Because arthroscopy is a minimally invasive surgery, both stifle (knee) joints can be examined and treated arthroscopically at one surgery. Due to the small surgical sites of 3mm diameter there is greatly reduced post operative pain compared to open joint surgery so most dogs are walking on the operated legs immediately after surgery, and recover more quickly that after open surgery.

Effective pain medications are given intra-articularly immediately post op and followed up with injectable and oral medications for several days

Stifle (knee) arthroscopy is useful for assessing injury to the menisci and cruciate ligaments and in the treatment of OCD of the femoral condyle.
