Arthroscopy may be carried out and damage to any internal structures repaired or trimmed. An arthroscope is a small camera that is placed into the knee joint through the anterolateral or anteromedial aspect of the knee joint. The joint is filled with a saline solution and the telescope is manipulated around the knee joint to assess the cruciate ligaments, menisci, and cartilaginous surfaces.
