Knee Arthroscopy: A Video Journey

The diagnosis and treatment of knee joint problems have improved greatly since a minimally invasive procedure called arthroscopy was developed. Arthroscopy allows a surgeon to see inside the knee and to carry out procedures through small incisions. Orthopaedic surgeons can use arthroscopic surgery to perform a variety of procedures, including: The removal of tiny bits of bone or cartilage, the repair or reconstruction of torn ligaments, the removal of inflamed synovium (the membrane that lines the cavity of a synovial joint and produces synovial fluid) and the removal of inflamed bursae.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

The success of knee arthroscopy depends on age, weight, activity level and other factors. There are potential risks and recovery takes time. People with conditions limiting rehabilitation should not have this surgery. Only an orthopaedic surgeon can tell if knee arthroscopy is right for you.
