Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure in which a small fiberoptic telescope (arthroscope) is inserted into the joint. The joint is distended with fluid for visualization of structures. The operating team can view the surgery on a monitor. As arthroscopes are approximately 4 mm in diameter, the incisions are very small. During the procedure, which is conducted under anesthesia, the inside of the joint is examined for damaged tissue. The most common types of arthroscopic knee surgery include: Removal or repair of a torn meniscus (cartilage) Ligament reconstruction Debridement of the joint (removing damaged & loose tissue) Cartilage Regeneration Procedures (Marrow Stimulation, OATS, ACI) Mobilising a Stiff Joint
