What is arthroscopic knee surgery?

Arthroscopic surgery is used to diagnose and treat many different knee problems, and this significant advance in joint care allows for a rapid return to improved activity.

Knee arthroscopy may relieve the painful symptoms caused by many conditions that damage the cartilage surfaces and other soft tissues surrounding the joint.

While you’re under general anesthesia, Dr. Potts makes a few small incisions for the thin arthroscopic camera, as well as for the narrow surgical instruments. Your surgery and treatment plan will be tailored to your specific injury or condition.

Ultimately, knee surgery is a very individualized decision. Patients in Atlanta or Alpharetta, Georgia, can trust the expert diagnosis and recommendations they receive from Dr. Potts. Call to schedule a consultation or use the online booking tool.
