Understanding Knee Arthroscopy
Knee arthroscopy is a powerful diagnostic and therapeutic tool that allows us to visualize and treat knee problems through keyhole-sized incisions. Using a pencil-thin camera and specialized instruments, we can repair torn meniscus, reconstruct ligaments, remove loose bodies, and treat cartilage damage. Benefits include smaller incisions, less tissue trauma, reduced pain, and faster return to activities compared to open surgery.
Common Causes
Quick Recovery, Minimal Scarring
Arthroscopic surgery offers the precision of modern medicine with minimal invasiveness, getting you back to activities in weeks, not months.
Precise Diagnosis & Treatment
Direct visualization allows accurate diagnosis and targeted treatment of knee problems.
Faster Recovery
Small incisions mean less pain, reduced scarring, and quicker return to normal activities.
Same-Day Surgery
Most arthroscopic procedures are outpatient—go home the same day with minimal downtime.
Surgery Preparation
Simple preparation for your arthroscopic procedure.
2-3 Weeks Before Surgery
- Complete pre-operative imaging (MRI if needed)
- Meet with surgeon to review findings
- Stop anti-inflammatory medications as directed
- Arrange for ride home after surgery
- Plan for 1-2 days of rest post-procedure
Week Before Surgery
- Confirm surgery time and fasting instructions
- Obtain crutches if recommended
- Fill prescriptions for pain medication
- Prepare ice packs for post-operative swelling
- Wear comfortable, loose-fitting clothing
Day Before Surgery
- Follow fasting instructions (typically after midnight)
- Shower with antibacterial soap if provided
- Get good night's sleep
- Review post-operative care instructions
- Confirm transportation arrangements
Day of Surgery
- Arrive at surgery center on time

- Surgery typically takes 30-60 minutes
- Recover for 1-2 hours before discharge
- Begin ice, elevation, and gentle movement
