Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to diagnose and treat joint issues. It’s commonly performed on the knees, shoulders, and other large joints.
Through small incisions, a tiny camera provides an inside view of the joint. Surgeons can assess and repair issues without large incisions, resulting in faster recovery.
Compared to traditional surgery, arthroscopy has shorter recovery times, reduced scarring, and lower risk of complications, making it an appealing option for many patients.
Doctors recommend arthroscopy for persistent joint pain, injuries, and conditions like torn cartilage. It’s a valuable option when conservative treatments haven’t been effective.
