Types of Knee Arthroscopy Procedures

Dr.S.Arumugam and his team are the epitome of expertise in knee care, leveraging years of experience and advanced equipment to deliver unmatched results.

A meniscus tear is a common knee injury where the cartilage between the thigh bone and shin bone gets damaged due to twisting or impact.

Meniscus tears are common in athletes and active individuals, especially those involved in twisting or pivoting sports like football, basketball, or tennis. Older adults may also suffer meniscus injuries due to age-related degeneration.

Step-by-Step Arthroscopy Knee Surgery Process

Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat knee problems. Instead of large cuts, the surgeon makes small incisions and inserts a thin camera called an arthroscope into the joint.

This camera shows detailed images on a screen, allowing the surgeon to see inside the knee and use tiny instruments to repair or remove damaged tissue.

Because it's a keyhole surgery, recovery is quicker, scars are smaller, and the risk of complications is lower than with traditional open surgery.

1

Anaesthesia

Surgery is usually done under regional or general anaesthesia.

2

Small Incision

Surgeons make small cuts around your knee.

3

Insertion of Arthroscope

The arthroscope is used to project a clear view of the inside of your knee joint.

4

Surgical Instruments

Miniature tools repair torn ligaments, trim cartilage, or remove loose bodies.

5

Closure

The small incisions are stitched, bandaged, and recovery begins.
