Arthroscopic knee surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat a range of knee problems, including torn meniscus, cartilage damage, and loose bone or cartilage fragments. Using a small camera and instruments inserted through tiny incisions, surgeons can address joint issues with minimal tissue disruption and faster recovery than open surgery.
Arthroscopic surgery is recommended when knee pain, swelling, or mechanical symptoms such as locking or catching persist despite rest, physiotherapy, or medication, and when imaging shows a treatable structural issue such as a meniscus tear.
