Surgical techniques (arthroscopy, total knee replacement)

Surgical techniques like arthroscopy and total knee replacement are used to treat knee problems. Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure where a small camera is inserted into the knee through tiny incisions. This allows doctors to see and repair damaged tissues without large cuts. Total knee replacement involves surgically removing the damaged knee joint and replacing it with an artificial joint. This is usually done for severe arthritis or injury. Both procedures aim to reduce pain and improve mobility, helping patients return to their daily activities with better knee function.
