What is an Arthroscopy?
Arthroscopy is the examination of the inside of a joint with a small telescope. It is used to investigate problems with joints such as the knee, shoulder and wrist. Tissues, which are damaged or deteriorated, can be inspected and probed in order to determine whether they are the source of the problem.
What is an Arthroscopy used for?
An arthroscopy is used to investigate problems with joints such as the knee, shoulder and wrist. During the procedure torn pieces of cartilage in these joints can be trimmed so that the torn fragments do not get pinched in the joint, some torn structures can actually be repaired with during the procedure with sutures. Sutures, which are too tight, can be partially cut to loosen them up, and the lining of the joint, which sometimes becomes so swollen that it becomes pinched, can be trimmed away.
