Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a small camera and specialized instruments to diagnose and treat various joint-related conditions. The procedure involves smaller incisions and less disruption to surrounding tissue than traditional open surgery, resulting in less pain, fewer complications, and faster recovery times. Arthroscopic surgery is primarily performed on an outpatient basis, allowing most patients to return home the same day.

A step-by-step look at what happens during this procedure.
Local or general anesthesia is administered for patient comfort during the procedure
Several small incisions (portals) are made around the joint area
A small camera (arthroscope) is inserted to visualize the joint interior
The surgeon examines joint structures and identifies any damage or abnormalities
Specialized instruments are used through additional incisions to repair damaged tissue
A structured, patient-first approach from first consultation to full recovery.
