The Bones And Muscles – Arthroscopy
	Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which a physical examination of the interior of a joint is performed using an Arthroscope, through a small 5 mm incision. Arthroscopy may be recommended for these knee problems: A torn meniscus. Meniscus is cartilage that cushions the space between the bones in the knee. Surgery is done to repair or remove it. A torn or damaged anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) or posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) Inflamed or damaged lining of the joint. This lining is called the synovium. Misalignment of the kneecap (patella). Misalignment puts the kneecap out of position Removal of small pieces of broken cartilage in the knee joint Removal of Baker's cyst - a swelling behind the knee that is filled with fluid Sometimes this occurs   when there is inflammation (soreness and pain) from other causes, like arthritis. Some fractures of the bones of the knee. Open surgery of the joint is avoided, reducing recovery time considerably. Arthroscopy is very beneficial for sportsmen whose joints and elbows suffer a great amount of wear and tear. It is equally beneficial for the common man with conditions like Frozen Shoulder and injuries resulting from improper exercise or severe sprains and injuries leading to ligament tears.
