Minimally Invasive Knee Arthroscopy

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.

What Is Knee Arthroscopy Used For?

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.

frequently asked questions

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.
