Knee Arthroscopy Surgery

What is Knee Arthroscopy ?

Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat issues inside the knee joint. It involves inserting a small camera, called an arthroscope, into the knee through tiny incisions. The camera displays images on a monitor, allowing the surgeon to view the knee’s interior in detail and perform necessary treatments using specialized surgical instruments.

Benefits of Knee Arthroscopy :

  • Minimally Invasive : Smaller incisions lead to less pain and quicker recovery.
  • Shorter Recovery Time : Most patients return to daily activities faster compared to open surgery.
  • Accurate Diagnosis : Direct visualization provides better clarity of joint problems.
  • Lower Risk: Reduced risk of complications like infections or extensive scarring.

Recovery and Post-Operative Care :

  • Recovery Time : Most patients recover within 4-6 weeks but may vary based on the complexity of the condition.
  • Rehabilitation : Physical therapy is crucial to restore strength and mobility.
  • Pain Management: Medications and ice packs help manage post-operative discomfort.
  • Activity Restrictions : Avoid strenuous activities until cleared by your doctor.

Treatment

Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat knee joint problems. A small camera, called an arthroscope, is inserted into the knee joint through tiny incisions. This allows the surgeon to view the joint on a screen and perform necessary procedures using small instruments.

Conditions Treated

  • Meniscus Tears
  • Ligament Injuries (e.g., ACL, PCL)
  • Cartilage Damage
  • Loose Bone or Cartilage Fragments
  • Inflammation or Swelling in the joint lining (synovitis)
  • Patella (Kneecap) Problems

Benefits

  • Minimally invasive with smaller incisions
  • Less pain and scarring
  • Faster recovery compared to traditional surgery
  • Reduced risk of complications

Procedure

  1. Preparation: The patient is placed under regional or general anesthesia.
  2. Incisions: Small incisions (portals) are made around the knee.
  3. Insertion of Arthroscope: The arthroscope is inserted to visualize the knee joint.
  4. Treatment: Specialized tools are used to repair or remove damaged tissues.
  5. Closure: The incisions are closed with sutures or steri-strips.

Recovery

  • Rest and Rehabilitation: Physical therapy is essential for regaining strength and mobility.
  • Return to Activities: Most patients can resume daily activities within a few weeks, but full recovery for sports may take 2-3 months.

Why Choose Arthroscopy ?
Knee arthroscopy is highly effective for both diagnosis and treatment, offering a quicker return to normal life with minimal discomfort.

Knee Arthroscopy Surgery

Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat problems within the knee joint using a small camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments.

Patients with knee pain due to conditions like meniscus tears, ligament injuries, cartilage damage, or inflammation may benefit from arthroscopy. Your surgeon will assess your condition to determine if it’s the right option.

The procedure typically takes 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the complexity of the condition being treated.

Knee arthroscopy can be performed under general, regional (spinal), or local anesthesia, depending on your surgeon’s recommendation and your preference.

Most patients recover within 4-6 weeks for daily activities. However, full recovery, especially for sports, may take 2-3 months with proper rehabilitation.
