About Knee Arthroscopy
Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat various knee conditions. It involves the use of a small camera called an arthroscope to view the inside of the knee joint. This allows surgeons to address issues such as torn meniscus, ligament injuries, and damaged cartilage with precision.
Common conditions treated with knee arthroscopy include:
Damage to the meniscus, a cartilage cushion in the knee, can cause pain and limit movement. Arthroscopy can repair or remove torn portions.
The anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) is crucial for knee stability. Arthroscopy can reconstruct or repair a torn ACL.
Damaged cartilage can lead to pain and arthritis. Arthroscopy allows for the removal of loose fragments and smoothing of rough surfaces.
Inflammation of the knee’s synovial lining can be treated by removing inflamed tissue through arthroscopy.
Symptoms indicating the need for knee arthroscopy can include:
Chronic pain that does not respond to conservative treatments like rest, physical therapy, or medications.
Recurrent swelling and stiffness in the knee joint that limits your range of motion.
The sensation of the knee catching or locking during movement, indicating possible structural damage.
Feeling of the knee giving way or being unstable, often associated with ligament injuries.

Benefits of Knee Arthroscopy Surgery
Knee arthroscopy offers numerous advantages, helping you return to an active lifestyle. Here’s how it can benefit you:
The primary benefit is pain relief. By addressing the underlying issue, knee arthroscopy can significantly reduce or eliminate knee pain.
Post-surgery, you’ll likely experience improved knee function and a greater range of motion, enabling you to move more freely.
The procedure can restore normal joint mechanics, allowing you to engage in daily activities and sports without limitations.
As a minimally invasive procedure, arthroscopy involves smaller incisions, leading to faster recovery times and less scarring.
Knee Arthroscopy Procedure
Our experienced surgeons employ advanced arthroscopic techniques to treat knee problems effectively. Here’s a simplified breakdown of the procedure:
You will receive regional or general anesthesia to ensure you are comfortable during the procedure.
The surgeon will make small incisions around the knee to insert the arthroscope and surgical instruments.
The arthroscope transmits images to a monitor, guiding the surgeon in diagnosing and treating the knee issue.
After addressing the problem, the surgeon will close the incisions with sutures or surgical tape.
Knee Arthroscopy Recovery
Recovery from knee arthroscopy is generally swift and straightforward. Our team will provide you with detailed post-operative instructions to ensure a smooth recovery. Here’s what you can expect:
Mild discomfort or soreness post-surgery can be managed with prescribed pain medications.
Your knee will be bandaged to protect the surgical site. Keeping the area dry and clean is essential.
Rehabilitation exercises may be recommended to restore strength and flexibility to the knee joint.
Most patients can resume light activities within a few days. Gradual return to normal routines and exercise will be guided by your surgeon.
