Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure. Arthroscopy is used to diagnose and treat a range of knee injuries. The surgeon makes a small incision and inserts through it a narrow tube attached to a fiber-optic video camera. The view inside the joint is transmitted to a high-definition video monitor in the operating room. Minimally invasive procedures require smaller incisions than traditional surgery.
