FIGURE. THE VIEW DOWN THE ARTHROSCOPE.
Most meniscal lesions can now be removed via the arthroscope (an arthroscopic meniscectomy), although
some require a small opening to be made in the joint (arthrotomy). The principal advantage of arthroscopic
meniscectomy is that most patients recover from it quickly (within days). Open meniscectomy has a much
longer period of rehabilitation.
