Arthroscopy is a procedure that helps in diagnosing and treating joint-related problems. In this, the surgeon or a specialist inserts a narrows thin tube that has a camera attached to its one end. After making a small incision the doctor inserts the tube in order to see a high-definition video on a monitor and visualize the live condition of the injury, bones, tissues, and nerves.
Arthroscopy is minimally invasive that means no large cuts are required and the procedure can be done without making a large incision. This helps in faster recovery, less scarring, and painless treatment.
