About Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed by orthopedic surgeons to diagnose and treat joint problems. Using a small, pencil-sized instrument called an arthroscope, which contains a camera and light, the surgeon makes tiny incisions to view the joint's interior on a high-definition monitor. This 'keyhole' surgery is commonly performed on knees, shoulders, ankles, hips, wrists, and elbows. It allows for precise treatment of conditions like torn cartilage, ligament injuries, and inflamed joint linings with significantly less pain, scarring, and recovery time compared to traditional open surgery. Arthroscopy is a cornerstone of modern orthopedic care, enabling faster patient recovery and return to daily activities.
