What is a Knee Arthroscopy?
Knee arthroscopy in Turkey is a minimally invasive surgical technique practiced to repair injuries that have occurred in the joints, by making two or three small cuts on the skin through which a camera is introduced to gain direct insight from the field of intervention.

Your surgeon can use knee arthroscopy to examine, repair, or remove any injured tissue.
How is an Arthroscopic Knee Surgery Done?
Knee Arthroscopy abroad can be performed under local anaesthesia, through which patients feel no discomfort or pain.
Arthroscopic knee surgery is a minimally invasive operation in which two half-centimetre small holes are made in the knee. Through one of them a tiny camera connected to a monitor is introduced to be able to see in detail what the injury is inside the knee. Instruments are inserted through the other hole to perform the surgery. Thus, the injured structures are seen and repaired with greater precision.
This part of a knee arthroscopy generally lasts from 30 minutes to just over an hour. How long it lasts depends on the findings and the treatment needed. You will be transferred to the recovery room and could go home in 1 to 2 hours after a knee arthroscopy in Turkey.

How painful is a Knee Arthroscopy?
As in every other surgery, experiencing moderate pain and discomfort is quite common, not during the knee arthroscopy but after you have recovered from anaesthesia. The pain can be kept under control through medications and physical therapy exercises. It is also important to keep the incision clean to prevent infection or irritation. Patients are advised to use a walking stick for the first 2 weeks after knee arthroscopy to avoid too much weight on the knees, which otherwise will increase the pain level.
What are the Risks of a Knee Arthroscopy?
When compared to a total knee replacement, arthroscopic knee surgery in Turkey is a simple procedure that requires a small incision on the knees.

How Long Does it Take to Recover from a Knee Arthroscopy?
Although recovery from knee arthroscopy is much faster than traditional open knee surgery, it is essential to follow your surgeon’s instructions during your recovery period. The average downtime of a knee arthroscopy is generally 2 weeks while the full recovery takes about 6 weeks.
However, the end result of your surgery will likely be determined by the degree of damage to your knee. For example, if the articular cartilage in your knee has worn down completely, then full recovery may not be possible. You may need to change your lifestyle. This may mean limiting your activities and looking for low-impact exercise alternatives.
