Arthroscopic Surgery Techniques

Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive technique used to diagnose and treat joint problems. A small camera, called an arthroscope, is inserted through tiny incisions near the joint, allowing surgeons to visualize the area on a monitor. This method also allows the surgeon to use specialized tools to repair or remove damaged tissue, such as torn cartilage or ligaments. Because it involves smaller cuts, patients typically experience less pain, quicker recovery, and reduced scarring compared to traditional open surgery. It's commonly used in joints like the knee, shoulder, and ankle.
