Arthroscopic Knee Ligament Surgeries

Your knee is the largest joint in your body and one of the most complex. The bones that make up the knee include the lower end of the femur (thighbone), the upper end of the tibia (shinbone), and the patella (kneecap).

Knee arthroscopy is recommended if you have a painful condition that does not respond to nonsurgical treatment. Nonsurgical treatment includes rest, physical therapy, and medications or injections that can reduce inflammation.

Knee arthroscopy may relieve painful symptoms of many problems that damage the cartilage surfaces and other soft tissues surrounding the joint.

Common arthroscopic procedures for the knee include:

• Removal or repair of a torn meniscus
• Reconstruction of a torn anterior cruciate ligament
• Removal of inflamed synovial tissue
• Trimming of damaged articular cartilage
• Removal of loose fragments of bone or cartilage
• Treatment of patella (kneecap) problems
• Knee sepsis (infection)
