Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique that uses a small camera inserted into a joint through tiny incisions only a few millimeters in size. This allows the surgeon to clearly view the structures inside the joint on a monitor without making a large incision like in traditional open surgery.
This technique is commonly used to repair torn knee menisci, reconstruct the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), repair torn shoulder tendons, and diagnose abnormalities inside the joint that may not be visible on standard X-rays.
The advantages of arthroscopic surgery include smaller incisions, less pain, faster recovery, and a lower risk of infection compared with traditional open surgery. Most patients can return home on the same day or may only need to stay in the hospital for 1–2 days. However, arthroscopic surgery still requires an experienced surgeon and an appropriate post-operative rehabilitation program to help the joint regain optimal function.
