Knee Arthroscopy with Chondroplasty and/or Synovectomy

Knee Arthroscopy with Chondroplasty and/or Synovectomy is available through Mishe Health Plan at a published cash price, paid when you book.

Knee arthroscopy with chondroplasty and/or synovectomy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat damaged cartilage and inflamed synovial tissue within the knee joint. Chondroplasty involves smoothing and reshaping damaged cartilage to reduce pain and improve joint function. Synovectomy involves removing inflamed or diseased synovial tissue that lines the joint, often used to treat conditions like rheumatoid arthritis or synovitis. During the procedure, small incisions are made around the knee, and an arthroscope (a tiny camera) is inserted to provide a clear view of the joint. Specialized instruments are then used to perform the necessary repairs. This technique allows for precise treatment with minimal disruption to surrounding tissues, leading to faster recovery times and less postoperative pain compared to traditional open surgery.
