During Arthroscopic Knee Surgery

A Step-by-Step Guide to the Procedure

Introduction to Arthroscopic Knee Surgery

Arthroscopic knee surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat knee problems such as:

✔ Meniscus tears
✔ Ligament injuries (ACL, PCL)
✔ Cartilage damage
✔ Loose bone fragments

The procedure is performed using a tiny camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments inserted through small incisions. This technique offers faster recovery, less pain, and minimal scarring compared to open surgery.

Key Benefits of Arthroscopic Knee Surgery

  • Minimally invasive
  • Faster recovery
  • Less pain & swelling
  • Quicker return to activities

Step-by-Step Process of Arthroscopic Knee Surgery

Anesthesia Administration
  • Local Anesthesia – Numbs only the knee area while you're awake.
  • Spinal Anesthesia – Numbs the lower body while you're awake.
  • General Anesthesia – Puts you to sleep during the procedure.
Making Small Incisions & Inserting the Arthroscope
  • The surgeon makes two to three tiny incisions around the knee.
  • A sterile fluid is injected to expand the joint for better visibility.
  • A small camera (arthroscope) is inserted, sending high-definition images to a monitor.
Diagnosis & Treatment
  • Trim or repair torn meniscus
  • Remove damaged cartilage or bone fragments
  • Reconstruct ligaments (ACL, PCL repairs)
  • Smooth rough cartilage surfaces
Closing the Incisions & Bandaging
  • After completing the procedure, the surgical tools are removed.
  • The incisions are closed with sutures or sterile strips.
  • A compression bandage is applied to reduce swelling and protect the knee.
