Details of Knee Arthroscopy Surgery

Knee arthroscopy is a surgical technique that can diagnose and treat problems in the knee joint.

• Torn anterior
• Torn meniscus
• Swollen synovium
• Pieces of torn cartilage
• Fractures in the knee bones

During the procedure, your surgeon will make a very small incision and insert a tiny camera — called an arthroscope — into your knee. This allows them to view the inside of the joint on a screen. The surgeon can then investigate a problem with the knee and, if necessary, correct the issue using small instruments within the arthroscope.

• Bleeding inside the knee joint
• Formation of a blood clot in the leg
• Infection inside the joint
• Stiffness in the knee
• Injury or damage to the cartilage, ligaments
