What is Arthroscopic surgery?

Arthroscopic surgery is a procedure performed by orthopedic surgeons for therapeutic as well as diagnostic purpose. This procedure is performed on joints using an arthroscope (an instrument used to visualize the interior of joints).

The arthroscope is then inserted through the incision along with the camera. Hence interior of the joint can be visualized. Other instruments might be inserted through other incisions, depending upon the need.
