Summary

The provider examines the inside of the knee joint with an arthroscope to inspect and repair the membrane between the bony surfaces and the joint capsule. She inserts instruments and excises synovial tissue that has become inflamed or damaged, causing the patient pain and limitation of motion. She removes the synovium from two or more compartments in the knee, including the medial or lateral compartments, or both, in a major synovectomy procedure.
