Diagnostic Knee Arthroscopy

Sometimes the exact cause of knee pain is not clear even after X-rays and MRI. Diagnostic arthroscopy lets the surgeon look directly inside the joint through a tiny camera – and in most cases treat the problem in the same sitting.

Useful for

• Unexplained knee pain or swelling
• Loose bodies in the knee
• Cartilage injuries
• Synovitis (inflamed joint lining)

Benefits

Small incisions, minimal scarring, less pain and a short hospital stay compared to open surgery.

Recovery

Most patients walk the same or next day and return to daily activities within a short time, depending on what was treated.
