Who Needs Knee Arthroscopy Surgery?
- A person with torn cartilage (the meniscus—that usually acts as a cushion between the knee and the bones).Â
- For torn or damaged anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) and posterior cruciate ligament.Â
- The inner lining of the joint (synovium) is swollen.Â
- When the knee is filled with fluids or baker’s cyst.Â
- The patella of the knee is misaligned.Â
- Small, tiny pieces of the broken cartilage are stuck inside the knee.Â
- Any fracture in the knee bone or defective cartilage.Â
Types of Knee Arthroscopy Surgery
- Diagnostic Arthroscopy: The knee joint is examined for any damage to the knee area or leg abnormalities. Â
- Meniscectomy: Excavates damaged portions from the knee cartilage.Â
- Meniscus Repair: As the name suggests, mend the damaged portions of the knee cartilage with either sutures or other techniques.Â
- Synovectomy: Removes the inflamed part of the tissue attached to the inner lining of the knee.
- Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) Reconstruction: This reconstruction is performed by grafting some parts of the tissue from other parts of the patient’s body or donors to replace a torn ACL.Â
- Patella Realignment Surgery: It provides stability to the knee as it is performed to prevent any future destabilization of the kneecap.Â
Factors Affecting the Cost of Knee Arthroscopy Surgery

- The complexity of the knee condition.Â

- Diagnostic tests and consultation charges.Â
- Medication charges.Â
- Insurance and policy coverage.Â
How is Arthroscopy Knee Surgery Performed?
In this procedure, the orthopaedic surgeon sterilizes the leg and stabilizes it on a harness to avoid unnecessary movements and then makes a few tiny incisions to insert the arthroscope from one and the surgical tools from another. Once all the appliances are inserted in the bones, a fluid is induced for joint inflation to provide visual accessibility through arthroscopy. The arthroscope takes images from the inside of the knee in an operating room and displays them on the screen, thus aiding in diagnosing the condition and guiding the instruments for the treatment. This is followed by the anchor formation stitched to the muscles to keep the bone cartilage in place with the help of instruments, therefore aiding in regaining knee mobility and its normal functions.Â
Benefits of Arthroscopic Knee Surgery

Post-Surgical Care and RecoveryÂ
- Use a cane or crutches for a week or two to alleviate the strain on your joints.Â
- Avoid sports and any heavy-duty work until and around 4–8 weeks to re-establish normal joint fluid post-surgery.Â
- Pain, swelling, and coordinated body movements will improve over the next 3-4 months.Â
- Place the treated leg slightly above more often or a couple of days.Â
- Try warming up your knee joint by flexing it regularly for 15-20 minutes.Â
- Apply an ice pack to the treated area to reduce swelling and discomfort.Â
- Perform special strengthening exercises.Â
