Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to diagnose and treat problems inside a joint. A small camera called an arthroscope is inserted through a small incision, allowing the surgeon to view the joint and perform appropriate procedures using specialized instruments. Arthroscopy is commonly performed on the knee, shoulder, ankle, hip, elbow, and wrist.
Because arthroscopic surgery uses smaller incisions, many patients experience less soft-tissue disruption, smaller scars, and reduced postoperative discomfort compared to open surgery β with earlier rehabilitation and a faster return to daily activities in selected patients.
Recovery depends on the procedure performed and the patient's overall health. Simple procedures may allow a relatively quick return to routine activities, while ACL or rotator cuff reconstruction requires a longer rehabilitation program.
