Knee Arthroscopy Package

Knee Arthroscopy Package

Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to examine and treat problems inside the knee joint. It involves inserting a small camera, called an arthroscope, through a small incision to view the joint. Depending on the condition, the surgeon may perform treatment during the same procedure.

When Is Knee Arthroscopy Recommended?

A knee arthroscopy may be considered for certain meniscus tears, ligament injuries, cartilage damage, loose fragments, or other conditions affecting the knee joint. Your orthopaedic specialist will assess your symptoms, physical examination, and imaging results to determine whether arthroscopy is appropriate.

How Is the Procedure Performed?

The procedure is performed using anaesthesia selected according to your medical needs. Small incisions are made around the knee to introduce the arthroscope and surgical instruments. The surgeon examines the joint and performs the planned treatment. The specific procedure and duration vary depending on the underlying condition.

Recovery After Knee Arthroscopy

Recovery depends on the type of treatment performed and your overall health. Some patients may begin gentle movement soon after surgery, while others may require a structured rehabilitation programme. Physiotherapy after knee arthroscopy can help restore strength, flexibility, and movement when recommended by your surgeon.

Benefits of Knee Arthroscopy

Arthroscopy allows the surgeon to directly visualize the inside of the knee and treat selected joint problems through small incisions. It may help address pain, restricted movement, or mechanical symptoms caused by specific knee conditions.
