Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure that helps diagnose and treat structural problems in your joints that lead to pain, instability, or other dysfunction. It uses a tool known as an arthroscope - a long, thin tube that transmits light and video. The arthroscope helps a surgeon to look inside your joint through a very small opening from where the minimally invasive surgery is performed.
Arthroscopy is a type of endoscopy, a procedure that uses a special type of scope to look inside a particular part of your body. All endoscopes are thin tubes that go through small holes. Some go into existing openings in your body, while others, like arthroscopes, go through a small incision. Surgeons make other small incisions, about the size of a dime, to operate through, using long, narrow tools.
Arthroscopy treats common conditions like cartilage tears, joint impingements, joint instability, ligament tears, nerve compression syndromes, and synovitis, which is the early stage of rheumatoid arthritis.

They may use a holding device to keep your joint in position.
It will be used to insert the arthroscope.
Filling the space with saline creates more room to operate in.
