Knee Arthroscopy

Knee Arthroscopy is available through Sports Medicine North at a published cash price, paid when you book.

Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure employed for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes to assess and address various knee joint issues. During knee arthroscopy, a small camera, known as an arthroscope, is inserted through tiny incisions in the knee. This allows surgeons to visualize the interior of the joint, providing a detailed view of the cartilage, ligaments, and other structures. Knee arthroscopy is versatile, facilitating the diagnosis and treatment of conditions such as meniscus tears, ligament injuries (like anterior cruciate ligament tears), and cartilage damage. The procedure's minimally invasive nature typically results in less postoperative pain, reduced recovery time, and smaller scars compared to traditional open surgery. Therapeutic interventions during knee arthroscopy may include repairing or trimming damaged tissues, removing loose bodies, and addressing various sources of knee pain and instability. This surgical approach emphasizes precision and the preservation of healthy tissues, making it a valuable tool in orthopedic practice for managing a spectrum of knee joint disorders.
