Frequently Asked Questions
What is knee arthroscopy and why is it performed?
Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat various knee joint problems, including
Meniscus Tear: Tears of the meniscus, the cartilage that cushions the knee joint, can cause pain, swelling, and limited range of motion.
Anterior cruciate ligament or posterior cruciate ligament rupture: Injuries to the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) or posterior cruciate ligament (PCL) can lead to instability and weakness of the knee joint.
Synovitis: Inflammation of the synovial membrane of the knee joint can cause pain, swelling, and stiffness.
Knee arthroscopy allows the surgeon to visualize the inside of the knee joint and make any necessary repairs or corrections, often resulting in a faster recovery and less postoperative pain than traditional open surgery.
What are the benefits of knee arthroscopy?
Here are some of the benefits of knee arthroscopy:
Minimally Invasive: Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that requires only small incisions, resulting in less tissue damage, scarring, and postoperative pain compared to traditional open surgery.
Faster recovery: Patients who undergo knee arthroscopy typically recover more quickly and return to normal activities sooner than those who undergo open surgery.
Diagnostic Capabilities: In addition to treatment, knee arthroscopy allows the surgeon to visualize the internal structures of the knee joint and accurately diagnose any underlying problems.
How is knee arthroscopy performed?
During knee arthroscopy:
Anesthesia: The patient is placed under general or regional anesthesia to ensure comfort and control pain during the procedure.
Incisions: Small incisions are made around the knee joint, through which the arthroscope and surgical instruments are inserted.
Visualization: The arthroscope is inserted into the knee joint, allowing the surgeon to view internal structures, such as ligaments, cartilage, and synovial tissue, on a screen.
Treatment: Surgical instruments are used to repair or remove damaged tissue, for example to repair torn ligaments, trim or repair torn menisci, remove loose cartilage or bone fragments, or treat inflamed synovial tissue.
What is the recovery process after knee arthroscopy?
The recovery process after knee arthroscopy varies depending on the procedure performed and the patient’s personal situation. However, as a general rule:
Physical Therapy: Physical therapy exercises and rehabilitation are essential to restore strength, flexibility and range of motion to the knee joint and improve overall function.
Gradual return to activities: Patients typically begin with light exercises and activities, as tolerated, and gradually increase the intensity and duration of exercises under the supervision of their surgeon or physical therapist.
