Knee and shoulder arthroscopies


Arthroscopy means looking into a joint with a camera.


It allows the surgeon to examine the knee or shoulder joint and perform some operations without having to open the joint completely.

The surgeon can see on a screen what is wrong in the knee or shoulder and treat most abnormalities inside the joint e.g

  • Arthroscopic evaluation
  • Meniscus repair 
  • Excision of worn out inflamed tissue
  • Tendon and ligament reconstruction
