Arthroscopy of the knee joint
Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure for the diagnosis and treatment of injuries and diseases of the knee joint. It allows examining the joint for damage and eliminating the identified defects.
This procedure is necessary in cases of meniscus damage, cysts, ligament injuries, inflammation of the synovial membrane, cartilage damage, deforming arthrosis, rheumatoid arthritis and intraarticular fractures.
The knee joint is constantly under heavy stress, so many people wear out by the age of 45-50. Joint wear leads to chronic knee pain, and knee arthroscopy is becoming the most effective treatment method. Arthroscopy helps to reduce pain, improve joint function and improve the quality of life of patients. During the operation, the surgeon uses an arthroscope, a special device with a camera at the end. Through it, the doctor sees the joint and instruments inserted through other small punctures in multiple magnification on the screen. This allows him to accurately perform the necessary manipulations.
