Knee pain, sports injuries, and ligament damage can make everyday activities difficult and affect your quality of life. Arthroscopic knee surgery is an advanced minimally invasive procedure that allows orthopedic surgeons to diagnose and treat various knee conditions with greater precision while preserving healthy tissues. Using small incisions and a high-definition camera, the procedure helps reduce pain, shorten hospital stays, and promote faster recovery compared to traditional open surgery.
Dr. Ashish Singh is an orthopedic surgeon with more than 25 years of experience, offering arthroscopic knee surgery for patients suffering from meniscus tears, ACL injuries, cartilage damage, ligament injuries, and other knee joint problems. While based in Patna, he is consulted by patients from across India for second opinions and treatment of complex sports and ligament injuries. Every treatment plan is tailored to the patient's condition, lifestyle, and recovery goals to achieve the best possible outcome.
Arthroscopic knee surgery, also known as knee arthroscopy, is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to diagnose and treat problems inside the knee joint. During the procedure, a small camera called an arthroscope is inserted through tiny incisions, allowing the surgeon to clearly view the internal structures of the knee on a monitor. Specialized instruments are then used to repair or remove damaged tissues without making large surgical cuts.
This advanced technique is commonly recommended for ligament injuries, torn meniscus, cartilage damage, loose bone fragments, and sports-related knee injuries. Because the procedure requires only small incisions, patients usually experience less pain, minimal scarring, lower risk of infection, and a quicker recovery than with conventional open surgery.
Arthroscopic knee surgery is generally recommended for individuals whose knee pain or injury has not improved with medications, physiotherapy, injections, or other conservative treatments. You may be a suitable candidate if you experience:
