It depends on the procedure. Certainly, it is for the conditions we discussed in the previous question. For those conditions not helped by arthroscopic surgery, it doesn’t matter how fast the recovery is if it merely returns the patient to their preoperative state. Remember, the name of the game is to recover well enough such that you don’t have to spend the rest of your life with our business card in you wallet indicating when your next appointment is!
