Knee Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat problems inside the knee joint. A small camera called an arthroscope is inserted through tiny incisions, allowing the surgeon to view, repair, or remove damaged tissue without large open surgery. This technique is commonly used for meniscus tears, ligament injuries, cartilage damage, and loose bodies within the knee. Knee arthroscopy offers faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring compared to traditional surgery.
