Arthroscopy (also called arthroscopic surgery) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which an examination and sometimes treatment of damage of the interior of a joint is performed using an arthroscope, a type of endoscope that is inserted into the joint through a small incision.
Arthroscopic procedures can be performed either to evaluate or to treat many orthopedic conditions including torn floating cartilage, torn surface cartilage, ACL reconstruction, and trimming damaged cartilage in different joints.
Knee pain is a common complaint in everyone’s life at certain point of time, and there could be several reasons for the knee pain. It may be due to tear in cartilage, ligament or ligament or the onset and effects of arthritis. Treatment varies depending on the cause of the knee from conservative nonsurgical care to minimally invasive knee surgery and knee replacements.
A knee arthroscopy is a procedure that involves making two or three small incisions, or portals, usually in front of the knee. A small arthroscope (three to five millimeters in diameter) inserted into the knee allowing the surgeon to see and operate inside the joint.
Knee arthroscopy is usually carried out under a general anesthesia, either as a day case or in some instances as an overnight stay in hospital.

The foot has 26 bones and more than 30 joints and it’s really tough to find the cause for foot and ankle pains. Ligaments (Tough bands of tissue) hold these together. The muscles, tendons, and ligaments work together with the many joints of the foot to control motion.
When an ankle problem fails to respond to physiotherapy, medication or other non-surgical treatments, an ankle arthroscopy is performed. An arthroscopy can be both
diagnostic, where a diagnosis can be made to find out what is wrong with the ankle joint, and therapeutic, where correction of the injury or problem is made within the ankle joint.
Two or three puncture wounds are made around the ankle and an arthroscope is inserted through these wounds to allow the surgeon to see and operate inside the joint. Both soft tissue and bone can be operated on.
