Before Surgery

Knee arthroscopy is keyhole surgery, a camera is inserted into the knee through two or three puncture wounds it allows the surgeon to look at the joint surfaces, cartilage and the main ligaments of the knee.

The procedure is usually performed at Chapel Allerton Hospital and carried out under a general anaesthetic as a day case procedure. This means you will be allowed home later the same day once you have recovered from the anaesthetic.
