What Is Knee Arthroscopy

Advanced Knee Scope Diagnosis & Treatment

Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that allows orthopedic surgeons to visualize, diagnose, and treat knee joint problems through small incisions. Using a tiny camera called an arthroscope, Dr. Feghhi can examine the interior of your knee without major surgery.

During the knee scope procedure, a miniature camera is inserted through a small portal (about 5mm), projecting high-definition images onto a monitor. This enables precise diagnosis and treatment of various knee conditions including meniscus tears, ACL injuries, cartilage damage, and loose fragments.

Smaller incisions (5mm) vs. open surgery

Less post-operative pain and stiffness

Lower risk of infection and complications

Faster return to daily activities and sports

Knee Problems Treated With Arthroscopy

Dr. Feghhi uses knee arthroscopy to diagnose and treat a wide range of knee injuries and conditions. This minimally invasive technique is ideal for both diagnostic purposes and surgical intervention.

Meniscus Tear

Tears in the rubbery cartilage (meniscus) that cushion the knee joint. Treatment may involve repair or partial meniscectomy depending on tear type and location.

Learn More

ACL Tear

Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injuries common in athletes. Arthroscopy allows for precise ACL reconstruction using graft tissue.

Learn More

Patellar Tendonitis

Inflammation of the patellar tendon (jumper's knee). Arthroscopic debridement can remove damaged tissue and promote healing.

Loose Bodies

Small fragments of bone or cartilage that float in the joint, causing pain and catching. Easily removed through arthroscopy.

Synovitis

Inflammation of the synovial lining causing pain and swelling. Arthroscopic biopsy and treatment can provide relief.

Cartilage Damage

Arthroscopic assessment and treatment of articular cartilage injuries, including microfracture and repair procedures.

The Procedure

What to Expect During Your Knee Arthroscopy

Preparation

You'll receive anesthesia (typically regional or general). Dr. Feghhi will make 2-3 small portals (5mm each) around your knee to access the joint.

Visualization

The arthroscope is inserted, transmitting high-definition images to a monitor. Dr. Feghhi thoroughly examines all structures including meniscus, ligaments, and cartilage.

Treatment

Using specialized instruments through additional small portals, Dr. Feghhi performs the necessary repair - meniscus repair, debridement, or other procedures.

Closure

Portals are closed with steri-strips or small sutures. A sterile dressing is applied, and you'll begin recovery with our expert team.
