Precision Care for Your Knee Health

Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat a wide range of knee problems. Using a small camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments, this advanced technique allows our surgeons at COSM to target specific injuries or conditions within the knee joint, ensuring quicker recovery, smaller scars, and less discomfort compared to traditional open surgery.

When Do You Need Arthroscopic Surgery?

You may benefit from knee arthroscopy if you experience:

• Persistent knee pain or swelling
• Limited range of motion
• Meniscus tears or ligament injuries (e.g., ACL, PCL)
• Cartilage damage or loose fragments inside the joint
• Inflammatory conditions such as synovitis

Our orthopedic specialists will carefully evaluate your symptoms and may recommend arthroscopy when conservative treatments fail to provide relief.

The Arthroscopic Procedure

• Small incisions are made around the knee.
• An arthroscope is inserted to visualize the joint in detail.
• Specialized tools are used to repair or remove damaged tissue.
• The incisions are closed with minimal scarring.

Most procedures are performed as day-case surgeries, allowing patients to go home within a few hours.

Recovery After Arthroscopic Surgery

Recovery is generally much faster than open knee surgery.

• Initial Days:The knee is filled with local anesthetic; sterile adhesive dressings and a padded bandage are applied. Swelling and pain are managed with rest, ice, and medications. Outer dressings are removed after 48 hours; adhesive dressings remain for at least a week.
• 2–6 Weeks:Patients are usually referred to physiotherapy. Most need only 2–3 sessions within the first 3–4 weeks. A majority recover fully between 4–6 weeks.
• 3+ Months:Return to sports and strenuous activities.
• Follow-up:Regular follow-up visits ensure proper healing and progress.

Our surgeons at COSM provide a personalized rehabilitation plan tailored to each patient’s needs and lifestyle.
