Arthroscopic Surgery
What Is Arthroscopy?
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive diagnostic and treatment procedure used for joint conditions. Originally, arthroscopy was a diagnostic tool only, used for planning a standard open surgery. However, because of the development of new instruments and advanced surgical techniques, we can now treat many conditions with arthroscopic techniques.
What Is an Arthroscope?
An arthroscope is a small tube that we insert into the body. It consists of a:
- System of lenses
- Small video camera
- Light for viewing
The camera is connected to a monitoring system that allows your surgical team to view the operation in real-time. We usually use the arthroscope with other tools that we insert through another incision. These tools are used for performing the procedure.
