I think this procedure is called 'arthroscopy'.



Google have a lot of information about it.



I apologise if I'm wrong and good luck to your Mum.

My wife had an Arthroscopy done for a damaged cartilage following a skiing accident. I'm not sure that they caryy out this procedure for Arthritic knees. Like Jean I could be wrong.

I was offered this treatment before I had my knee replacements, my own GP advised against it saying it doesn't always work. I had two knee replacements within 11 months and I have a new lease of life.
