Knee arthroscopy is a surgical technique that can diagnose and treat problems in the kneejoint. During the procedure, your surgeon will make a very small incision and insert a tiny camera called an arthroscope into yourknee. This allows them to view the inside of the joint on a screen. How long is recovery from arthroscopic knee replacement surgery? It takes up to six weeks for the knee joint to re-establish normal joint fluid after arthroscopic surgery. Because of this, you may not realize the benefits of your surgery for four to six weeks. There is a high degree of variability in recovery times. What can I expect from arthroscopic knee surgery? Your Recovery. Arthroscopy is a way to find problems and do surgery inside a joint without making a large cut (incision). Your doctor put a lighted tube with a tiny camera called an arthroscope, or scope and surgical tools through small incisions in your knee. You will feel tired for several days. Are you awake during arthroscopic knee surgery? Three different types of pain relief (anesthesia) may be used for knee arthroscopy surgery. You will stay awake during your arthroscopic knee surgery. Spinal anesthesia – This is also called regional anesthesia. Painkilling medicine is injected into a space in your spine. Can you walk right after arthroscopic knee surgery? If necessary due to pain, patients may opt to use crutches or a walker for a few days after surgery. Once more comfortable, most people are able to walk with a minimal limp within one or two weeks after surgery. Most patients realize a benefit from arthroscopic knee surgery within 4 to 6 weeks. Are you put to sleep for knee arthroscopy? General Anesthesia: General anesthesia allows you to sleep through the procedure. Regional Anesthesia: This includes epidural and spinal anesthesia. These options are acceptable for most types of knee arthroscopy. They allow patients to remain awake during the procedure.

The shoulder is a shallow ball and socket joint. This allows fantastic range of movement, but also makes it an inherently unstable joint. The socket is made deeper by a rim of fibrocartilage (labrum). Additional stability is provided by thickenings of the joint capsule (ligaments) and the rotator cuff muscles. Shoulder stability relies upon these ligaments remaining intact and the muscles being strong.A shoulder dislocation occurs when the ball (humerus) comes out of the socket (glenoid). This may be partial (subluxation) or full (dislocation). After the first episode, it is likely that the labrum and ligaments will be torn, putting the shoulder at high risk of recurrent episodes of instability. This is especially true for patients under the age of 30 years.Recurrent shoulder instability following a traumatic shoulder dislocation can be effectively treated by repairing the torn labrum and ligaments. This is most commonly done using keyhole (arthroscopic) surgery and, when using modern techniques, is associated with a high rate of success. The labrum is reattached to the edge of the socket and the ligaments are tightened. This is done using suture anchors inserted into the edge of the socket (glenoid).Recovery following surgery usually involves staying one night in hospital, and being in a sling for 6 weeks. Most people can drive a car after 6 to 8 weeks. Rehabilitation guidelines to share with your physiotherapist are provided following the surgery. Return sport is usually possible at 6 months.
