The word "arthroscopy" comes from the Greek words "arthros" (joint) and "scopos" (to look).

In today's terms, it is a surgical procedure which allows surgeons to view the inside of joints and the spaces surrounding them in order to detect and treat damaged tissue.

The arthroscope allows the surgeon to see the injury and treat it using resecting instruments.

Arthroscopy requires only small incisions, patients recover more quickly and with less post-operative pain than with open surgery.  In nearly all cases, patients are able to return home the same day as their procedure is performed.

Arthroscopic surgery is an advanced surgical procedure offering less risk to patients and remarkable results.
