Knee Surgery & Arthroscopy

What Is Knee Arthroscopy?

Arthroscopy is a minimally invasive procedure that allows the surgeon to visualize and treat injuries inside the knee through small incisions using a specialized camera.

It is commonly used to treat:

• Meniscus tears
• Cartilage damage
• Ligament injuries
• Loose bodies inside the joint
• Persistent inflammation

When Is Surgery Recommended?

After a comprehensive clinical evaluation and imaging studies, surgery may be recommended when:

• Pain persists despite medication and physical therapy
• Knee instability is present
• There is locking or significant difficulty moving the knee
• The injury significantly limits the quality of life

Following the procedure, medical follow-up and rehabilitation are essential to achieve proper recovery.

Types of Procedures

Depending on the diagnosis, Dr. Luna may perform:

• Knee arthroscopy
• Meniscus repair or partial meniscectomy
• Ligament reconstruction
• Cartilage repair procedures
• Knee replacement in cases of advanced degeneration

Not all patients require surgery. The goal is to recommend a procedure only when it will provide meaningful improvement in pain, stability, and mobility.
