What is Arthroscopy?

Arthroscopy is a form of minimally invasive surgery for joints. Arthroscopic procedures are technically demanding operations performed through tiny incisions utilizing an arthroscope (a form of telescope for joints) and other special equipment. Patients who undergo arthroscopic procedures have smaller scars, experience less pain and return to their previous level of activity much faster than patients who undergo open surgical procedures.
