What is knee arthroscopy?
ACL surgery is a specialized procedure designed to repair or rebuild the anterior cruciate ligament (ACL), a key stabilizing structure of the knee. The anterior cruciate ligament plays a crucial role in the movement, balance, and stability of the knee joint, especially during activities that involve sudden stops, turns, or sudden changes of direction. When torn, the ligament doesn't heal on its own, causing instability and weakness and increasing the risk of further damage to the knee.
Dr. Arjona specializes in advanced, minimally invasive ACL surgery, and uses arthroscopic techniques to ensure greater precision, faster recovery and minimal scarring. Depending on the severity of the tear and the patient's level of activity, different surgical approaches may be recommended:

Meniscus tears
A common injury that affects knee cartilage and causes pain, swelling and limited mobility. Arthroscopy allows the meniscus to be trimmed (partial meniscectomy) or repaired, depending on the severity of the tear.

Anterior cruciate ligament and ligament injuries
In some cases where the ligament is partially torn or detached from the bone, a repair procedure may be performed to reposition the ligament instead of replacing it. This is only feasible when the tissue is in good condition and has the potential to heal properly. Anterior cruciate ligament repair is often recommended in younger patients or in patients with recent, non-complex tears.

Cartilage Damage and Arthritis Treatment
Arthroscopy can smooth rough cartilage surfaces, remove damaged cartilage, or stimulate new cartilage growth, helping patients with arthritis or cartilage injuries to regain knee function.

Knee inflammation and synovitis
Chronic inflammation caused by conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis or synovitis can be treated by removing inflamed tissue and reducing pain and swelling.

Removal of loose bone fragments and debris
In cases of trauma or degenerative conditions, loose bone or cartilage fragments can become trapped in the joint, causing pain and limited mobility. Arthroscopy allows for precise removal, improving knee function.

Recovery and post-surgical care
The recovery from knee arthroscopy is faster and less intensive compared to traditional knee surgery. With Dr. Arjona's personalized rehabilitation plan, patients regain mobility quickly and, at the same time, ensure long-term knee stability and function.
- Patients are advised to walk within 24 hours after surgery to prevent stiffness, improve circulation and promote healing. Most people can support weight on their knees right away, with minimal discomfort.
- A structured rehabilitation program focuses on gentle range-of-motion exercises for the first few days, and then progresses gradually to strength training and balance exercises to restore knee function and prevent future injuries.
- Ice, elevation and compression therapy, along with prescription medications, help control pain and inflammation, ensuring a comfortable recovery.
- Most patients resume normal activities within 1 to 3 weeks, with a gradual return to high-impact sports and movements within 4 to 6 weeks, depending on their progress and adherence to physical therapy.

With appropriate rehabilitation and follow-up care, patients experience better knee function, reduced pain, and a faster return to an active lifestyle. Dr. Arjona ensures continuous monitoring and guidance throughout the recovery process for optimal results.
