Arthroscopy for Sports Injuries and ACL Tears

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that can be used to diagnose and treat a variety of sports injuries and ACL tears. During arthroscopy, a small camera is inserted into the joint through a small incision. This allows the surgeon to view the inside of the joint and identify any damage. The surgeon can then use small instruments to repair or remove any damaged tissue. Arthroscopy is a common treatment for ACL tears. The ACL is a ligament that helps to stabilize the knee joint. When the ACL is torn, it can cause the knee to feel unstable and lead to pain and swelling. Arthroscopic ACL reconstruction is a surgery to replace the torn ACL ligament with a graft from another part of the body. Arthroscopy can also be used to treat other sports injuries, such as: Meniscus tears Cartilage damage Rotator cuff tears Shoulder impingement Bursitis Loose bodies in the joint Arthroscopy is a safe and effective procedure that is minimally invasive.
