Question 19 • Sports Medicine 1b

Thomas is having arthroscopic surgery. What is MOST likely true about his procedure?

Answer
A
It will be performed with micro-instruments.
B
It will require large incisions.
C
It will leave a large scar.
D
It will require the doctor to break one of his bones.

Explanation

Arthroscopic surgery is a minimally invasive procedure in which a surgeon views and operates inside a joint through small openings. The surgeon uses a tiny camera and micro-instruments, so large incisions and large scars are unlikely. Breaking a bone is not a usual requirement of arthroscopic surgery.
