Knee arthroscopy is a leading-edge, minimally invasive surgical procedure expertly performed by Dr. Kevin McCarthy to diagnose and treat a variety of knee issues. This advanced technique involves using a small camera called an arthroscope to view and operate inside the knee joint through tiny incisions, leading to more precise and effective treatment.
Here’s how knee arthroscopy works:
Dr. McCarthy’s expertise ensures that each knee arthroscopy is tailored to the individual needs of every patient, promoting faster recovery and improved outcomes.
The average recovery time for arthroscopic knee surgery is typically about 4 to 6 weeks, but it can vary depending on the individual and the specific procedure performed. Dr. McCarthy will provide you with specific instructions for your recovery based on your unique situation. It is important to follow these instructions carefully in order to fully heal and minimize any potential complications.
Knee arthroscopic surgery offers several benefits over traditional techniques, including smaller incisions, reduced pain and scarring, quicker recovery times, and less postoperative stiffness. It allows for precise diagnosis and treatment of knee issues, often resulting in shorter hospital stays and a faster return to daily activities.
Additionally, arthroscopy typically involves less risk of complications and can be performed on an outpatient basis.
Knee arthroscopy can treat various conditions, including meniscus tears and ligament injuries (such as ACL tears), cartilage damage, patellar problems, and knee joint inflammation or loose bodies.
