Arthroscopy surgery of the knee is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat various knee conditions, including ligament tears such as the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), and meniscus tears. During the procedure, a small camera, called an arthroscope, is inserted into the knee joint through small incisions, allowing the surgeon to visualize the interior of the knee on a monitor.

For ligament tears, arthroscopy may involve repairing or reconstructing the damaged ligament using sutures or grafts. Meniscus tears can be treated by trimming the torn portion or repairing it using specialized instruments.

Arthroscopy offers several advantages over traditional open surgery, including smaller incisions, less tissue damage, faster recovery, and reduced postoperative pain. Recovery from arthroscopy surgery typically involves physical therapy to strengthen the knee and improve range of motion. Overall, arthroscopy is an effective and minimally invasive approach for diagnosing and treating ligament and meniscus tears in the knee.
