Basics of Knee Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy: Latin: arthro - joint, scopy - view. To use arthroscopy is literally, to view the interior of a joint. Using this technique, an orthopedic surgeon can get a clear view of the interior of a damaged or diseased joint and determine what needs to be done and how to do it. This tool greatly simplifies and improves the options for treatment of damaged and diseased knees.
