Explanation

"Arthroscopy" refers to a procedure that doctors use to look inside a joint. They do this by inserting a small camera, called an arthroscope, into the joint. This allows them to view the joint on a screen and diagnose or treat any issues. This procedure is less invasive than traditional surgery, which means it usually involves less pain and a shorter recovery time.
