Understanding knee arthroscopy
Knee arthroscopy can be a diagnostic tool or a therapeutic tool. Most knee diagnoses are evident on an MRI scan without the need for arthroscopy, but not all. Many disorders, such as a degenerate meniscal tear, will settle with analgesia and a steroid injection. Those that persist may benefit from an arthroscopic debridement to trim the torn cartilage, taking away the source of the pain.
​
Knee surgeons today are far more conservative about the meniscus than they used to be. The meniscus serves an important shock-absorber function within the knee and it is important to retain as much of the meniscus as possible during debridement.
​
Mr McKenna performs knee arthroscopy as a day case. Most patient will be using crutches for a day or two. Most patients will return to work after 72 hours.
​
Mr McKenna does not perform ligament reconstruction surgery (ACL/PCL/MPFL) or treat patella maltracking disorders. He works closely with some very talented Sports-Knee surgeons whom he would recommend. Get in touch for more information or to book your consultation.
“Dear Mr McKenna, thank you for the care and skill you exercised during the procedure of partial left knee replacement. Following your recommendation, I have found the recovery both rapid and remarkable and an interesting comparison to the full knee replacement that I experienced 6 years ago. Thank you sincerely.”
