Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat conditions affecting the knee joint. It involves inserting a small camera, called an arthroscope, into the knee through tiny incisions. This allows the surgeon to view the inside of the joint on a monitor and perform necessary repairs using specialized instruments.
Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to treat:
Meniscus tears – Trimming or repairing cartilage
Ligament injuries (ACL/PCL) – Repair or reconstruction
Cartilage damage – Smoothing or removing damaged tissue
Loose fragments – Removing bone or cartilage debris
Inflammation – Treating swollen joint lining (synovitis)
Kneecap issues – Correcting alignment problems
It offers less pain, quicker recovery, and smaller scars than open surgery. Most patients return to daily activities within a few weeks after their knee arthroscopy procedure.
Most patients go home the same day, though hospital stay may vary by procedure.
Light exercise usually begins within a few days, depending on the procedure and recovery progress.
Surgery typically takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the complexity of the procedure.
The Knee arthroscopy will typically starts within 2 weeks, with minimal waiting time for your procedure.
From diagnosis to recovery, experience expert-led care focused on faster healing and improved mobility.
Good candidates for knee arthroscopy are individuals who experience knee pain, swelling, or limited mobility due to conditions such as meniscal tears, cartilage damage, or ligament injuries. Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat these issues.
Recovery time after knee arthroscopy varies, but most patients can expect to resume normal activities within 4 to 6 weeks. Physical therapy and rehabilitation play a crucial role in speeding up the recovery process and ensuring a successful outcome.
To ensure the best outcome, follow your surgeon’s pre- and post-operative instructions carefully. Engage in prescribed physical therapy, maintain a healthy weight, avoid high-impact activities, and attend all follow-up appointments.
During knee arthroscopy, surgeons use small, specialized instruments, including an arthroscope (a small camera) and surgical tools, to diagnose and treat knee problems. These instruments allow for precise and minimally invasive procedures.
The cost of a knee arthroscopy procedure can vary widely depending on factors such as the complexity of the surgery and the surgeon’s expertise. On average, the cost ranges from £4,000 to £8,000 in the UK. Speak to your Patient Co-ordinator about finance options.
