Arthroscopy for other knee ailments

What are other knee conditions that may require arthroscopic surgery?
- Recurrent patellar dislocation (MPFL reconstruction) MPFL-Medial patello-femoral ligament
- Acute patellar dislocation – to either fix or remove loose osteo-chondral fragments
- Patellar chondromalacia – softening of cartilage which lines knee cap
- Osteochondritis Dissecans – bone under cartilage has poor blood supply, hence gets separated forming loose bodies, which can then block knee movement.
- Cartilage restorative procedures
  - Autologous chondrocyte implantation(ACI)
  - Mosaicplasty
  - OATS (Osteochondral autograft transfer system)
