Arthroscopy is a keyhole surgery that uses a small camera and specialised tools to address conditions such as torn cartilage, ligament damage, or loose bone fragments in the knee.

What Is It?

This procedure allows surgeons to visualise, diagnose, and treat knee conditions using small incisions, reducing recovery time compared to open surgery.

Symptoms Treated

• Pain caused by torn cartilage or ligaments.
• Swelling due to loose bone or cartilage fragments.
• Joint stiffness or locking.

Postoperative Care

• Rest and application of ice to reduce swelling.
• Gradual physiotherapy to restore function.
• Pain management with medications.

Risks and Complications

• Infection or bleeding at the incision site.
• Stiffness or swelling in the knee.
• Potential damage to nearby structures.
