Knee Arthroscopy
Is persistent knee pain keeping you from staying active or enjoying daily life? At SARC Orthopedics, our knee arthroscopy offers a minimally invasive solution for both diagnosing and treating knee issues, helping active adults and athletes return to pain-free movement faster than traditional surgery.
What is Knee Arthroscopy?
Knee arthroscopy is an advanced procedure using tiny incisions and a high-definition camera to diagnose and repair knee damage. Performed as an outpatient procedure, it addresses issues like meniscus tears or ligament injuries, offering immediate treatment with minimal recovery time.
When Should You Consider?
You may benefit from knee arthroscopy if you:
Have knee pain that persists despite rest, medications, or physical therapy.
Experience limited mobility due to meniscus tears, ligament injuries, or cartilage damage.
Seek a faster, less invasive alternative to traditional knee surgery.
The Process
Consultation and Evaluation: Our orthopedic specialists at SARC Orthopedics assess your condition to determine if arthroscopy is right for you.
Procedure: This 30-60 minute outpatient procedure, performed under anesthesia, uses three small incisions to diagnose and repair damage, allowing same-day discharge.
Recovery: Patients can walk the same day, resume light activities in 1-2 weeks, and follow a customized rehab plan to restore strength and mobility.
Follow-Up: Regular check-ups monitor progress, with most patients seeing significant improvement within 6-12 weeks.
Benefits
Precise Diagnosis: HD camera visualization identifies meniscus tears, ligament damage, or cartilage wear.
Immediate Treatment: Repair damaged tissue during the same procedure.

Minimal Scarring: Three incisions smaller than a button.
