It consists of the distal end of the femur, the proximal part of the tibia, and the patella. Important structures around the knee joint include:<\/p><ul><li><p><strong>Menisci (medial and lateral):<\/strong> These are two elastic fibrocartilaginous structures that act as the shock absorbers of the joint. They absorb impact and contribute to smooth movement and knee stability.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Ligaments:<\/strong> Ligaments are bands of connective tissue that connect bones to each other. The main ligaments of the knee are the collateral and cruciate ligaments. The collateral ligaments are located on the outer and inner sides of the knee, while the cruciate ligaments are located in the centre. The anterior and posterior cruciate ligaments cross in the centre of the knee and contribute to joint stability.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Cartilage:<\/strong> Articular cartilage covers the joint surface. It is smooth and allows the bones to glide smoothly and without restriction.<\/p><\/li><li><p><strong>Synovial Membrane:<\/strong> It is the lining of the joint that produces synovial fluid, contributing to knee lubrication.<\/p><\/li><\/ul>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-b47c402 e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"b47c402\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5b895d5 color-scheme-inherit text-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5b895d5\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"pathiseis\" class=\"anchor simple\"><div class=\"grid-container\"><h2><strong>Conditions Treated with Knee Arthroscopy<\/strong><\/h2><p>The most common knee conditions treated arthroscopically are:<\/p><ul><li><p><a href=\"https:\/\/leonidou.gr\/en\/riksi_miniskou\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">Meniscus tear<\/span><\/a> (partial meniscectomy or meniscus repair)<\/p><\/li><li><p><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leonidou.gr\/en\/risksi_prosthiou_xiastou_syndesmou\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Anterior cruciate ligament tear<\/a><\/span> (ligament reconstruction)<\/p><\/li><li><p>Cartilage injuries (<a href=\"https:\/\/leonidou.gr\/en\/chondropatheia-gonatos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">chondropathy<\/span><\/a>)<\/p><\/li><li><p>Loose bodies in the knee<\/p><\/li><li><p>Patellar dislocation \u2013 instability<\/p><\/li><li><p>Knee inflammation<\/p><\/li><li><p>Early <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leonidou.gr\/en\/arthritida_gonatos\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">knee osteoarthritis<\/a><\/span><\/p><\/li><\/ul><h2><strong>What Are the Advantages of Arthroscopy?<\/strong><\/h2><ul><li><p>Improved visibility of the joint<\/p><\/li><li><p>Much lower complication rates compared to open procedures<\/p><\/li><li><p>Minimal tissue damage and therefore reduced postoperative pain<\/p><\/li><li><p>Faster patient recovery<\/p><\/li><li><p>Faster return to work and daily activities<\/p><\/li><li><p>Excellent cosmetic result<\/p><\/li><li><p>No need for hospitalisation<\/p><\/li><\/ul><\/div><\/div>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e19a461 elementor-widget elementor-widget-video\" data-id=\"e19a461\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;youtube_url&quot;:&quot;https:\\\/\\\/www.youtube.com\\\/watch?v=_nlllloOolU&quot;,&quot;video_type&quot;:&quot;youtube&quot;,&quot;controls&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"video.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-wrapper elementor-open-inline\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-video\"><\/div>\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-f3639a0 color-scheme-inherit text-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"f3639a0\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2><strong>What Should I Know Before Surgery \u2013 Preoperative Preparation?<\/strong><\/h2><p>The patient will be informed about the proposed arthroscopic treatment for their knee condition, as well as the subsequent rehabilitation process.

The knee is distended using a saline pump. Through the second incision, the surgeon inserts all the necessary arthroscopic instruments to treat the underlying pathology.<\/p><p>At the end of the procedure, the skin incisions are covered with simple adhesive strips, without stitches, and a cotton-elastic bandage is applied to the knee. The procedure is recorded on a DVD, which is provided to the patient before discharge.<\/p><p>The duration of the procedure depends on the knee condition and usually ranges from 20 minutes to one hour.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-8ef498d e-con-full e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"8ef498d\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-07c850a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"07c850a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"60\" height=\"37\" src=\"https:\/\/leonidou.alexandros.aboutdev.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/04\/logo-frame.svg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-8652\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-42a51c3 color-scheme-inherit text-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"42a51c3\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Would you like to learn more about <strong>Knee Arthroscopy<\/strong>?<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<a class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e367306 e-con-full round-button e-flex e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e367306\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\" href=\"https:\/\/leonidou.alexandros.aboutdev.gr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/tenontitida-768x768-1.png\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f710c9 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"1f710c9\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Infographic<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-cffa9ad elementor-widget__width-auto elementor-view-default elementor-widget elementor-widget-icon\" data-id=\"cffa9ad\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"icon.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-icon\">\n\t\t\t<svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"55\" height=\"8\" viewBox=\"0 0 55 8\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M54.3614 4.03568C54.5566 3.84042 54.5566 3.52384 54.3614 3.32858L51.1794 0.146596C50.9841 -0.0486665 50.6675 -0.0486665 50.4723 0.146596C50.277 0.341858 50.277 0.658441 50.4723 0.853703L53.3007 3.68213L50.4723 6.51056C50.277 6.70582 50.277 7.0224 50.4723 7.21766C50.6675 7.41293 50.9841 7.41293 51.1794 7.21766L54.3614 4.03568ZM0 3.68214L1.1259e-07 4.18214L54.0078 4.18213V3.68213V3.18213L-1.1259e-07 3.18214L0 3.68214Z\" fill=\"#3D4D55\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-9632163 color-scheme-inherit text-left elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"9632163\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div id=\"apotherapia\" class=\"anchor simple\"><div class=\"grid-container\"><h2><strong>Recovery and Rehabilitation After Arthroscopy<\/strong><\/h2><p>At the end of surgery, the patient may use crutches.
