Feedback following ACL reconstruction
Knee arthroscopy uses a small camera to examine the inside of the knee. It can help assess and treat selected problems, including meniscal tears, loose fragments and damage associated with other knee injuries. A meniscus is a cushion of cartilage between the thigh bone and shin bone. A tear can cause pain, swelling or catching, although symptoms and treatment needs vary.
Not every meniscal tear or painful knee needs surgery. Physiotherapy and other non-operative treatments may be appropriate. Mr Aweid will assess your symptoms, examination and imaging before discussing whether arthroscopy is suitable.
A camera and small instruments are introduced through small incisions. Depending on the findings, a torn meniscus may be repaired or an unstable damaged portion trimmed. The aim is to preserve useful meniscal tissue where possible. The proposed treatment and any associated procedures will be discussed before surgery.
Many patients can go home on the day of surgery. Recovery depends on the procedure: a meniscal repair usually requires more protection than a simple trim, and may involve a brace and restrictions on weight bearing. Physiotherapy supports movement, strength and a gradual return to activity. Your team will provide individual instructions.
Potential risks include infection, bleeding, blood clots, stiffness, ongoing pain and injury to nearby nerves or blood vessels. A meniscal repair may not heal and further treatment may be needed. The likely benefits and alternatives will be discussed at your consultation.
This depends on the tear pattern, tissue quality and other findings. Mr Aweid will explain the options and aim to preserve meniscal tissue where appropriate.
This varies substantially between procedures. A meniscal repair generally needs a longer rehabilitation programme than trimming; return is guided by healing, strength and your clinical team.
