An arthroscopy doctor, also known as an arthroscopic surgeon, specializes in diagnosing and treating joint problems using a minimally invasive surgical technique called arthroscopy. This technique involves inserting a small camera (arthroscope) into the joint through a tiny incision, allowing the surgeon to view the inside of the joint on a screen and perform precise procedures without the need for large cuts. The main advantage of arthroscopy is that it reduces tissue damage, lowers the risk of infection, and significantly shortens recovery time compared to traditional open surgery. Patients typically experience less post-operative pain and can return to normal activities much sooner. This makes arthroscopy an ideal option for athletes and individuals with active lifestyles seeking faster, more efficient recovery.
