01What is arthroscopy?

Arthroscopy — often called keyhole surgery — is a procedure apt for diagnosing and treating joint problems. The surgeon inserts a narrow tube through a small keyhole incision, connected to a fiber-optic video camera. The instrument's small lens and lighting system give a clear view inside the joint.

02What it treats

Arthroscopy is performed on the knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, wrist and elbow — to diagnose and treat:

  • Torn meniscus — the cartilage cushion of the knee
  • Damaged or worn joint cartilage
  • Torn or unstable ligaments
  • Inflamed joint linings
  • Loose fragments of bone or cartilage within the joint
  • Scarring and stiffness inside the joint

03Common indications by joint

Some of the most common reasons arthroscopy is recommended:

  • Knee — meniscus tears, cartilage damage and ligament (ACL) injuries
  • Shoulder — rotator cuff tears, labral tears and impingement
  • Ankle — cartilage injuries, impingement and loose bodies

04After the surgery

Your doctor or therapist will guide recovery with a simple protocol:

05Recovery protocol

  • Medication — to heal quickly and relieve pain.
  • Protection — temporary slings or crutches keep the operated joint still.
  • Exercise — simple prescribed movements strengthen muscles for a quick recovery.
  • RICE — rest, ice, compression and elevation to relieve the joint and reduce swelling.

06Frequently asked questions

Arthroscopy is performed on the knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, wrist and elbow. Through a small keyhole incision, a fibre-optic camera lets the surgeon diagnose and treat problems inside the joint with minimal disruption to surrounding tissue.

Yes. Arthroscopy is commonly used to repair or trim a torn meniscus, treat damaged cartilage, address torn ligaments, remove loose fragments and clear inflamed joint lining — restoring smooth, pain-free movement.

Recovery is generally faster than open surgery. Your doctor or therapist will guide a simple protocol — medication for comfort, temporary protection of the joint, prescribed strengthening exercises, and RICE (rest, ice, compression and elevation) to reduce swelling.
