The Operation

Knee arthroscopy is normally performed as a day case. This means that you will be discharged the same day the procedure is performed.About 2 to 3 small incisions are performed in the knee to insert the arthroscope into your knee joint. Saline (sterile salt water) is pumped into your knee to “wash out” any debris and to improve the visibility.

After the Operation

For the first couple of days, rest and take things easy. It is important to keep moving though as this will help the knee recover and reduce your chances of getting complications. This will keep the pain at bay and ease the swelling. Simple painkillers and ice packs can be used. Once swelling subsides and you feel comfortable, you can gradually increase your activities.

Return to Activity

You can return to routine activities within 2 to 3 weeks after the knee arthroscopy. Recovery depends on a lot of factors. These include the extent of damage in the knee, the surgery performed, your fitness levels in general among others.

Risks

Like is the case with any surgery, knee arthroscopy has its own risks. However, serious complications are very rare. Complications can include blood clots, infection and blood accumulation in the knee.
