Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to examine and treat damage to a joint. It involves the insertion of an arthroscope, a small, flexible endoscope, through a small incision in the skin. The arthroscope is equipped with a light and camera, which allows the surgeon to view the inside of the joint on a monitor, enabling precise treatment with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues.
Arthroscopic procedures are commonly performed in conjunction with traumatic injuries, especially for ligament and cartilage damage. One such example is ACL reconstruction, which is often performed arthroscopically to repair torn anterior cruciate ligaments (ACL) in the knee. The procedure typically involves the removal of the damaged tissue and the insertion of a graft to restore knee stability.
This technique allows for faster recovery, reduced scarring, and lower risk of infection.
