This procedure uses a small camera called an endoscope inserted through tiny cuts in the knee to locate and remove damaged or loose cartilage. A doctor might recommend this if you have knee pain caused by torn or worn cartilage that's affecting your ability to move or function. During the procedure, your surgeon will look inside your knee joint and carefully remove the problematic cartilage pieces while leaving as much healthy cartilage as possible.
