Knee Arthroscopic Washout Procedure

Small incisions are made around the knee cap and an arthroscope with a cannula is fed through the incisions. The cannula is filled with a saline solution that washes out debris around the knee joint. Arthroscopic washout of the knee is a video-assisted procedure which allows for maximum visualization, minimal scarring and a short recovery time.
