Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat joint problems, commonly performed on knees, shoulders, hips, ankles, wrists, and elbows. It involves the use of an arthroscope, a small, flexible instrument equipped with a camera and light source that allows surgeons to view the inside of a joint on a monitor in real time.
Arthroscopy is preferred for its minimally invasive nature, which often results in smaller incisions, reduced scarring, less pain, faster recovery times, and a lower risk of complications compared to traditional open surgery.
Common conditions treated with arthroscopy include torn ligaments (like ACL or meniscus tears), damaged cartilage, joint inflammation, recurrent dislocations, or certain types of fractures within a joint.
However, not all joint problems can be treated with arthroscopy. The suitability of this procedure depends on the specific condition and the patient's overall health. Orthopedic surgeons determine the best approach for diagnosing and treating joint issues, whether through arthroscopic techniques or other surgical methods, based on individual circumstances.
