  • Video was informative and pretty good. However, the Dr. (?) coming on at the end with the hokey used car salesman banter/presentation made me think he's less of a professional. I need this procedure myself, which is why I was here.

  • How long would it take for the knee to heal and return to sports after the surgery?

  • first of all I would do all this in europe but not in london.

  • Thanks for the video Dr. Biehl!!!

  • I had a skiing injury that included a non displaced tibial plateau fracture, & I fell on my right lateral knee & felt some tension with my toe pointing inwards, ski did not release. I felt some loose feeling in the joint: rotation, lateral leg raise, or putting weight & then letting off the weight, it seems to have some looseness, there was also some clicking along the right lateral knee are when it would bend. MRI said there was no injury, but I'm curious if something maybe have been missed

  • Beware - I had this done in London. I still couldn't walk two weeks later. A scan showed that I also had a massive DVT. A year and lots of physio later, my knee is slightly worse than pre-op, my circulation is permanently damaged, and I'm lucky to be alive. Knee arthroscopy carries high risk of DVT - certainly 3%, maybe 8%. Don't let your surgeon gloss over this, and find out how you will be protected.

  • You have a very valid point. I have had a few patients develop a DVT after knee arthroscopy. The DVT is usually detected when the patient returns for follow-up at post op day 2-3. They usually complain of pain out of the ordinary or complain of calf (not knee) pain. A stat venous doppler ultrasound makes the dx and the patient is tx with a blood thinner. In my experience, their knee still turns out well. Pts with high risk for a DVT are done without the use of a thigh tourniquet.

  • Thanks for sharing

  • i'm having this done tomorrow..wish me luck !

  • ohhh!! so u might b done wit surgery by nw isnt?? hw do u feel?? hope ur feeling fine n better thn b4!

  • Thats only a small injury! The meniscus in my right knee resembles the surface of the moon, and my LCL is my only remaining ligament in that knee! beat that!

  • could you send me a video showing details of starting arthroscopy of knee so i could practice it in my hospital i am orthopeadic surgeon

  • Thank you so much!

    This helped me a lot with an essay for anatomy!

  • thanks for this! I am having this done in about a month. I damaged my meniscus playing ball hockey 4 weeks ago . . . hopefully the damage isn't too severe, but I have pain when I extend fully and lock my leg - so something must be blocking it . . .

  • i'm having this done on Jan 29th after damaging it in the army.. good video thanks :)

  • I had a knee arthroscopy a week ago to repair severe cartledge damage. im icing and working it everyday, it wasnt that bad, only a 1 hour surgery.
