It is an \u201copen\u201d (not purely arthroscopic) way to look at and work on the joint surface and surrounding structures. It is commonly used during certain knee surgeries, especially when the surgeon needs direct visualization of the tibial plateau (top of the shinbone). It may also be used to assess and address associated meniscal injury during other knee procedures."}
