Knee pain can disrupt your daily life—making it hard to walk, climb stairs, or even get a good night’s sleep. If you’ve been told you may need knee surgery, it's normal to feel uncertain or even anxious. At Dr. Rami Hamed Center (DRHC) in Dubai, we understand those concerns and are here to offer you clear answers, personalized care, and advanced treatment options.

Arthroscopic knee surgery is one of the most effective and minimally invasive ways to treat a range of knee joint problems. And when you’re making a decision about your health, choosing an experienced surgeon and a trusted facility is key. Here’s why so many patients in Dubai and beyond choose Dr. Rami Hamed for arthroscopic knee surgery.

What Is Arthroscopic Knee Surgery?

Arthroscopic knee surgery is a minimally invasive procedure used to diagnose and treat knee problems using a small camera (arthroscope) inserted through tiny incisions. It allows for precise repair of damage with less disruption to surrounding tissues.

Conditions commonly treated with arthroscopy include:

• Meniscus tears
• Ligament injuries (ACL, PCL)
• Cartilage damage
• Joint inflammation (synovitis)
• Loose bone or cartilage fragments
• Recurrent knee swelling or stiffness

Patients benefit from shorter recovery times, less pain, and smaller scars compared to traditional open surgery.

Commonly Asked Questions (FAQs)

Q1: Is arthroscopic knee surgery painful?
A1: The procedure itself is performed under anesthesia, so you won’t feel pain during surgery. Afterward, some soreness is expected, but this is usually mild and can be managed with pain relief medications. Most patients report less discomfort than with traditional surgery.

Q2: How long does it take to recover from knee arthroscopy?
A2: Recovery depends on the type of knee issue treated, but many people can resume light activities within 1 to 2 weeks. Full recovery may take 4 to 6 weeks, with physiotherapy playing a key role in restoring movement and strength.

Q3: Will I need crutches after surgery?
A3: In many cases, patients can walk on the same day of surgery, though crutches may be used temporarily for support. Your mobility plan will be tailored to your specific condition.

Q4: Are there any risks involved in arthroscopic knee surgery?
A4: As with any surgery, there are potential risks such as infection, bleeding, or joint stiffness. However, these are rare, and Dr. Rami Hamed takes every precaution to ensure your safety and comfort throughout the process.

Q5: Can knee problems be treated without surgery?
A5: Yes. At DRHC Dubai, surgery is recommended only after conservative treatments—such as physiotherapy, medications, or injections—have been tried without success. Our goal is always to find the least invasive, most effective option for you.

Q6: Is arthroscopic surgery covered by insurance in Dubai?
A6: Many insurance plans do cover arthroscopic procedures, but coverage varies. Our team at DRHC can help verify your benefits and assist with any necessary approvals or documentation.
