Minimally invasive knee procedure to relieve pain, repair injuries, restore function, and ensure faster recovery safely.

Knee Arthroscopy

Knee Arthroscopy

Knee Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat various knee joint problems. It allows surgeons to visualize, repair, or remove damaged tissue using small incisions, resulting in faster recovery, reduced pain, and minimal scarring. Led by Dr. Nithin Kumar Bejjanki, the procedure is ideal for patients with meniscus tears, ligament injuries, cartilage damage, or persistent knee pain.

Knee Arthroscopy is recommended for patients experiencing:

  • Meniscus tears causing pain, swelling, or locking

  • Anterior or posterior cruciate ligament injuries (ACL/PCL)

  • Cartilage damage or degeneration

  • Loose bodies within the joint

  • Persistent knee pain, swelling, or stiffness

  • Mechanical symptoms like catching, clicking, or instability

The procedure helps relieve pain, restore function, and prevent further joint damage.

Knee Arthroscopy may involve:

  • Meniscus repair or partial meniscectomy

  • Ligament reconstruction (ACL, PCL)

  • Cartilage repair or microfracture techniques

  • Synovial tissue removal for inflammation

  • Debridement of loose bodies or damaged tissue

This minimally invasive approach is preferred over open surgery whenever feasible due to faster recovery and reduced complications.

  1. Preoperative Assessment: Clinical evaluation, imaging, and fitness check

  2. Anesthesia: General or regional anesthesia based on patient and procedure needs

  3. Surgical Procedure: Small incisions allow insertion of arthroscope and instruments for repair or removal

  4. Closure & Dressing: Tiny incisions are closed with sutures and bandaged

  5. Postoperative Care: Pain management, physiotherapy, and rehabilitation for optimal recovery

Patients typically experience less pain, quicker mobilization, and shorter hospital stay compared to traditional knee surgery.

Q1: How long does recovery take?
A: Most patients return to normal activities in 4–6 weeks, while sports-specific recovery may take 2–3 months.

Q2: Is Knee Arthroscopy painful?
A: Pain is usually mild and managed with medications and physiotherapy.

Q3: What are the advantages of arthroscopy?
A: Minimally invasive, less scarring, faster recovery, and precise treatment of knee injuries.

Q4: When can I start physiotherapy?
A: Immediately or within a few days post-surgery, depending on the procedure.

Q5: Will knee function fully return?
A: With proper rehab, most patients regain full mobility, strength, and activity level.

Knee Arthroscopy is a safe and effective procedure that allows athletes and patients to recover quickly, restore function, and resume active lifestyles.
