Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure used to visualize, diagnose, and treat problems inside a joint. It is a
minimally invasive procedure that involves making small incisions and using a specialized instrument
called an arthroscope, which is a thin, flexible tube with a light and a camera attached to it.
During the arthroscopy surgery, the arthroscope is inserted into the joint through a small incision,
allowing the surgeon to see the inside of the joint on a monitor. This provides a clear view of the joint's
structures, such as the cartilage, ligaments, and synovium (the lining of the joint).
Arthroscopy can be used for various joints in the body, including:
Knee arthroscopy: Commonly used to diagnose and treat knee problems like torn meniscus, cartilage
damage, and ligament injuries (e.g., ACL or PCL tears).
Shoulder arthroscopy: Often performed to treat conditions like rotator cuff tears, shoulder
impingement, and labral tears.
Hip arthroscopy: Used to address issues like hip impingement, labral tears, and loose cartilage.
Ankle arthroscopy: Primarily used for conditions such as ankle impingement, loose bodies, and synovitis.
The advantages of arthroscopy over traditional open surgery include smaller incisions, reduced scarring,
less tissue damage, quicker recovery time, and potentially shorter hospital stays.

sometimes more extensive open surgery may be necessary for complex cases.
As with any surgery, there are potential risks and complications associated with arthroscopy, such as
infection, bleeding, blood clots, and damage to surrounding structures. It is essential to discuss the
procedure thoroughly with your doctor to understand the risks and benefits specific to your condition.
Additionally, post-surgery, following the surgeon's instructions for recovery and rehabilitation is crucial
for achieving the best possible outcome.
