What is knee arthroscopy?

It is an orthopedic procedure in which, laparoscopically, that is, through a camera, it is possible to reach inside the complexity of a knee.

"We make an incision of one centimeter, on one side, we insert a camera and right at the knee joint we make another incision of one centimeter also in order to insert some special equipment that we use to work on the knee," explained Dr. Orlando Daly, a specialist in Orthopedics and Traumatology.

It is an ambulatory surgery, very safe, which is performed in the operating room, with spinal sedation. It is an extremely fast procedure.

When the meniscus, ligaments, cartilage, etc. are damaged, it can be repaired by arthroscopy. "In the case of menisci we can do sutures. With ligaments we can repair them in their entirety with a graft from the patient, and we remove the torn ones," added the specialist.
