What is Arthroscopy
Arthroscopy allows the surgeon to view cartilage, ligaments, meniscus, tendons, and joint lining in real time. Because it uses small incisions, arthroscopy is commonly chosen for selected knee and shoulder conditions where non-surgical treatment has not provided enough relief.

FAQs
Is arthroscopy a surgery or only a test?
Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure that can be used for both diagnosis and treatment in the same sitting.
Will I need an MRI before arthroscopy?
Not always. MRI is commonly advised for knee/shoulder injuries, but your surgeon decides based on examination and symptoms.
How soon can I walk after knee arthroscopy?
Many patients can walk with support early, but it depends on what was treated and your doctor’s rehab plan.
How long does recovery take after arthroscopy?
Recovery varies by condition and treatment. Simple procedures recover faster; repairs and complex sports injuries need longer rehab.
Is physiotherapy necessary after arthroscopy?
Yes. Physiotherapy improves motion, strength, stability, and long-term results.
Can arthroscopy treat arthritis?
Arthroscopy may help selected problems, but advanced arthritis often needs different treatment plans. A consultation decides the best approach.
When can I return to sports after shoulder or knee arthroscopy?
Return-to-sport timing depends on the diagnosis, repair type, and physiotherapy progress. Your surgeon will guide a safe timeline.
