Arthroscopic surgery, also known as arthroscopy, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat problems within a joint. It involves the use of a small camera, called an arthroscope, which is inserted through tiny incisions in the skin to visualize the inside of the joint. This allows the surgeon to examine the joint structures, such as the cartilage, ligaments, and tendons, in real-time on a monitor.

Arthroscopic surgery offers several advantages over traditional open surgery, including smaller incisions, less tissue damage, reduced risk of complications, and faster recovery times. It is commonly performed on joints such as the knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, and wrist to address a variety of conditions, including torn cartilage, ligament injuries, joint inflammation, and loose bodies within the joint.

During the procedure, specialized instruments are inserted through additional small incisions to repair or remove damaged tissue, reconstruct ligaments, or remove debris from the joint space. The surgeon can visualize the entire procedure on the monitor, allowing for precise and accurate treatment while minimizing trauma to surrounding tissues.

Arthroscopic surgery is typically performed as an outpatient procedure, meaning patients can often return home the same day. Recovery times vary depending on the specific procedure performed and the individual patient, but most patients can expect to resume normal activities within a few weeks to months following surgery.
