Arthroscopic Knee Surgery: A Minimally Invasive Solution

Arthroscopic knee surgery is a cutting-edge, minimally invasive procedure designed to diagnose and treat various knee joint issues. Using a small camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments, this technique allows surgeons to address problems with precision while minimizing recovery time.

What is Arthroscopic Knee Surgery?

Arthroscopic knee surgery involves inserting a tiny camera into the knee joint through a small incision. The camera displays detailed images of the joint, enabling the surgeon to accurately diagnose the condition and perform necessary repairs, all through additional small incisions.

This approach is commonly used to treat:

  • Torn Meniscus: Repair or removal of damaged cartilage.
  • Ligament Injuries: Reconstruction of ligaments like the ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament).
  • Knee Arthritis: Smoothing or removal of damaged cartilage for pain relief.
  • Loose Bodies: Removal of fragments of bone or cartilage in the joint.
  • Synovitis: Treatment of inflamed synovial tissue.

Benefits of Arthroscopic Knee Surgery

  • Minimally Invasive: Small incisions reduce scarring and risk of complications.
  • Faster Recovery: Patients experience less pain and quicker return to daily activities.
  • Precision and Accuracy: High-definition imaging ensures accurate diagnosis and treatment.
  • Outpatient Procedure: Many arthroscopic surgeries are performed as day surgeries.

What to Expect During the Procedure

  1. Preparation: The patient is given anesthesia, and the knee is cleaned and sterilized.
  2. Incisions: Small incisions are made to insert the arthroscope and surgical tools.
  3. Diagnosis & Treatment: The surgeon examines the joint and performs the required repair.
  4. Closure: Incisions are closed with sutures or surgical tape.

The entire procedure typically takes 30 minutes to 2 hours, depending on the complexity of the condition.

Recovery and Rehabilitation

  • Recovery Time: Most patients return to light activities within 1-3 weeks, while full recovery may take 6-12 weeks.
  • Rehabilitation: Physical therapy plays a crucial role in restoring strength, flexibility, and mobility.
  • Post-Surgery Care: Patients are advised to follow a recovery plan, including icing, elevation, and prescribed exercises.
