Depends: This really depends on what type of procedure is being performed through arthroscopy. If is a relatively simple procedure such as a partial meniscectomy and the patient is reasonably fit, then the answer is most likely yes. Talk with your surgeon.

1-2 weeks: Depending on the type of work done , sedentary jobs can return to work within a few days, active jobs may require a bit more time and babying. Sutures (if used) usually come out in 7- 14 days so i recommend waiting till they come out. It there is no associated knee problem (arthritis) the biggest hinderamnce to returning to work is the muscle weakness associated with the tear.
