In general, each patient’s experience after surgery is different depending on the type of surgery, the general health status of the patient, the joint being operated on, etc. Most arthroscopic surgeries are completed in 60-90 minutes, after which the patient is taken to the recovery room for overnight observation.

Aftercare after arthroscopic surgery usually includes medications, rest (Rice procedure), assistive devices (crutches, slings, gaiters, etc.) and physical therapy. The amount and duration of physical therapy depends on the type of surgery, the amount of joint function the patient desires, the patient’s age and health status, etc.

Most patients are able to resume daily activities and desk work within a few days and start driving within 1-3 weeks of surgery. However, in case of a complication, recovery may be delayed. You should contact your surgeon if you have any signs of complications such as fever, severe unmanageable pain, infectious drainage from the surgical site, wound inflammation, numbness or tingling.
