General guidance on assessing injuries inside the knee, the role of arthroscopy, and a planned return to activity.
Careful assessment inside the jointTreatment guided by the type of injury
Minimally invasive accessthrough small incisions
When is it considered?
Arthroscopy can be part of the answer, but it is not the starting point for every condition
Arthroscopy may be considered when the history, examination, and imaging suggest that looking inside or treating the joint could contribute to care.
02
Sports-related knee injuries
The effect of a sports injury on joint stability and function is assessed in relation to the patient’s activity goals.
03
Persistent mechanical symptoms
Ongoing locking, catching, or restricted movement is assessed to identify the cause and a suitable care path.
From diagnosis to a treatment choice
Four steps toward a more informed decision
The type of injury, activity level, and goal for returning to movement all shape treatment and rehabilitation.
Discussion and examination
The injury, onset of symptoms, sporting activity, and knee stability are assessed.
Targeted imaging review
Medical images are interpreted alongside examination findings and do not determine treatment on their own.
Comparing care options
Non-surgical and surgical options are considered in light of the injury, individual needs, and activity goals.
Treatment and rehabilitation plan
If arthroscopy is selected, surgery and rehabilitation are planned around the specific injury.
After treatment
Rehabilitation is part of the treatment journey
The pace of returning to activity varies with the injury, the procedure performed, general health, and the body’s response to rehabilitation.
- Managing pain and swellingIndividual aftercare instructions and symptoms that require follow-up are explained.
- Restoring movement and strengthExercises and restrictions are adjusted to the injury and the procedure performed.
- A gradual return to sportFunctional milestones and clinical review guide the timing of return.
Rehabilitation goalControlled movement and a safer return
For your assessment
Information that supports a clearer discussion
Complete records support a structured review, while the final assessment still depends on the full clinical picture and examination.
Medical images
Bring previous MRI scans, radiographs, and related reports.
Treatment history
