  • What is knee arthroscopy?

    Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure performed to diagnose and treat knee joint injury and other similar issues. During arthroscopy surgery, the surgeon makes 2-3 tiny incisions over the knee joint to insert an arthroscope and surgical instruments. 

    The arthroscope has a camera and light attached to it and helps the surgeon visualize internal structures to avoid soft tissue damage. Since the surgery involves minimal incisions, it usually promises a shorter and easier recovery period compared to open surgery.

    Types of knee arthroscopy

      • Meniscus surgery: Meniscus surgery is performed for a torn meniscus and involves a variety of techniques such as meniscus repair, meniscectomy, and meniscus reconstruction. 
      • ACL reconstruction: ACL reconstruction surgery is performed for a tear in the ACL ligament. The ACL is one of the most significant parts of the knee anatomy and is responsible for joint stabilization.  
      • Lateral release or patella realignment surgery: Lateral release procedure is performed to treat kneecap dislocation.
    • Microfracture: Microfracture procedure is performed to stimulate the growth of cartilage to replace damaged tissue.
    • Cartilage transfer/OATS: During cartilage transfer surgery, healthy cartilage from other parts of the body is shifted to damaged parts of the joint to improve joint movement.

    How to prepare for knee arthroscopy?

    If you are undergoing arthroscopic surgery, you should undergo the following preparatory steps before the surgery:

    What happens during knee arthroscopy?

    Before the surgery, the orthopedic surgeon will perform a thorough diagnosis. Diagnosis before knee arthroscopy entails physical examination, along with imaging tests like X-rays, shoulder CT scan, MRI, etc. 

    On the day of the surgery, the surgeon may also perform a blood panel, chest x-ray, electrocardiogram, etc., to assess your vital signs and make sure you can safely undergo the surgery. Following this, the anesthesia will be administered and you will be moved to the operation theater for the surgery. Knee arthroscopy can be performed under general, regional, or local anesthesia.

    The surgeon will make a few tiny incisions, called portals, over the knee joint to fill the joint with a sterile solution to improve visibility. Then an arthroscope is inserted to visualize the internal structures. Finally, with the help of the arthroscope, the surgeon will insert the surgical instruments and perform the surgery. After the surgery, the incisions will be closed and bandaged.

    The surgery usually lasts less than an hour and then the patient is moved to a recovery room for post-surgery observation to ensure there are no postoperative complications.

    What to expect after knee arthroscopy?

    Knee arthroscopy can be performed as either a daycare procedure or require overnight hospitalization, depending on the patient’s health, type of surgery, etc. After the surgery, you may have mild pain and discomfort, that is usually manageable through over-the-counter medications and physiotherapy. During recovery, keep the incisions clean and dry.

    After the discharge you should have someone drive you home. Keep your operated leg elevated and massage it with an ice pack to relieve postoperative swelling. You will be advised to start walking with support on the day of the surgery. 

    Perform your physiotherapy diligently and follow all your physiotherapist’s instructions. You can return to work and perform light activities within 6-8 weeks, but you should wait longer before performing heavy exercises and other strenuous activities. Do not overwork yourself as it can delay the recovery instead of benefitting it.

    Another factor you should consider while recovering from knee arthroscopy is your diet. Make sure you are well hydrated and follow a healthy diet. This will boost your immune system and help your overall recovery.

    What are the benefits of knee arthroscopy?

    Knee arthroscopy is extremely safe and very effective in providing the patient relief from their pain without a long recovery period. Compared to conventional/open knee surgery, there are many benefits of knee arthroscopy, such as:

    What are the risks associated with knee arthroscopy?

    Knee arthroscopy is generally very safe and chances of complications is incredibly low, however, in rare cases, there is risk of certain complications like:

    Frequently Asked Questions about Knee Arthroscopy

    Is knee arthroscopy covered under insurance?

    Knee arthroscopy is usually covered by most insurance policies, including pre and post-hospitalization cost, as it is only performed in cases where it is medically necessary.



    What is the success rate of knee arthroscopy?

    The success rate of knee arthroscopy is more than 90% in completely restoring the patient’s joint mobility and providing long-term pain relief.



    Which is better - knee arthroscopy or knee replacement?

    Knee arthroscopy is a more conservative procedure and is usually performed in patients where repair is possible, but knee replacement is performed for more severe cases, where the patient has more extensive damage to the knee joint that can’t be repaired.



    How long will I be off work after a knee arthroscopy?

    You can get back to desk work or school 3 to 5 days after surgery especially if it involves sedentary work only. 



    Will I be able to climb stairs after knee arthroscopy?

    Yes, in fact, most patients can start walking and climbing stairs using crutches the day after the surgery. As long as you follow your surgeon’s instructions, you will be able to climb stairs with support within 4-6 weeks.
