The swelling time after arthroscopic surgery needs to be judged according to the specific situation. Due to the different physical conditions and injuries, the recovery time is also different, and it usually takes 2~4 weeks for the swelling to go down.
Arthroscopic surgery is suitable for various diseases of the joints, such as meniscus injury, cruciate ligament rupture, synovitis, frozen shoulder, etc. It is a kind of minimally invasive surgery, which has less bleeding, relatively quicker recovery, and less postoperative pain.
The swelling time after the surgery needs to be judged according to the specific situation, and it usually takes 2~4 weeks for the swelling to go down. For the young people who are in better physical condition and have no underlying diseases, the swelling will go down faster, and for the older people who are in poorer physical condition, with lower protein content, poor blood circulation or combined with infections, the swelling will go down more slowly.
If the swelling after arthroscopy continues to be unrelieved, it is recommended to consult a doctor in time and under the guidance of a professional doctor.
