Knee Arthroscopy · Tijuana
What Is Arthroscopy?
A pencil-sized high-definition camera is inserted into the joint through incisions of only 5 mm. It allows internal injuries to be diagnosed and treated with precision that open surgery cannot match.
- 3-5 mm incisions without large scars
- Real-time high-definition imaging
- Shorter hospital stay
- Significantly faster recovery
When Is It Recommended?
Arthroscopy is often recommended when conservative treatment such as physical therapy, medication, or rest has not resolved the problem, or when a definitive diagnosis is needed before a larger surgical decision.
Pain that does not improve after 6-8 weeks of conservative treatment.
A feeling that the joint gives way, shifts, or becomes locked.
A meniscus, ligament, or rotator cuff tear visible on MRI.
An injury preventing an athlete from safely returning to sport.

Frequently Asked Questions
Arthroscopy uses a miniature camera inserted through 3-5 mm incisions to view and treat the joint from within. Unlike open surgery, it does not require cutting through large areas of muscle or soft tissue, resulting in less postoperative pain, lower infection risk, and significantly faster recovery.
Recovery depends on the specific procedure. Joint debridement or loose-body removal may allow walking the next day. Meniscus repair or ACL reconstruction requires 3 to 6 months of progressive rehabilitation. Dr. Perea creates a personalized physical therapy protocol from the first days of recovery.
An MRI is not required for your first visit, although you should bring any recent X-rays, MRI scans, or ultrasound studies. At our arthroscopy clinic, the orthopedic specialist may request additional imaging to confirm the diagnosis before planning an intervention.
The type of anesthesia depends on the joint and procedure. Regional anesthesia, such as a spinal or nerve block, is often used to numb only the affected limb and avoid the risks of general anesthesia. The anesthesia team evaluates every patient individually for maximum comfort and safety.
