As one of the most complex weight-bearing joints, the knee can particularly be susceptible to the injuries and deterioration in the form of osteoarthritis. If you are one of the millions of who are suffering from immense pain due to an orthopedic injury or degenerative condition like arthritis, chances are you have had to miss out from work, limit yourself from physical activities and sports, or have difficulty with basic movement and mobility on the side of the affected joint. If you are suffering from conditions like these you may be a candidate for the minimally invasive knee arthroscopy.

What is knee Arthroscopy Surgery?

Knee Arthroscopy Surgery is also known as Arthroscopic Knee Surgery, Knee Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure performed by an orthopedic surgeon for the diagnosis and treatment of joint injuries and disease. The procedure is designed to provide the surgeon direct visualization and access to the joint using images taken by a small camera attached to the end of a Surgical Instruments (arthroscope). Once the source of the pain or stiffness has been identified, Knee arthroscopy can then be used to correct a number of common injuries. Many patients who undergo this procedure tend to return to the level of physical activity and mobility enjoyed before the onset of pain and injury.

Common Causes of Chronic Pain and Stiffness in the Knee Joint

When the cartilage that lubricates the bones in the knee joint begins to wear down and deteriorate, either through normal wear and tear over time as a person ages, or as the result of an injury, it leads to friction between the bones, which can result in immense pain, inflammation (swelling), and difficulty with movement and mobility in the affected joint.

Benefits of Minimally Invasive Knee Arthroscopy Surgery for Knee Joint

Depending on the nature and extent of the injury, Knee arthroscopy can be used to diagnose and correct the source of chronic pain, stiffness, and mobility problems in the Knee joint, without the risks and recovery time associated with major surgery. Because it is a minimally invasive procedure that can usually be performed on an outpatient basis, arthroscopic knee surgery has many benefits over traditional knee surgery for qualified patients, including:

• Smaller incisions
• Reduced blood loss
• Shorter recovery period
• Less risk of complications associated with major surgery
• Greater visualization, precision, and accuracy in diagnosing and treating knee injuries
• Less disruptive for lifestyle and quality of life
