Here Is All That You Need To Know About Knee Arthroscopy!

Procedure

The procedure starts with the doctor using anesthesia. Anesthesia is done to numb the pain that occurs during the surgery. However, it has different types that heavily depends on the length of arthroscopy. For instance, a doctor would prefer stabbing a local anesthetic to insensate only the knee. In case both of the knees requires treatment then the doctor would go for a regional anesthetic that would make a person go numb below the waist. The third option is general anesthetic that is used very rarely. In it during the process the patient is asleep and in case if he/she is awake they can watch the procedure taking place in the monitor.
