Knee Arthroscopy Surgery

What is Knee Arthroscopy?

Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a tiny camera (arthroscope) to diagnose and treat various knee conditions. This modern technique allows surgeons to view the knee joint on a high-definition screen through small incisions, enabling precise treatment with minimal tissue disruption. The procedure is particularly effective for treating sports injuries and degenerative conditions of the knee.

Advanced Surgical Techniques

Dr. Abhishek Saxena utilizes cutting-edge arthroscopic equipment and techniques to perform precise knee procedures through tiny incisions. Our advanced imaging systems provide crystal-clear visualization of the knee joint, allowing for accurate diagnosis and treatment. Most procedures are performed under regional anesthesia, and patients typically return home the same day.

Conditions Treated

• Meniscus tears and repairs
• ACL (Anterior Cruciate Ligament) injuries
• Cartilage damage and repairs
• Synovitis and inflammation
• Patella (kneecap) problems
• Loose bodies in the knee joint

Comprehensive Care Approach

Our knee arthroscopy program includes:

• Advanced MRI and diagnostic imaging
• Personalized surgical planning
• Sports-specific rehabilitation protocols
• Progressive physical therapy program
• Return-to-activity assessment

Recovery and Outcomes

Recovery from knee arthroscopy is typically faster than traditional open surgery. Most patients can bear weight on the operated leg within a few days and return to normal activities within 4-6 weeks. Athletes can usually return to sports between 1-3 months, depending on the procedure performed. Our success rates are excellent, with over 90% of patients reporting significant improvement in knee function and reduced pain following arthroscopic treatment.
