If you have a knee condition such as an ACL tear, a PCL tear, or a meniscus tear, your doctor may recommend that you have arthroscopic knee surgery in order to treat the condition. Arthroscopic knee surgery in Mumbai is a minimally invasive form of surgery with numerous benefits over traditional knee surgery.   

In particular, there is a lower risk of side effects with arthroscopic knee surgery as opposed to open knee surgery. However, all surgeries come with some risk of side effects. It’s important to be fully aware of the potential side effects before you decide to undergo surgery. 

Potential Side Effects 

You may experience a number of side effects after surgery. Some of the most common and temporary types of side effects include issues like swelling and scarring. Less common, but still possible, are issues like bleeding, infection, and thrombophlebitis (blood clots). Your doctor or your Osteoarthritis surgeon in Mumbai will talk to you about what symptoms you should report.

Reducing Your Risk

In broad terms, the best way to reduce your risk of side effects is to follow all of your doctor’s recommendations about self-care before and after surgery, and to be forthcoming about your medical history. For example, your doctor will recommend that you get active soon after surgery – this helps to prevent blood clots. Your doctor will recommend that you keep your incision dry until the sutures come out – this prevents infection.

Your doctor will also ask for details about your medical history and current medications before surgery. Your medical history can reveal whether or not you have any conditions that put you at a higher risk for side effects. In addition, since some medications can increase your risk of certain side effects (such as Warfarin and bleeding), your doctor may recommend alterations in your medication schedule, or take special precautions during surgery.

The majority of patients who undergo knee arthroscopy in Mumbai do not experience serious side effects. However, all patients should be aware of the potential in order to make an informed decision.
