The knee is systematically evaluated using the arthroscope and the nature of the problem is clarified. Treatment for the problem is then accomplished at that time. If the meniscal tear can be repaired, small stitches are placed from inside the knee out and then a small incision is made at the joint line to allow tying the knots. If the tear is not repairable, the minimal amount of meniscus possible is removed so that a smooth, stable surface remains. Occasionally other types of problems are found at the time of arthroscopy such as cartilage damage or fragments of bone or cartilage. These can also be treated at that time. The patient does not feel any pain during the surgery. Photographs are often taken of the inside of the knee during the procedure, and a copy is made for the patient for subsequent review.
