Abstract

Arthroscopic surgery has revolutionized the treatment of knee injuries by offering minimally invasive techniques to address common conditions like meniscal tears, ligament injuries such as ACL tears, and cartilage damage. This article critically reviews the outcomes of arthroscopic knee surgery, emphasizing its role in symptom alleviation, functional restoration, and pain reduction among patients. Key determinants of surgical success explored include patient demographics, severity of injury, and adherence to post-operative rehabilitation protocols. Positive outcomes typically include improved joint mobility and stability, along with reduced recovery times compared to traditional open surgeries. However, limitations such as variability in outcomes based on injury complexity and the potential for complications like infection or persistent pain are also discussed. Despite these challenges, arthroscopic surgery remains pivotal in modern orthopedic practice for its ability to enhance patient outcomes and quality of life through targeted, less invasive interventions.
