Arthroscopy is the examination of joints using a rigid telescope in order to achieve a minimally invasive approach.

 
   

Arthroscopy is an essential part of human orthopedic surgery and many people are exploring the same options for their pets. Arthroscopy allows improved visualization of joint surfaces, despite the use of smaller incisions.



We are happy to offer a full range of arthroscopic procedures at VSES, which complement or replace traditional orthopedic surgical techniques.
