More on Arthroscopy

With small incision sites and direct access to most areas of the joint, an arthroscopic surgeon can diagnose and surgically correct a vast array of joint problems such as arthritis and ligament tears. Arthroscopy can also be used in conjunction with open procedures, such as an ACL Reconstruction.

Arthroscopic View
of a Knee.

Almost any region of the knee may be treated arthroscopically. A normal meniscus as seen through the arthroscope appears as a smooth, white wedge-shaped structure.

Arthroscopic surgery is not limited to the knee: also common is arthroscopy of the shoulder, ankle, wrist, elbow, and hip.
