Arthroscopic meniscectomy is a modern procedure that is used in treating meniscal tears in the knee. This procedure involves the use of an arthroscope which is a thin long tube with an attached camera. This device is inserted through small incisions over the knee to access the meniscus. The arthroscope has an attached camera that provides a live view of the knee joint during the procedure. It along with other surgical instruments is employed for trimming and removing the torn parts of the meniscus. The procedure is less invasive, and as a result, causes less post-operative, less scarring, and results in a quicker recovery compared to an open surgery.
