Knee Arthroscopy Surgery
Knee arthroscopy surgery is performed to repair a torn meniscus or remove the damaged meniscal fragment in cases of meniscus tears. It can also be used for anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair or cartilage restoration.
How Is Knee Arthroscopy Performed?
Through two small incisions in the knee joint, a camera and surgical instruments are inserted to treat meniscus tears and cartilage damage within the joint.
What Are the Advantages of Knee Arthroscopy?
Since it is a minimally invasive procedure, the patient can be mobilized and start walking the next day. The hospital stay typically lasts 1–2 days.
Postoperative Process After Knee Arthroscopy
If the torn meniscus is removed, the patient can bear weight the next day. If a meniscus repair is performed, weight-bearing usually begins after 3 weeks, and physical therapy may be required for up to 6 weeks.

Frequently Asked Questions
Knee Arthroscopy: Details and Recovery Process
Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure performed to diagnose and treat problems occurring within the knee joint. This procedure is carried out using an arthroscope (a small camera) and surgical instruments inserted into the joint through small incisions. Knee arthroscopy is commonly used to treat various knee conditions such as meniscus tears, ligament injuries, cartilage damage, and joint inflammation.
How Is Knee Arthroscopy Performed?
The procedure is usually performed under general or regional anesthesia. The surgeon makes small incisions in the knee and inserts the arthroscope through one of them. The arthroscope provides a detailed view of the inside of the knee joint, guiding the surgeon during the operation. Surgical instruments are inserted through the other incisions to perform the necessary repair or cleaning procedures. The operation typically takes between 30 minutes and 1 hour.
Postoperative Recovery Process
The recovery process after knee arthroscopy varies depending on the type of procedure performed and the patient’s overall health. After the surgery, patients can usually return home within a few hours. During the first few days, swelling and pain in the knee may occur. In this period, applying cold compresses and keeping the leg elevated can be beneficial.
Benefits of Knee Arthroscopy
Knee arthroscopy has many advantages compared to open surgery. Due to small incisions, scarring is minimal and the recovery process is faster. Additionally, the risk of infection and complications is lower. Postoperative pain is generally less, and patients can return to their daily activities more quickly.
