About This Procedure:
This minor knee surgery often is done to ease knee pain, swelling, and the knee locking-up. An arthroscope, a tube with a camera and light, is used to view the knee joint: the cartilage tissue which cushions the bones and the ligament tissue that connects bone to bone. The scope is passed into the body through cuts in the knee and the scope's surgical tools are used to remove or repair damaged knee tissue.
The price for this cartilage repair varies a lot as it can be done in a number of outpatient settings – like an outpatient center or a hospital outpatient department. Alternatives to minor knee surgery include exercise and weight loss, physical therapy, medication, and pain relief injections.
