Knee Arthroscopy
If you have persistent pain, catching, or swelling in your knee, a procedure known as arthroscopy may help relieve these problems.
Arthroscopy allows us to diagnose and treat knee disorders by providing a clear view of the inside of the knee with small incisionss, using a pencil-sized instrument called an arthroscope. The scope allows transmission of an image of your knee through a small camera to a television monitor. The image allows us to thoroughly examine the interior of the knee and determine the source of the problem. During the procedure, we also can insert surgical instruments through other small incisions in your knee to remove or repair damaged tissues.
With improvements of arthroscopes and higher resolution cameras, the procedure has become highly effective for both the accurate diagnosis and proper treatment of knee problems.
