What is arthroscopic knee surgery?

Knee arthroscopy or arthroscopic knee surgery is a procedure that utilizes minimally-invasive surgical techniques to access your knee joint. An arthroscope is a fiber-optic video camera that magnifies and illuminates the structures inside the joint. This provides an extraordinarily detailed view of the entire joint.

Small instruments are introduced through a second small incision to repair or reconstruct any injured structure. Knee arthroscopy is a minimally-invasive but comprehensive method of treating knee injuries. Dr. Dare, a Raleigh-based orthopedic surgeon, offers arthroscopic knee surgery to address a wide range of sports-related injuries and conditions.

What does arthroscopic knee surgery involve?
