Arthroscopy is a surgery that muscle specialists use to visualize and treat problems inside a joint. The word arthroscopy comes from two Greek words, arthro (joint) and skopein (to look). The term literally means "to look inside a joint". In an arthroscopic medical procedure, a muscle specialist creates a small entry point in the patient's skin, then inserts pencil-sized instruments that contain a small focal point and a light frame to amplify and illuminate the patterns inside the joint. The light is transmitted through fiber optics to the farthest limit of the arthroscope, which is embedded in the joint. By attaching the arthroscope to a miniature camera, the specialist can see the inside of the joint through this small entry point instead of the larger incision required for open surgery. Your bones, ligaments, tendons, muscles and ligaments can be damaged in any way by infection and injury. To analyze your condition, your PCP will take a thorough clinical history, perform a physical evaluation, and request imaging studies—generally x-rays. In some circumstances, an additional imaging study – such as an attractive echo imaging (MRI) scan or an electronic tomography (CT) scan – may also be required. After making the decision, your PCP will decide on the most appropriate treatment decision for your condition.
