The surgeon will pass an arthroscope through a small cut in the skin and into a joint. Healing potential can be enhanced by inducing healing reaction, either by inducing bleeding or fibrin clot. Special suture material will be used depending on the character of the tear. Arthroscopic meniscus surgery generally lasts about one hour under general anesthesia. After the procedure, the patient may have to limit their activity to some degrees but this will be kept to the minimal using strong and reliable suture material that allows early knee function.
