What is Arthroscopy?

• An arthroscope is an instrument the size of a
  pencil that is inserted through a small incision.
  The arthroscope has a minute lighting system and
  camera that is used to transmit real-time images
  to a video monitor in the operating theatre.

Benefits of Arthroscopy

• Arthroscopy allows the orthopedic surgeon to have
  a close and transparent look at the joint that
  requires repair. He can see even the most minute
  details and accurately control the movement of
  the tools being used in the procedure. The
  benefits to the patient include the following
• The surgery usually is quicker than traditional
  procedures, so less time is spent under
  anaesthesia.
• In many cases, it can be done as an outpatient
  procedure allowing the patient to return home a
  few hours after the surgery. Even if it is done
  as an inpatient procedure, the time spent in the
  hospital is typically shorter.
• The post-surgical scarring is less.
• The recovery time and the time taken for
  regaining joint mobility are faster.
