What is Knee Arthroscopy?

Developed in the early 1900s by Japanese surgeon Masaki Watanabe, knee arthroscopy’s origin is based on knee joint diagnostics. As far back as 1919, when it is said the first arthroscopic examination of the knee joint was performed, doctors were able to obtain high-resolution images of the anterior knee. Advancements in technology have led to smaller equipment and higher resolution imaging to make knee arthroscopy the best possible diagnostic procedure.

 

Knee Arthroscopy is the insertion of a small fiber-optic camera into the knee joint in order to diagnose and treat pain, inflammation or knee trauma. A small 1/8th of an inch incision is all that is required for the camera to get a detailed look at the joint. Multiple insertions may be required for larger surgeries. A special liquid is used to help accentuate the different facets of the knee joint or potential loose bone fragments.

Diagnostic & Treatment

Having eyes on the inside has its obvious diagnostic benefits, however, having a better understanding of the treatment area allows surgeons to more confidently perform even the most fragile and high-stakes procedures. By utilizing arthroscopy, our team is able to diagnose and treat any serious conditions of the knee. Our sports medicine specialists will use arthroscopy before, during, and after certain procedures to ensure the best possible treatment to tears in ligaments, cartilage, or strains and sprains.

Our patients experience instant relief the moment they realize how informed and capable our surgeons are through the use of this miraculous medical advancement. Knee injuries can be terrifying. For athletes, they can be career enders and for everyone else, it can seriously hinder your favorite or even day-to-day activities. This is why it is so important to choose the right facility to treat your knee injury.
