Joint Arthroscopy

Joint arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat problems within a joint, often the knee, shoulder, or ankle. During the procedure, a small camera (an arthroscope) and special instruments are inserted through tiny incisions in the skin. This allows doctors to view the inside of the joint on a screen and perform repairs, such as removing damaged tissue or fixing cartilage issues. The benefits of arthroscopy include smaller scars, less pain, and quicker recovery compared to traditional open surgery, making it a common choice for joint-related conditions.
