Small Incisions. Better Knee Movement.
What Is Knee Arthroscopy?
Understanding the treatment in 4 simple points.
The Problem
Knee injuries, torn cartilage or damaged ligaments can cause pain, swelling and difficulty moving.
The Solution
A tiny camera and specialised instruments are used through small incisions to examine and treat problems inside the knee.
The Benefit
Smaller incisions generally mean less disruption to surrounding tissues compared with open surgery.
When Is It Needed?
When certain knee injuries or mechanical problems require surgical treatment after proper examination.

How Is Hip Replacement Performed?
01. Knee Examination
The doctor checks your knee and may recommend an MRI or X-ray to understand the problem.
02. Small Incisions
Small openings are made around the knee to insert a tiny camera and surgical instruments.
03. Treating the Problem
The doctor views the inside of the knee and treats the damaged structures when necessary.
04. Recovery & Physiotherapy
After surgery, exercises and physiotherapy help restore knee movement, strength and stability.
Recovery after Knee Replacement
Recovery takes place gradually and varies from patient to patient.
Initial Recovery:
Managing swelling, discomfort and caring for the small incisions.
Early Rehabilitation:
Gentle exercises to improve knee movement when appropriate.
Progressive Recovery:
Gradually improving strength and returning to everyday activities.
Long-Term Recovery:
Restoring stability and preparing for physical activities or sports.
Some minor procedures allow relatively quick recovery while ligament reconstruction or meniscus repair may require several months of rehabilitation.
