Minimally invasive keyhole surgery to diagnose and treat knee injuries — performed by British-trained orthopaedic & sports surgeon Dr. Mohammad Ashfaq Konchwalla, the best Dubai sports surgeon, at Medcare Hospital, Dubai.
Knee arthroscopy in Dubai is a minimally invasive orthopaedic surgery in which a tiny camera — called an arthroscope — and miniature surgical instruments are inserted into the knee joint through small incisions, each measuring just 0.5 to 1 cm. This approach allows Dr. Mohammad Ashfaq Konchwalla to see inside the joint with exceptional clarity on a high-definition monitor, enabling both precise diagnosis and targeted treatment in a single procedure.
Dr. Konchwalla has over 20 years of experience performing knee arthroscopy in Dubai, treating everyone from elite professional athletes to active recreational sportspeople and patients seeking relief from chronic knee pain. As a British-trained consultant in Dubai with FRCS qualifications and a sports knee injury specialist, he ensures adherence to the very highest clinical standards.
The majority of patients are discharged on the same day. Physiotherapy begins within days of surgery and is carefully structured around each patient's sport, lifestyle, and recovery goals — ensuring the safest and fastest possible return to full activity.

MRI scanning, X-rays, and a thorough physical examination identify the exact pathology. Dr. Konchwalla discusses all findings, treatment options, and what to expect — ensuring full informed consent before proceeding.
General or spinal anaesthesia is administered for a completely pain-free experience. The anaesthetic team monitors vital signs throughout. The type of anaesthesia is determined at the pre-operative assessment.
Two or three small incisions (0.5–1 cm) are made around the knee. The arthroscope provides clear HD visualisation inside the joint. Miniature instruments repair, remove, or reconstruct damaged structures with precision impossible in open surgery.
Incisions are closed with fine sutures or steri-strips. A light dressing is applied. The entire procedure typically takes between 45 and 90 minutes from incision to closure — depending on the complexity of findings.
Patients recover in the ward for a few hours before discharge. Detailed aftercare instructions are provided. Physiotherapy is arranged to begin within days of surgery, with a personalised programme built around your goals.
Recovery after knee arthroscopy depends on the specific procedure performed. Dr. Konchwalla provides every patient with a personalised rehabilitation plan — working closely with physiotherapists to ensure the safest and fastest return to sport and daily life.
