Arthroscopic Knee Surgery

The surgeon will insert a small camera into your knee so that they can view the inside of your knee on a screen. The doctor can then repair the ligaments of the joint and limit the risks of it happening again. The risks are rare but possible–some bleeding, infection near the site area, allergic reaction, and stiffness of the knee.

ACL Reconstruction

This is the reconstruction of the ligament in the center of your knee. This keeps your shin bone in place, when this tears it causes your knee to give out during physical activity. The tissue used to replace your ACL comes from another part of your body or a donor.

Arthroscopy

Your doctor will go in through your spine, adding a camera to make small holes and allowing them to see the joint to fix the damages. THey repair a damaged meniscus, or part of the knee cartilage. This means they will make several incisions around the knee in order to remove the damaged pieces. This will decide if surgery needs to be taken to the next step or not.   

Microfracture

Small holes are created in the bone helping to circulate and stimulate cartilage growth to replace cartilage which is currently damaged, allowing the holes to flow blood into injured area to form a clot. Over time the clot will minimize symptoms, such as pain and swelling. This allows quicker recovery time.
