions.

What is Arthroscopy?

During arthroscopic surgery, the surgeon inserts a thin tube with a camera (arthroscope) into the joint through a small incision, allowing them to view the joint on a monitor and perform repairs — such as removing damaged cartilage, repairing torn ligaments, or smoothing rough surfaces — using additional small instruments.

Compared to traditional open surgery, arthroscopy generally involves smaller incisions, less tissue disruption, and often a faster initial recovery. The procedure is usually performed under general, spinal, or regional anesthesia and frequently on an outpatient basis, depending on the joint and the extent of the repair.
