Knee arthroscopy offers significant benefits, such as:

• Pain relief
• Restoration of knee function
• Efficient rehabilitation
• Quick return to daily activities and sports

Knee arthroscopy is recommended for conditions such as:

• Meniscal injuries: May require suturing or partial removal of degenerated tissue.
• Ligament instability: May require suturing (internal bracing) or reconstructive procedures using autografts or allografts.
• Articular cartilage damage: May require debridement, covering with special membranes, or cartilage-bone grafts.
• Presence of loose bodies: Often require removal.

Symptoms indicating the need for surgery include pain and difficulty moving, which, when addressed, restore mobility.

The clinic offers a range of arthroscopic procedures, including meniscal repair and anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) repair with internal bracing reinforcement. These treatments are designed to correct defects caused by injuries or degenerative conditions.

The surgery, performed under spinal anesthesia, typically takes about one hour. It involves inserting an endoscope through millimeter-sized incisions into the knee joint. After visualizing the knee’s condition, the orthopedic surgeon uses micro-instruments to perform therapeutic actions. Post-surgery, patients stay in the clinic for a short period and follow a personalized rehabilitation plan.

Recovery involves managing swelling and pain, with rehabilitation starting soon after the procedure. The rehabilitation plan, tailored to improve mobility and strength, helps patients regain full activity within approximately two months, provided they adhere to the recommended program. Cold therapy and physical therapy are recommended to reduce postoperative swelling and alleviate pain.
