Before Your Operation Arthroscopy of the Knee

Even though Knee Arthroscopy is a relatively simple procedure, there are still preparations that you will need to make before coming into hospital for your operation.

This video should answer most questions about what will happen in the run-up to surgery, but there’s also a downloadable pdf on this specific subject at the foot of this page and a more detailed Patient Booklet about Arthroscopy in the Resources section of the website.

You can also find contact details for the medical team under Contact Us in the Help section of the site.
