Arthroscopy is a type of endoscopy. Display consists of a joint, such as knee, in order to observe the meniscus and the rest of its internal anatomy. This is achieved with the use of an arthroscope, similar to the endoscope instrument, shorter, and adapted in a way to be usable in a joint. There are two ways of arthroscopy: therapeutics and diagnostics.

Arthroscopy is to enter into a joint a small rigid tube, the arthroscope, connected to a camera that will allow the surgeon to visualize the region intraarticular on a monitor. The surgeon makes incisions to introduce other miniinstrumentos you will use: tweezers, scissors, strawberries. Among current operations may be sectioned or remove the meniscus, injured ligaments strengthen, reorganize the damaged cartilage or remove a foreign body. The procedure is rapid and the patient recovers quickly after twenty four hours of immobilization.
