Knee Arthroscopic indication:
An arthroscopy is a surgical procedure that orthopaedic surgeons use to visualize, diagnose and treat problems inside a joint. Since this technique became available in the 1970's, thousands of patients have preferred it over other types of surgery because the scars are smaller, the hospital stay is shorter and recovery is faster.

Diagnosing joint injuries and disease begins with a thorough medical history and physical examination. Sometimes X-rays and laboratory tests are required to help diagnose the problem. Further diagnosis using arthroscopy may be required because it gives a precise, direct view of the affected bones and soft tissues (including the ligaments and cartilage).
Disease and injuries can damage bones, cartilage, ligaments, muscles and tendons. Some of the most frequent conditions found during diagnostic arthroscopic examination of the joints are:

• torn or abnormal cartilage
• torn ligaments
• loose fragments of bone or cartilage
• damage joint surfaces
• inflammation of joint lining
• meniscal injuries
• misaligned bones ( such as the kneecap).
Even though the inside of most joints can be viewed with the arthroscope , only a few joints are frequently examined with this procedure. The knee is by far, the most common joint examined. Others include the shoulder, ankle, hip and wrist. As advances are made by engineers in electronic technology and new surgical techniques are developed by orthopaedic surgeons, other joints may be viewed and treated with arthroscopy in the future.

01. Recurrent subluxation / dislocation of the shoulder
02. Frozen shoulder
03. Rotator cuff impingement
04. Rotator cuff tear
05. Calcifying tendonitis
06. Acromioclavicular joint arthritis
07. Labral tears
08. SLAP lesions
