This is a surgical procedure of joint in which an inspection and sometimes treatment of damage or injury is performed via an arthroscope. During this procedure, a small incision is made and an endoscope is inserted into the joint. This procedure can be performed to treat or evaluate several orthopedic conditions, such as meniscus (torn cartilage), trimming damaged cartilage, ACL reconstruction and articular (torn surface cartilage).
The major advantage of arthroscopic procedures is that the joint does not have to be opened up completely, unlike traditional open surgery. The GPC Medical provides premium quality surgical instruments for arthroscopy.
