In the case of knee arthroscopy, it cannot be clearly stated that it will return to full fitness after 7 or 10 days. How long the rehabilitation will take and when the patient will be able to return to work after arthroscopy largely depends on the type of arthroscopy performed and the patient's involvement in the rehabilitation process. Much faster recovery after arthroscopy, which involves the removal of a free body, partial removal of the meniscus or synovial fold, than after repair and reconstructive procedures. Usually, loading the joint is possible already 7 days after the procedure, and the crutches can be put aside after a period of 2-3 weeks. Recovery from arthroscopy usually takes about 3-12 weeks.
