What is Knee Arthroscopy?

Knee arthroscopy involves inserting the arthroscope (an instrument with a small camera about the size of a pencil) into the patient’s knee joint using small incisions. The arthroscope works to send images of the damaged knee cartilage, meniscus or patella (structures of the knee) in great detail to a television monitor. The orthopaedic surgeon can use the procedure to assess, feel, remove or repair damaged tissues. To implement this, small surgical instruments are introduced through other openings around the patient’s knee.
