Patients offered knee arthroscopy usually suffer from mechanical symptoms such as locking, giving way or instability. Pain alone is not usually a sufficient reason. Underlying conditions such as meniscal tears, loose fragments, arthritis or ligament injuries may be responsible.
The recovery period for a knee arthroscopy depends on various factors including your age, fitness level prior to your surgery and surgical procedure performed. Most patients can go home the same day, but occasionally need to stay overnight.
