What Is Knee Arthroscopy?

Knee Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that provides access through the skin and other soft tissues, sans large incisions. As a diagnostic and surgical procedure for treating various knee problems, arthroscopy is performed by inserting a small camera known as an arthroscope into the knee joint.
