Are you struggling with persistent knee pain that’s keeping you from living life on your terms? At AZ Orthopedic in Chandler, AZ, we understand how frustrating it is when pain limits your movement and steals your joy. That’s why we specialize in knee arthroscopy —a minimally invasive procedure designed to diagnose and treat knee problems quickly and effectively.

Living with knee pain can feel overwhelming, making simple daily tasks harder and your future uncertain. But you don’t have to accept this discomfort or delay treatment any longer. Take the first step to regain your freedom. Schedule an appointment today, and let us guide you toward a life without knee pain.

Knee arthroscopy  means choosing a smarter, gentler way to heal your knee. Here’s why so many patients prefer this approach:

• Smaller Incisions: Minimal cuts mean less scarring and faster healing.
• Less Post-Surgery Pain: Patients experience less discomfort than with traditional open surgery.
• Quicker Recovery: Most patients return to light activities within weeks, not months.
• Accurate Diagnosis: The camera gives your doctor a precise view of your knee, leading to better treatment decisions.
• Outpatient Procedure: Many patients go home the same day, avoiding hospital stays and extra stress.

We know that surgery can feel intimidating. That’s why we want you to feel fully prepared and confident. Here’s a simple breakdown of what happens:

Step 1: Pre-Surgery Preparation

Before your procedure, you’ll have a thorough consultation and any necessary tests. On surgery day, anesthesia will keep you comfortable throughout.

Step 2: Camera Inspection

A small arthroscope is inserted through a tiny incision, giving your doctor a clear view inside your knee.

Step 3: Repair Work

If damage is found, our expert surgeons will use specialized tools through additional small incisions to repair or remove damaged tissue.

Step 4: Closing the Area

The incisions are carefully stitched or sealed to minimize scarring.

Step 5: Recovery Room

After a short recovery period, you’ll be ready to head home the same day.

Not everyone with knee pain is a candidate for this procedure, but you might be if:

• Your knee pain has lasted for weeks or months without improvement despite therapy or rest.
• You’ve recently injured your knee, such as a torn meniscus or ligament.
• Imaging tests reveal damage that could benefit from arthroscopic repair.
• You’re generally healthy and able to undergo anesthesia safely.
• You need a more precise diagnosis to decide the best treatment path.

Our doctors will carefully review your situation and explain all your options in clear, straightforward language, so you feel confident in your care.

Before Your Procedure:

• Avoid eating or drinking for at least 8 hours before surgery.
• Arrange for a trusted person to drive you home afterward.
• Inform your doctor of any medications or health concerns you have.

After Your Procedure:

• Keep your leg elevated to reduce swelling.
• Use ice packs as directed to manage pain.
• Follow your personalized physical therapy plan to regain strength and mobility.
• Avoid putting weight on your leg until your provider gives you the go-ahead.
