What happens? They stick a scope into the joint, run water into the joint as well, and through a second hole, they can shave down ugly cartilage, pull out torn pieces, and that sort of thing.
You will be asleep or have a spinal, so you feel nothing.
The ortho guy may or may not suggest it. MRIs have limitations, so there may be stuff in there that the MRI can't detect.

I wouldn't say anything is definitive that you need a scope...but if you did, it would depend on the type of procedure you had. Having a "scope" could mean anything from taking a look around, to "cleaning up" the mensicus or an arthroscopic ligament repair. Arhtroscopy is just the method by which they do it....
