Arthroscopy is a highly safe operation with little complications. Among the issues that may arise are:

• Damage to the tissue or nerves. Instrument placement and movement within the joint might cause harm to the joint's structures.
• Infection. Infection is a possibility with any form of invasive surgery.
• Clots in the blood. Procedures lasting more than an hour may raise your risk of getting blood clots in your legs or lungs.

Arthroscopic knee surgery is a minimally invasive procedure for repairing the ligaments or meniscus in the knee. The highly advanced treatment has a success record of over 90%.

The pain normally goes away in two to three weeks, but it might take up to six weeks. Up to six weeks of swelling in the entire knee.
