A member asked:
What are the conditions that can be treated by arthroscopy? can arthritis be treated with arthroscopy? which joints can be treated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Damage: Arthroscopy is usually done to repair damage to the joint. It can be done on most joints except hands and feet. Arthritis is not really treatable with arthroscopy. Some surgeons will suggest knee arthroscopy to clean out the joint but the results of this have not been impressive.
