Arthroscopy is a procedure for diagnosing and treating joint problems. In this procedure, a surgeon inserts a narrow tube attached to a fibre-optic video camera through a small incision not bigger than a size of a buttonhole. The visual of your joint's interior is displayed on a high-definition video monitor. Arthroscopy allows the surgeon to assess your joint's interior without making a large incision. Surgeons can even repair some type of joint damage during arthroscopy by inserting pencil like instruments via other incisions.
