Understanding Knee Arthroscopy: A Minimally Invasive Knee Surgery
One of dr. Heppy’s areas of expertise is knee arthroscopy, a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed through small incisions instead of large open surgery.
In this procedure, the doctor uses a small instrument called an arthroscope (a tiny camera) inserted into the knee joint to visualize its internal condition. The images are displayed on a screen, allowing the doctor to perform precise treatment through additional small incisions.
Orthopedic specialists use knee arthroscopy to diagnose and treat a wide range of knee problems. This method helps identify the exact cause of knee pain more accurately and address it with minimal tissue damage. Because the incisions are small, recovery is generally faster compared to conventional knee surgery.
Some of the common conditions treated with knee arthroscopy include:
- Knee ligament injuries (such as ACL, PCL, MCL, or LCL)
- Meniscus tears (knee cartilage)
- Patellar dislocation or instability
- Knee arthritis, especially rheumatoid arthritis
