About this Procedure
Knee arthroscopy is keyhole surgery in which a surgeon uses a thin tube with a tiny camera (an arthroscope) to look inside the knee joint. MedlinePlus explains that two or three small cuts are made around the knee, the joint is filled with sterile fluid, and small instruments are passed through the other cuts to repair or remove the problem.
It may be recommended for a torn meniscus, a torn or damaged anterior or posterior cruciate ligament, an inflamed joint lining (synovium), a kneecap that is out of position, loose pieces of cartilage or bone that make the knee catch, some cartilage defects and some fractures. Symptoms that lead to arthroscopy include knee pain, swelling, locking or a feeling of instability.
The procedure can be done under local, spinal (regional) or general anaesthesia. The NHS says an arthroscopy can take 30 minutes to 3 hours depending on the type, and most people go home within a few hours. The AAOS notes that if you are generally healthy, knee arthroscopy is most likely an outpatient procedure, and many people return to most physical activities after 6 to 8 weeks unless a ligament reconstruction or repair was done.
