3 questions to ask before knee arthroscopy
Dr. K. Iyer · Reviewed by Practo Clinical Board · 4 min read · Updated Jun 2026
1. Have I really exhausted conservative care? Guidelines require 6–8 weeks of structured physiotherapy before arthroscopy for most meniscal tears. Ask for your physio record — if you don't have one, that's your answer.
2. What does my MRI actually show? Degenerative tears in patients over 40 often do as well without surgery. Ask whether your tear is traumatic or degenerative.
3. What will this cost, all-in? Quotes routinely exclude implants, anaesthesia and rehab. Demand an all-in price — or lock one.

"MRI says complex meniscal tear — doctor wants surgery next week. Is that too fast?"
Dr. R. Krishnan VERIFIED · ORTHO · 21 YRS
Answer checked against HUB clinical content
Unless the knee is locked or there's a bucket-handle tear, most guidelines ask for 6–8 weeks of structured physiotherapy before arthroscopy. "Next week" without conservative care attempted is worth a second look. Ask for the guideline criteria your case meets — a good surgeon will show you.
