Arthroscopy – A surgical technique that involves making a
small incision in the skin over the joint. A small lighted tube
(arthroscope) with a camera is inserted through this incision.
It takes images of the inside of the joint and projects them
onto a television screen. While the arthroscope is inside the
knee joint, the surgeon may insert surgical tools through
additional small incisions to remove loose pieces of bone or
cartilage or to repair torn ligaments or menisci.
