<unk>  (also called<unk> c surgery) is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which an examination and sometimes treatment of damage of the interior of a joint is performed using an<unk> , a type of endoscope that is inserted into the joint through a small incision.<unk> c procedures can be performed either to evaluate or to treat many orthopaedic conditions including torn floating cartilage, torn surface cartilage, ACL reconstruction, and trimming damaged cartilage.
The advantage of<unk>  over traditional, open surgery is that the joint does not have to be opened up fully. Instead, only two small incisions are made - one for the<unk>  and one for the surgical instruments. This reduces recovery time and may increase the rate of surgical success due to less trauma to the connective tissue. It is especially useful for professional athletes, who frequently injure knee joints and require fast healing time. There is also less scarring, because of the smaller incisions.
The surgical instruments used are smaller than traditional instruments. Surgeons view the joint area on a video monitor, and can diagnose and repair torn joint tissue, such as ligaments and menisci.<unk>  is used for joints of the knee, shoulder, elbow, wrist, ankle and hip.
