Answer #1

A surgical arthroscopy may be performed to treat diseased or damaged structures of the knee joint, such as a torn meniscus, damaged patella and inflamed or damaged synovium.Knee arthroscopy is one of the most common orthopedic procedures. When performing a knee arthroscopy a small incision is made in the skin and an arthroscope, which contains a small camera and light system to magnify and illuminate the joint structures, is inserted into the knee. Fluid is then injected into the joint to distend it and provide better visualization of the structures within the knee. The camera allows the physician to examine the entire knee joint to determine the type of injury or condition, then proceed to correct or repair the abnormality identified.
