Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure in which an orthopedic surgeon uses a small camera called an arthroscope to examine the inside of the knee joint.
Through small incisions, specialized instruments may be used to diagnose or treat selected problems involving structures inside the knee.
The suitability of arthroscopy depends on the patient's symptoms, examination, imaging and underlying knee condition.
Arthroscopy may be used for selected knee conditions after orthopedic assessment and appropriate diagnostic evaluation.
