Diagnostic Knee Arthroscopy and Partial Meniscectomy

Knee arthroscopy is the most commonly performed orthopaedic procedure in the United States. Indications have grown exponentially since the procedure was first popularized by Watanabe and Jackson. Treatment of meniscal tears is the most common reason for knee arthroscopy, with approximately 700,000 arthroscopic partial meniscectomies performed annually. Other indications include assistance for cruciate ligament reconstruction, osteochondral lesions, removal of loose bodies, synovectomy, and septic arthritis. Arthroscopy is accomplished with the use of two small incisions on either side of the patella at the anterior aspect of the knee. An arthroscope is inserted through one incision and used to view the image on a monitor, while the second incision is employed for instrumentation.
