A member asked:
Is it safe to have arthoscopic surgery after total knee replacement?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Not sure if you mean the same knee or not. The opposite knee is not a problem. Occasionally it is appropriate to do an arthoscopy of the replaced joint for scar tissue. Always worried about any surgery in presence of a total joint replacement.
