Knee Arthroscopy
Knee Arthroscopy or keyhole surgery is offered to patients who have localised damage within the knee. In the past it was used as a diagnostic procedure but with advances in MRI scanning this in now rarely needed. I perform the vast majority of knee arthroscopes to attend to specific areas of cartilage damage in the knee using various cartilage regeneration procedures. These encourage the body’s own stem cells to repair the damaged areas of the knee. I also regularly repair or partially remove torn cartilage (meniscus) that acts as a shock absorber between the tibia and femur to improve function and relieve pain. Patients undergoing knee arthroscopy usually go home two to three hours after the procedure.
