Hi, I am due to have keyhole surgery on my right knee. After suffering numerous flare ups over the last few years due to arthritis and also bleeding into the joint I am having keyhole surgery to "clean out" the joint. Has anyone had this done before and was it beneficial.

I had this ( debridment) to my right knee in March 2017. Recovery took close to 6 months, especially the swelling. I now have no trouble at all. Only lost a small amount of ROM so I can't fully squat. But other than that, all good.
Good luck with yours.

Hi, i had this done 4 years before my TKR and it did help. Due to osteoarthritis my cartilage had been crushed, my surgeon repaired this through keyhole surgery and my leg was good for 4 years after the keyhole surgery. Good luck
