Arthroscopic Surgery
Arthroscopy allows an orthopedic surgeon to diagnose and treat disorders by providing a clear view of the inside of the joint with small incisions, using a pencil-sized instrument called an arthroscope. In nearly all cases, patients are able to return home the same day as their procedure is performed.
The benefits of arthroscopic surgery include:
The scope allows transmission of an image through a small camera to a television monitor. The image enables the surgeon to thoroughly examine the interior of the joint to determine the source of the problem. During the procedure, the surgeon can insert surgical instruments through other small incisions in the joint to remove or repair damaged tissues.
