Knee Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat various knee joint problems. In this technique, a small camera called an arthroscope is inserted into the knee through tiny incisions, allowing the surgeon to view and treat the joint without the need for large cuts. This advanced method ensures faster recovery, minimal pain, and excellent functional outcomes for patients suffering from knee injuries or chronic conditions.
Knee Arthroscopy is highly effective in managing a wide range of knee problems, including:
During the procedure, a tiny camera (arthroscope) is inserted into the knee joint through a small incision. The images are displayed on a screen, allowing the surgeon to accurately diagnose the issue. Specialized instruments are then used through additional small incisions to repair or remove damaged tissue. The surgery is typically performed under regional or general anesthesia and usually takes a short duration.
Recovery after knee arthroscopy is generally quick compared to traditional surgery. Most patients can start walking within a short period, depending on the procedure performed. Physiotherapy plays a crucial role in restoring strength, flexibility, and normal knee function. Patients can usually return to daily activities and sports much earlier with proper rehabilitation.
