Arthroscopy
Definition
A modern and minimally invasive surgical procedure used for the direct visual examination, diagnosis, and treatment of conditions within a joint, performed by inserting an arthroscope through millimeter-sized incisions. This advanced technique considerably reduces trauma to periarticular soft tissues, limits bleeding risks, and significantly shortens the patient's postoperative functional recovery period compared to classic open surgeries.
