Arthroscopy
ARTHROSCOPY
Arthroscopy is a medical procedure used to diagnose and treat joint problems. It involves the use of a small camera, called an arthroscope, that is inserted into a joint through a small incision. This allows doctors to see inside the joint and perform certain procedures without making large incisions which is why it is referred as a minimally invasive procedure.
Conditions That Can Be Diagnosed and Treated With Arthroscopy
- Torn Cartilage
- Inflammation
- Bone Spurs
- Loose Bodies
Arthroscopy can be used to repair or remove torn cartilage in the knee, shoulder, elbow, ankle, hip, or wrist joints.
Synovitis, an inflammation of the lining of the joint, can be treated using arthroscopy.
Bone spurs and other abnormalities in the joint can be removed using arthroscopy.
Loose bodies, such as bone or cartilage fragments, can be removed from the joint using arthroscopy.
