Arthroscopic Knee Surgery

What is arthroscopic knee surgery?

Arthroscopic knee surgery is a procedure used to diagnose problems in the knee such as a torn meniscus, a misaligned patella, fractured knee bones, and more. During surgery, a small incision is made in order to insert a small camera into the patient’s knee. Once the surgeon diagnoses the problem through a monitor, corrections can be made using very small instruments. When pain and immobility in your knee start to impair your ability to perform your normal activities, your doctor may recommend arthroscopic knee surgery.
