What is Knee Arthroscopy Surgery?
Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure in which a surgeon uses a small camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments through tiny incisions to diagnose and treat problems inside the knee joint. It is commonly performed to repair torn meniscus, reconstruct ligaments like the ACL, remove loose cartilage fragments, or treat mild osteoarthritis-related damage. Compared to open surgery, it offers smaller scars, less pain, and faster recovery.
Who may be considered?
Knee Arthroscopy Surgery may be considered after a qualified specialist reviews your reports and medical history. Suitability varies from person to person and must be assessed by your treating doctor.
How does it work?
Used to inspect the joint, remove loose bodies, smooth damaged cartilage, or trim minor meniscal tears with quick recovery.

Recovery and follow-up
Most patients can walk with support within a day or two after surgery, with full weight-bearing and return to daily activities in 2-6 weeks depending on the complexity of the procedure; ligament reconstruction requires a structured physiotherapy program over 3-6 months for full sports return.
Risks
As with any surgery, risks include infection, blood clots, stiffness, graft failure (in ligament reconstruction), and rare nerve or vessel injury, though complication rates are low with arthroscopic techniques.
Alternatives
Depending on severity, alternatives may include conservative management with physiotherapy, bracing, and anti-inflammatory medication, intra-articular injections (corticosteroid or PRP), or in advanced arthritis cases, partial or total knee replacement.
