Frequently Asked Questions (Arthroscopy)
Is keyhole arthroscopy painful?
Keyhole arthroscopy causes significantly less pain than traditional open surgery. Local or regional anesthesia is administered during the procedure, and mild discomfort afterwards is easily managed with prescribed analgesics.
How soon can I walk after knee arthroscopy?
Most patients can walk with support on the same day or the day after surgery, depending on whether a tissue repair or simple cleanup was performed.
Are the scars visible after keyhole surgery?
No. Incisions are usually less than 1 centimeter long and fade into faint, barely noticeable lines over time.
