Common Questions and Answers about Arthroscopy knee operation video
operation
Hello,
I have had 3 arthroscopies on my left knee to repair my lateral horn meniscus in September 2009, January 2014 and March 2015. Each time after the operation and recovery my knee begins to feel good and strong again.
After 1 and a half year since my last operation my knee has felt great, however 5 days ago I squatted down (asian squat toilet), and instantly knew I had torn the cartilage again.
Since this moment my left knee has a constant ache/throb.
I had a arthroscopy done on my knee 7 days ago. I am having sharp stabbing pains in the knee when I walk. Is this normal and will go away in time. I have a follow up appointment next week.
One of the most common injuries that arthroscopy can fix is a tear of the meniscus, the layer of cartilage in the knee between the thigh and shin bones and anterior cruciate ligaments etc. What is the reason of your arthroscopy? What is your age?
The surgeon might have looked around your knee for problems. The surgeon may have put other medical instruments inside your knee through the other small incisions. The surgeon might have come to the conclusion that he may not fix the problem.
t understand any thing, they were saying every thing is perfect. Finally a consultant sugested that I need a knee arthroscopy as I have a cyst attached to my ligaments PCL and ACL. and I have plica symptom. I didn't want to have the arthroscopy because I was worried about the scar tissues on my knee post op.
Finally, I had an Arthroscopy 2 weeks ago for removal of a cyst of 15mmx13mmx13mm which was betwenn PCL and ACL.
I think she was feeling a pinched nerve type sensation. When the nerves get irritated, they'll tend to tingle and feel numb...with RLS people, it's a neuromuscular problem, you can see the muscle fibers ripple when it gets bad and the nerves are misfiring all over the place, and some describe it as ants crawling on their legs, so that's what I think was going on. It's just the way she's wired.
The reason the arthroscopy was done is due to knee pain as a result of meniscus tear n torn cartilage. My doctor is not at our town. I have to fly in to another town to do the arthroscopy. I did call my doctor & was advise that this is normal after the incision. Well, I now can walk around but slow. My knees seem not able to support me even normal daily thing like going to toilet. I need some support in order to sit down or stand up. Just wonder if it is normal.
I had a left knee arthroscopy today for a lateral meniscus tear. From the MRI the doctor said the location of the tear didn’t get enough blood supply so I decided to “cut” the problem area.
After the knee arthroscopy today he told me the tear was larger than what the MRI showed and he didn’t suture it or remove anything. I was furious because I felt since he had me on the table he should’ve done something instead of closing me up and putting my body through another round of this.
Any thoughts?
I got knee arthroscopy surgery for a loose body removal. a week later I still had liquid discharge from the incision,so the doctor wrapped it with an ace bandage,went back a few days later and still had the discharge so my doctor decided to put 3 staples over the stitches to try to stop the fluid from coming out.can this be done and was he supposed to do this?
I had knee arthroscopy 6 weeks ago to smooth the cartilage on the back of the patella, remove scar tissue, and correct a structural defect in a groove at the bottom of the femur that helps the kneecap track properly (needed to widen it). I had a lot of swelling over the first 4 weeks. This has finally subsided for the most part but I am struggling to get the full flexion back. I am still only at 105 degrees despite physio, biking, and the elliptical trainer.
Both general and regional anesthesia are inherently safe for knee arthroscopy. One or the other may be preferable for you depending on your general health and the specifics of your medical history. This is usually determined by your anesthesiologist. I know of no study that documents the frequency of one anesthesia technique over another for simple knee arthroscopy.
She has seen many doctors, has had x-rays, MRIs, and one arthroscopy surgery on her knee. She has soft cartilage in her knees. She tried taking glucosamine but found no relief after 6 months so she stopped taking it.
She cries to me almost every night.
We are beside ourselves. What will she be like in her 40s,50s,etc?
Does anyone have any suggestions as to what it might be?
ve had the surgery done this way is that it can be done intravenously, and with some shots locally in the knee area.
However, surgeons my wife has spoken to have said that if she goes with conscious sedation she would also need to have a shot in the back or in the hip, which they warned her quite strongly has some risks to it.
Below are the findings of my knee MRI please suggest in this case should i go ahead with the arthoscopy or shall take a treatment..
If your knee is locked it would be manipulated under anesthesia till the knee relaxes and then the torn menisci will fall into its place and the knee is unlocked.
The knee is immobilized in compression bandage for 2-3 weeks and this is followed by physiotherapy.
If you orthopedician wants to excise the torn menisci microscopically you can go for arthroscopic surgery.
You should visit an orthopedician to go for the best course of treatment: conservative or surgical.
Take care!
MRI of knee shows "irregularity and hyperense signal in root of lateral meniscus , popliteal fossa cysts, small bakers cyst, myxoid degeneration in lateral meniscus and posterior horn of medial meniscus." ( also mild chondromalacia patella??)
Physician is reccommending arthroscopic surgery.... does this sound reasonable??
