Arthroscopy in Knee Injuries

What is Arthroscopy in Knee Injuries? 

Knee arthroscopy is an operating procedure for the visualization, diagnosis, and treatment of several problems within the knee joint. This is performed by tiny incisions which enable specific tools to be inserted. An arthroscopy is a small tool with lens and fiber optic light. This is connected to a tiny camera that shows a transparent picture of the joint on a screen to show all of the structures inside your knee. Arthroscopic knee surgery is used to cure a range of knee disorders, including cartilage tears of the meniscus, ligament tears of anterior cruciate, articular cartilage wear.

Treatment for Arthroscopy in Knee Injuries 

In general, regional or local anesthetic, knee arthroscopy may be performed. Your surgeon will create portals after adequate anesthesia for access to the knee joint. The portals are placed at certain locations in order to minimize the possible damage of neurons, blood vessels, and tendons in the area. A camera is placed in a joint via one portal and small instruments can be used to tackle the problem through others.
