What is a Knee Arthroscopy?
A knee arthroscopy is a surgical treatment that is used to diagnose and treat any issues in the knee joint using a tiny camera called an arthroscope. This orthopedic surgery can be used to:
- Reconstruct a torn ACL
- Trim damaged articular cartilage
- Treat patella problems
- Treat knee infection (sepsis)
- Remove loose fragments of bone or cartilage
- Remove or repair a torn meniscus
- Plica syndrome
- Transfer cartillage
How Will a Surgeon Perform the Knee Arthroscopy?
- A few small incisions will be made in your knee joint.
- A sterile solution will be injected into the joint to rinse away any cloudy fluid to give your doctor a clear view of the structures in your knee.
- Your doctor will diagnose the issue.
- If surgical intervention is required, tiny instruments will be inserted through different incisions and any damage/injury will be repaired.
How long does the procedure take? Most arthroscopic knee surgeries take less than 60 minutes and they are done on an outpatient basis, meaning you’ll get to go home the same day.
Benefits of Arthroscopic Knee Surgery
Arthroscopy has revolutionized the way orthopedic surgeons diagnose and treat joint issues. It has many benefits for the patient, including:
- Lower risk of complications. Arthroscopy involves tiny incisions instead of large cuts, minimizing your chances of complications or infections.
- Less post-operative pain. No muscles or tendons have to be cut to repair the joint, meaning that the pain will be much less following the procedure. This also means that the recovery period is faster.
- Less scarring. The minimally invasive nature of arthroscopic surgery means that any scarring will be kept to a minimum.
