Brief Idea about the procedure
After proper consultation with the doctor and on the basis of medical history, and investigations including MRI proper planning is done.
Anaesthesia is given which may be General, Spinal or Local depending upon the condition and requirement.
The surgeon will begin by making a few small incisions in your knee. Sterile salt water or saline, will then pump in to expand your knee. This makes it easier for the surgeon to see inside the joint. The arthroscope enters one of the cuts and the surgeon will look around in your joint using the attached camera. The surgeon can see the images produced by the camera on the monitor in the operating room.
When the surgeon locates the problem in your knee, they may then insert small tools into the incisions to correct the issue. After the surgery, the surgeon drains the saline from your joint and closes your cuts with stitches.
Outcomes are generally good if performed by an experienced orthopedic surgeon, with very less probability of development of complications.
