Your bones, cartilage, ligaments, muscles, and tendons can all be damaged by disease and injury. To diagnose your condition, your doctor will take a thorough medical history, perform a physical examination, and order imaging studies usually x-rays. For some conditions, an additional imaging study such as a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan or a computerized tomography (CT) scan may also be needed. After making a diagnosis, your doctor will determine the most appropriate treatment choice for your condition. In arthroscopic surgery, an orthopedic surgeon makes a small incision in the patient's skin, then inserts pencil-sized instruments that contain a small lens and lighting system to magnify and illuminate the structures inside the joint. Light is transmitted through fiber optics to the end of the arthroscope that is inserted into the joint.
