Knee Arthroscopy
Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat knee pain, injuries and joint problems through small incisions. Using a tiny camera and precision instruments, surgeons can address problems like meniscus tears and cartilage injuries. At Summit Orthopaedics in Idaho Falls, knee arthroscopy is performed by board-certified, fellowship-trained surgeon Dr. Logan Cooper.
Conditions Treated With Knee Arthroscopy
- Meniscus tears
- Cartilage injuries
- Other knee injuries and joint problems
Benefits and Limitations
Benefits can include smaller incisions, less soft-tissue disruption and targeted treatment. Arthroscopy is not right for every condition. Advanced arthritis is usually better treated with total knee replacement or partial knee replacement. Learn more about minimally invasive surgery.
What to Expect
Many patients go home the same day and start guided rehab within days, with progressive milestones over the following weeks. Watch Arthroscopy: The Tech Shift Transforming Hips, Knees and Shoulders.
