Arthroscopic Knee Surgery
Arthroscopic Knee Surgery
Knee Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique that uses advanced technology, such as high-definition cameras and LED lights, to access the knee joint through small incisions. This approach minimizes damage to healthy tissue and is performed in a specialized operating room that resembles a cockpit.
Knee Arthroscopy Surgery is done with small holes. In the procedure, surgeon inserts the arthroscope (a small camera instrument about the size of a pencil) into the knee joint. The arthroscope transmits images of the inside of the knee to a monitor, allowing the surgeon to clearly visualize and diagnose any problems. This procedure is used to remove or repair damaged tissue by using small instruments inserted through additional incisions.
Common Conditions Treated With Arthroscopic Knee Surgery Include:
-
The removal or repair of torn meniscal cartilage
-
Reconstruction of a torn anterior cruciate ligament
-
Removal of loose fragments of bone or cartilage.
