Arthroscopy is an advanced keyhole surgical procedure in which a tiny camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments are inserted through small incisions around the knee. It allows surgeons to accurately diagnose and treat ligament injuries with minimal tissue damage. ACL reconstruction is commonly performed arthroscopically using a tendon graft, followed by structured rehabilitation. When Is Arthroscopic Ligament Surgery Needed?
