    Your surgeon may recommend knee arthroscopy surgery if you have a painful condition that does not respond to nonsurgical treatment. Nonsurgical treatment includes rest, physical therapy, and medications or injections that can reduce inflammation. Knee arthroscopy surgery in Melbourne may relieve painful symptoms of many problems that damage the cartilage surfaces and other soft tissues surrounding the joint. Common arthroscopic procedures for the knee include, torn meniscus surgery or removal, reconstruction of a torn ligaments, removal of inflamed synovial tissue, trimming of damaged articular cartilage, removal of loose fragments of bone or cartilage, treatment of patella (kneecap) problems, or clearing/removal of tight bands/scar tissue.
