Knee Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive technique of surgery in which a fiber-optic camera is guided though small poke-holes (or "portals") into the knee. This technique can be used to treat a variety of knee disorders. These include:

• Removal of loose fragments within the joint
• Torn or frayed meniscus and cartilage
• Torn ligaments
• Some stiff knees
• Some infections
