Knee Arthroscopy

Knee Arthroscopy


Due to a lot of assignment and SAT, it took a while to post this one. The surgery that I saw on January 21 was about knee. This little girl had knee muscle problem which made her uncomfortable walk or run. In other words, her knee muscle was too loose that it was moving easily. The doctor was trying to pull two strands of muscle to tightly hold the muscle which was loose. Since the nurse told me before going into the O.R. that this surgery was with arthroscopy, I was expecting to see the machine. However, there was no any machine but passionate doctor. I asked him why this happened to this little girl and he said he didn't know. He said, "I don't know why this happened but I know what I'm doing and How to fix it." His line was so impressing. I will never forget what he said about being a surgeon. I learned that you don't have to know the reason for injuries but you just need to know how to fix it and make that person's life better. Thanks to doctors' thorough explanations about the surgery, I again enjoyed the day and learned a lot of things.

This is how the surgery goes with the use of arthroscopy.
