Overview

Arthroscopic knee surgery is a modern orthopedic procedure in which a small camera called an arthroscope is inserted into the knee joint through tiny incisions. The camera allows the surgeon to view the inside of the joint on a screen and perform surgical repairs using specialized instruments without making large incisions.

Recovery & Outlook

Arthroscopic knee surgery helps restore joint function and relieve pain caused by internal knee injuries. Because the procedure uses small incisions, healing is usually quicker and less painful. Physiotherapy helps strengthen the knee and improve mobility after surgery. Most patients can return to sports and daily activities after recovery. Proper exercise and joint care help maintain long-term knee health.
