Arthroscopic surgery is a very commonly requested procedure for people who have joint problems such as pain, swelling or instability. This procedure basically involves looking inside a joint with the help of a device known as an arthroscope. This type of surgery is also called keyhole surgery because it requires a tiny incision in the skin that rarely exceeds 1 cm in length. This sort of operation is very easy to recover from and also has fewer side effects.
Arthroscopic surgery is usually done on knees and shoulders because they are large joints and therefore very easy to operate upon. Knees tend to have cartilage problems whereas shoulders usually have rotator cuff tears. This procedure is also used when the joint space is inflamed because small bits of bone or cartilage that have broken off into it. However, improvements in technology have ensured that this surgery is increasingly done on a wide range of joints such as elbows, hips, ankles and wrists which are usually very difficult to operate on.
