Chondroplasty is an option in cases of mild to moderate cartilage wear. During arthroscopy the loose cartilage flaps and debris within the knee are removed using an arthroscopic shaver. Great care is taken to avoid damaging normal cartilage.
Short Term Investments as Current Assets on the Balance Sheet. These are investments that a company plans to sell shortly or can be sold to provide cash. These short-term investments aren't as readily available as money in a checking account but they provide added cushion if some immediate need were to arise.
Long-term investments, often referred to simply as investments, normally consist of one of four types: 1. Investment in securities, such as bonds, common stock or long-term notes. 2. Investment in tangible fixed assets not currently used in operations, such as land held for speculation. 3. Investments set aside in special funds such as sinking fund, pension fund or plant expansion fund.
