Arthroscopic Knee Surgery: A Minimally Invasive Solution
Arthroscopy allows us to examine and treat knee problems through small incisions using a camera (arthroscope). It reduces scarring, shortens hospital stay and speeds up rehabilitation compared to open surgery.
What is Arthroscopic Knee Surgery?
During arthroscopy we insert a tiny camera into the joint to view, diagnose, and fix problems. Repairs are performed using specialized instruments through additional small incisions.
Common Conditions Treated
- Torn meniscus (repair or removal)
- ACL/PCL ligament injuries β reconstruction
- Knee arthritis and cartilage smoothing
- Removal of loose fragments in the joint
- Synovitis and inflammatory conditions
Benefits of Arthroscopic Knee Surgery
- Minimally invasive with smaller scars and lower complication rates
- Faster recovery and earlier return to activities
- Outpatient or short-stay procedure for many patients
- Precise repairs with image-guided tools
What to Expect During the Procedure
- Preparation: Pre-op tests and anesthesia
- Incisions: Small portals are made for scope and instruments
- Repair: Surgeon inspects and treats the injured tissue
- Closure: Incisions are closed with sutures or adhesive strips
Recovery & Rehabilitation
Most patients return to light activities within 1β3 weeks; full recovery may take 6β12 weeks depending on the procedure and patient factors. A structured physiotherapy plan is essential for best outcomes.
