Arthroscopy knee surgery in India is recommended after a thorough clinical examination and imaging tests such as MRI or X-ray. It is usually considered when conservative treatments like physiotherapy, medications, or injections have not provided adequate relief. The decision to proceed with arthroscopy knee surgery is based on confirmed structural damage and persistent mechanical symptoms.
Dr. S. Arumugam may advise arthroscopy knee surgery in the following conditions:
Meniscal tear causing locking or catching
ACL injury requiring reconstruction for instability
Selected PCL injuries
Symptomatic cartilage defects confirmed on imaging
Loose bone or cartilage fragments inside the knee joint
Chronic synovitis not responding to non-surgical treatment
Early osteoarthritis with mechanical symptoms (not routine arthritis pain)
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.
Arthroscopy knee surgery in Chennai is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat internal knee joint problems. During arthroscopy knee surgery, small incisions are made instead of large cuts, allowing the surgeon to insert a thin camera called an arthroscope into the joint. This provides a clear, magnified view of the knee structures on a monitor.
Because arthroscopy knee surgery is a keyhole procedure, it typically results in smaller scars, less soft tissue damage, reduced post-operative pain, and faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
1
Anaesthesia
Arthroscopy knee surgery is usually performed under regional (spinal) or general anaesthesia, depending on the patient’s condition and medical assessment.
2
Small Incisions
Two or three small incisions are made around the knee to allow entry of the arthroscope and surgical instruments.
3
Insertion of Arthroscope
The arthroscope is inserted into the knee joint, transmitting high-definition images that help identify meniscal tears, ligament injuries, cartilage damage, or loose bodies.
4
Surgical Repair
Miniature surgical instruments are used to trim or repair a torn meniscus, reconstruct ligaments such as the ACL, smooth damaged cartilage, or remove loose fragments inside the joint.
5
Closure
After completing the arthroscopy knee surgery procedure, the instruments are removed, the small incisions are closed with sutures, and a sterile dressing is applied. Recovery and rehabilitation begin shortly after.
Arthroscopic knee surgery is performed under regional or general anaesthesia, so you will not feel pain during the procedure. Mild swelling and discomfort after arthroscopic knee surgery are common and are usually controlled with medication and ice therapy.
Arthroscopy knee surgery in India is a minimally invasive, keyhole procedure used to accurately diagnose and treat meniscal tears, ligament injuries, cartilage damage, and other internal knee joint problems. Compared to traditional open surgery, arthroscopic knee surgery typically results in...
If you are experiencing persistent knee pain, instability, swelling, or mechanical symptoms such as locking, early evaluation can prevent further joint damage. Schedule a consultation today to understand whether arthroscopic knee surgery is the right treatment option for your condition.
