Arthroscopy is a surgical procedure used for the diagnosis and treatment of problems in the knee joint. During this procedure, a surgeon makes an incision and inserts a camera (known as an arthroscope) into the knee. This allows the surgeon to get a view of the inside of the joint on a high-definition monitor and investigate the problems inside the knee joint. If necessary, the same technique is used to correct the problems by using pencil-thin surgical instruments present in the arthroscope.
Your doctor may recommend arthroscopy in case of knee pain to determine the source and cause of pain. Arthroscopy helps diagnose and treat knee injuries, including the following:

Since the surgical procedure is not very invasive, it takes less than an hour to complete the arthroscopy process. After the surgery, you will be taken to the recovery room in the hospital where the nurses will monitor your blood pressure, heart rate, and breathing and also help manage pain after the surgery through medications.
The knee is covered with the help of a bandage or dressing. You may go home on the same day for further recovery. Your doctor will prescribe you some pain medications to relieve pain and inflammation. Take those medications as directed. At home, it is important to take rest, put ice on your knee, compress, and keep your leg elevated (RICE). The ice helps reduce swelling and pain.
You may take a bath (wet the incision) three days after the surgery. However, you should take a brief shower and pat the wound dry with a clean towel. You will probably have a follow-up appointment with your surgeon a few days after the surgery. You will have a physical therapist to help you with your exercise regimen. These exercises are extremely important to help restore your complete motion and to strengthen your muscles.
