Knee arthroscopic ligament repair is a minimally invasive technique that involves using a small camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments inserted through small incisions around the knee. This approach allows for precise visualization of the damaged ligament and surrounding structures without the need for large surgical openings.
During the procedure, Dr. Shevate carefully examines the ligament(s) in the knee that require repair, which may include the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), posterior cruciate ligament (PCL), medial collateral ligament (MCL), or lateral collateral ligament (LCL). Using advanced techniques and instruments, he meticulously reconstructs or repairs the damaged ligament(s), restoring stability and function to the knee.
