Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive orthopaedic procedure used to diagnose and treat problems inside a joint. During the procedure, an orthopaedic surgeon inserts a thin instrument called an arthroscope through a small incision. The arthroscope contains a high-resolution camera and light source that allows the surgeon to clearly view the structures inside the joint on a monitor.Because the procedure uses very small incisions, arthroscopy causes less tissue damage compared with traditional open surgery. Patients usually experience less pain, faster recovery, and improved joint function after treatment.At Mangal Anand Hospital in Chembur, arthroscopy surgery is commonly performed to treat knee injuries, shoulder injuries, ligament tears, and cartilage damage. The procedure helps patients return to daily activities, sports, and work with better mobility and reduced joint pain.
