Diagnostic arthroscopy allows orthopedic surgeons to view the inside of a joint without making large incisions. Using a thin, fiber-optic instrument called an arthroscope, the surgeon can detect joint damage, inflammation, or abnormalities. It's commonly used for the knee, shoulder, hip, and ankle joints.

Key Points:

• Minimally invasive

• Quick recovery time

• Accurate joint diagnosis

• Performed under local or general anesthesia
