If you are living with pain in your knee, your consultant may recommend a knee arthroscopy to investigate or treat issues within the joint.
What is a knee arthroscopy?
An arthroscopy (also known as keyhole knee surgery) allows your surgeon to see inside your knee by using a thin tube with a camera that is inserted through small incisions in your skin, without the need to fully open the joint.
The consultant should also be able to treat some problems using surgical instruments during the same procedure, such as repairing or removing torn tissue and treating arthritic conditions.
