Arthroscopy Instruments
Arthroscopy is a procedure that involves a fiberoptic endoscope to see the
interior of joints. It is used to diagnose various joint diseases, injuries
or deformities to perform surgery on the joint. The surgery is performed
using arthroscopes implying minimum incisions.
Arthroscopic instruments include fiber-optic cameras and small surgical
instruments to visualize the intra-articular structures. The surgery
includes trimming of meniscal tears, removal of loose bodies, trimming of
articular cartilage flaps, debridement of scar tissue, and other
abnormalities. Arthroscope simplifies the diagnosis of the size, depth, and
condition of these articular cartilage lesions.
