What is Knee Arthroscopy?

Knee arthroscopy is a procedure in which a small camera called an arthroscope is inserted into the knee joint through tiny incisions. This allows the surgeon to view, diagnose, and treat internal knee problems without making a large cut. It is commonly performed for both diagnostic and therapeutic purposes and offers less post-operative pain compared to open surgery.

causes

Knee arthroscopy is used to treat several joint-related problems, including:

  • Meniscus tear (cartilage injury)
  • Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) or posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) injury
  • Damaged or loose cartilage fragments
  • Synovial tissue inflammation
  • Patellar (kneecap) misalignment or instability
  • Removal of bone spurs or cysts
  • Early stages of osteoarthritis
  • Knee infections or joint lavage

You may need to consult an orthopedic specialist if you experience:

  • Persistent knee pain and stiffness
  • Swelling that does not subside with rest or medication
  • Locking, catching, or giving-way sensation in the knee
  • Limited mobility or difficulty bending the knee
  • Recurrent fluid collection in the joint

Medical diagnosis procedure

Diagnosis and Preoperative Evaluation

Before performing arthroscopy, the doctor conducts:

  • Physical examination: To assess joint stability, alignment, and pain points
  • X-rays: To evaluate bone structure and joint space
  • MRI scan: To visualize soft tissues, ligaments, and cartilage injuries

Blood tests and medical assessment: To ensure the patient is fit for anesthesia and surgery

Knee Arthroscopy Procedure

  • The surgery is usually performed under regional or general anesthesia. 
  • Small incisions (about 1 cm each) are made around the knee. 
  • The arthroscope and fine surgical instruments are inserted through these incisions. 
  • The surgeon visualizes the knee interior on a monitor and performs the necessary procedure — such as repairing a torn meniscus, removing loose fragments, or reconstructing a ligament. 
  • After the repair, the incisions are closed with sutures or adhesive strips, and the knee is bandaged. 

The entire procedure usually takes 30–60 minutes, depending on the complexity.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

Is knee arthroscopy painful?

The procedure is performed under anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during surgery. Mild discomfort after surgery can be managed with medications.

How long does it take to recover from knee arthroscopy?

Most patients resume light activities within 1–2 weeks, and full recovery occurs within 2–3 months depending on the procedure.

Can knee arthroscopy cure arthritis?

While arthroscopy can help relieve symptoms of early arthritis, it cannot reverse advanced joint degeneration. In severe cases, knee replacement may be recommended.

Will I need physiotherapy after knee arthroscopy?

Yes, physiotherapy is essential for strengthening the joint and restoring full movement after surgery.

What are the risks associated with knee arthroscopy?

Though rare, potential risks include infection, blood clots, or stiffness. These can be minimized with proper care and follow-up.
