Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that allows the Coastal Empire Orthopedic Surgeon to see, diagnose, and treat joint and soft tissue injuries. The surgeon makes a small incision and brings small instruments containing a special camera and light source to the affected area. The camera enlarges the treated area and projects the image of the affected area onto a large screen. For example, if you have a knee injury, the surgeon can see the ligaments, tendons, and cartilage under and around the entire patella and can repair the damage in one operation. You will have minor injuries compared to larger ones. In some cases, a day or two after surgery, you can remove the dressings and close the incisions with small sterile strips with glue around them. On the other hand, open surgery is for larger wounds that require more care and more doctor visits.
