Knee Arthroscopy
This is done by inserting a camera into your knee by way of small incisions in the skin. This helps your surgeon in diagnosing problems including arthritis, ligament damage, and torn cartilage. Your surgeon can also treat some of these conditions during the same operation.
Is knee arthroscopy right for me?
If you have a torn cartilage, loose body or have damaged your joint surface. If you are having problems with your knee giving way and locking. If treatments such as physiotherapy and exercise have not helped then your surgeon may suggest knee arthroscopy to treat your symptoms.
Knee arthroscopy is a safe procedure that allows most patients to return to normal activities.
