An arthroscopy is an examination of the internal structures of a joint.  An illuminated scope, called an arthroscope is inserted into the joint through a small incision. Arthroscopies are performed in some cases to diagnose a problem and in others during minimally invasive arthroscopic surgeries.

At the Orlando Orthopaedic Center our fellowship trained joint specialists use arthroscopic technology to both diagnose and operate on patients in need of knee repair and other orthopedic procedures.  If you or a loved one are in need of knee pain treatment, look no further then the joint experts at the Orlando Orthopaedic Center.

There are several treatment options for those suffering from pain and/or immobility of the knee.  Physical therapy, viscosupplementation, support braces and anti-inflammatory medications often prove to be effective forms of knee pain treatment.  In other cases knee surgery is necessary in order to repair damage resulting from injury, degeneration and/or aging.
