What about arthroscopic knee surgery on a that has been totally replaced?

Total knee replacement (TKR) is a surgical procedure in which the damaged or worn-out knee joint is replaced with artificial components. The components are typically made of metal and plastic and are designed to replicate the function of the natural knee.

Arthroscopic knee surgery is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that is used to diagnose and treat problems inside the knee joint. Arthroscopic surgery is performed using a small camera that is inserted into the knee joint through a small incision. The camera allows the surgeon to see inside the joint and to identify any problems. If necessary, the surgeon can also use the arthroscope to perform surgery on the joint.

Arthroscopic knee surgery can be performed on a knee that has been totally replaced, but it is not as common as performing arthroscopic knee surgery on a natural knee. This is because the artificial components of the knee joint can make it more difficult for the surgeon to see inside the joint and to perform surgery. However, arthroscopic knee surgery can still be a safe and effective way to treat certain problems in a knee that has been totally replaced.

Some of the problems that can be treated with arthroscopic knee surgery on a knee that has been totally replaced include:

* Scar tissue

* Inflammation

* Loose bodies

* Damage to the cartilage

* Failed total knee replacement

If you are experiencing any problems with your knee that has been totally replaced, your doctor may recommend arthroscopic knee surgery as a treatment option.
