A closer look inside the joint

Arthroscopy is the examination of the interior of a joint by using an arthroscope or “scope” – a flexible, fiber-optic tube with a small camera that is connected to a monitor. This enables a surgeon to see a magnified view of your joint. Specially designed arthroscopic surgical tools are also used to perform different types of minimally invasive joint surgery.
