What is Arthroscopy?

Arthroscopy is a modern, minimally invasive surgery that uses a specialized instrument called an arthroscope to detect, assess, and treat joint issues. This procedure allows for quicker recovery and a high success rate compared to traditional surgeries. It involves the use of a small camera, which displays live images of the affected joint, enabling precise diagnosis and treatment.
