Knee surgery includes modern minimally invasive techniques that restore function, reduce pain and improve mobility.
Knee Arthroscopy
Knee arthroscopy is a minimally invasive method that allows damage to be diagnosed and repaired, with a faster recovery and minimal disruption.
Knee Replacement
Knee replacement is an effective solution for improving mobility and relieving pain in advanced joint conditions.
Frequently Asked Questions
When is knee surgery necessary?

How long does knee surgery take?
The length of the procedure depends on the method, but typically ranges from around 30 minutes for arthroscopy to 1.5–2 hours for a replacement.
What are the possible complications after knee surgery?
Complications are rare, but may include inflammation, stiffness or thrombosis, which are prevented through proper rehabilitation.
How long does full recovery after knee surgery take?
Recovery ranges from a few weeks for arthroscopy to several months for a replacement, depending on the case and on physiotherapy.
