Arthroscopy: Advantages

What are the advantages to arthroscopic surgery?

Arthroscopic surgery is generally easier on the patient than open surgery.
Many patients have arthroscopic surgery as outpatients, either in a hospital or in a day surgery centre. They have the procedure early in the day, and leave in the afternoon or early evening.
The small surgical wounds from the arthroscopy, often not needing stitches, ensure a more pleasing appearance than the scars caused by open surgery.
Because the wounds are small, the patient's immediate postoperative pain is reduced. Patients usually go back to work or school or resume daily activities within a few days.

Remember, every person's condition is different therefore every recovery will be different.
