Why Arthroscopic Surgery Is Needed

Used to diagnose and treat a wide range of joint problems, including torn cartilage or ligaments, loose bone or cartilage fragments, and joint inflammation, most commonly in the knee, shoulder, hip, ankle, wrist, and elbow. It's recommended when imaging and clinical exam suggest an internal joint problem that needs direct visualization or repair beyond what conservative treatment can achieve.

Signs You May Need Arthroscopic Surgery

Persistent joint pain, swelling, clicking or locking sensations, reduced range of motion, and instability or a feeling the joint might give way are common indications. Symptoms that don't improve with rest, physiotherapy, or medication over several weeks often prompt referral for arthroscopy.

Types of Arthroscopic Surgery

Diagnostic arthroscopy is used purely to visualize and assess joint damage, while operative arthroscopy allows the surgeon to repair or remove damaged tissue, such as meniscus repair, ligament reconstruction, or removal of loose bodies, through the same small incisions. It can be performed on almost any major joint, with technique details varying by joint and specific pathology.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is arthroscopy a major surgery?

It's minimally invasive compared to open joint surgery, with small incisions, less pain, and a faster recovery, though it's still a real surgical procedure with its own risks.

How soon can I walk or move the joint after arthroscopy?

Many patients can walk with support the same day or next day, though full activity depends on what was repaired during the procedure.

Will I need physiotherapy afterward?

Yes, physiotherapy is usually recommended to restore strength and range of motion, especially after ligament or cartilage repairs.

What are the risks?

Risks are generally low and include infection, stiffness, and blood clots, though serious complications are uncommon.

How long until I can return to sports?

This varies widely from a couple of weeks for simple procedures to several months for major ligament reconstruction, so follow your surgeon's specific timeline.
