How does the doctor scope out scar tissue from total knee transplant?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
suction shaver: I am not sure if you meant a total knee replacement, very unusual to scope knee replacement knees but if need be to remove scar tissue: it is removed using a suction shaver instrument.

Arthroscopy: In some cases, fibrous tissue causing pain, catching, or stiffness after a total knee can be removed with arthroscopic techniques. This is done with a small scope and a motorized shaver or wand that is designed to remove tissue.
