Knee Replacement Surgery - Dallas - Fort Worth, TX
Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure an orthopaedic surgeon performs using an arthroscope. An arthroscope is a lighted, camera-equipped, high tech surgical instrument that requires a very small incision and allows an orthopaedic surgeon to see inside your knee joint in fine detail. Arthroscopes also contain onboard surgical instruments that allow your orthopaedic specialist to perform delicate procedures with precision.
We use arthroscopy to diagnose and treat a wide range of knee problems. During a knee arthroscopy we insert an arthroscope with its small camera into your knee joint. Using the camera to display images from inside your knee joint on a video monitor, we guide the arthroscope’s miniature surgical instruments. The arthroscope and instruments are thin enough to allow very small incisions rather than the large incision necessary for traditional open surgery. Patients experience less pain, less joint stiffness and shorter recovery times plus a faster return to their daily activities.
