Arthroscopy or Artroscophic surgery is a
procedure that allows the visual inspection of a joint. This type of procedure
is minimally invasive where examination and possibly treatment of the damaged
joint is performed using an arthroscope. This is a very small camera that is
attached to a long tube that is used to view the inside of the joint and
manipulated expertly by surgeons. Small incisions are made to insert the scope which results to minimal scars after
surgery. The most common joint
that undergoes this procedure is the knee joint.
