Introduction
Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical technique used to diagnose and treat joint problems through tiny incisions using an arthroscope — a small camera that provides a clear, magnified view inside the joint.
It is widely used for knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, wrist, and elbow injuries, offering faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring compared to traditional open surgery.
