Knee arthroscopic surgery is a procedure performed through small incisions in the skin to repair injuries to tissues such as ligaments, cartilage, or bone within the knee joint area.
This procedure can be used to diagnose a joint problem, perform surgery that repairs a joint problem, remove a loose or foreign body, or monitor a disease or the effectiveness of a treatment. Arthroscopy is commonly performed on the knee, shoulder, and ankle.It also can be done on the hip, elbow, and wrist. Bone tissue can be shaved to remove calcium deposits or bone spurs. 2  Soft tissues (such as ligaments, tendons, or cartilage) can be repaired or trimmed. 3  Ligaments can be cut to help relieve tightness in a stiff joint.
