Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat problems in the knee. It is done using a thin, flexible instrument called an arthroscope, which is inserted through small incisions in the skin.
During a knee arthroscopy, the arthroscope allows the surgeon to view the inside of the joint on a video monitor in real time. This is especially useful for evaluating and treating conditions such as injuries to the cartilage, meniscus, ligaments, and other tissues in the knee.
The benefits of knee arthroscopy include faster recovery, less pain, and lower risk of complications compared to traditional knee surgeries. After the procedure, physical therapy is required to help strengthen the knee and restore normal function.
Knee arthroscopy is commonly performed to treat sports injuries, such as meniscus and cruciate ligament tears, as well as to address degenerative cartilage problems. If you are considering knee arthroscopy, we can help you with the best treatment available worldwide.
