Factors Influencing Duration

The associated procedure, underlying diagnosis, amount of joint swelling, and postoperative pain affect the disability period. Any complication of the procedure or the underlying condition would add disability time. Some procedures associated with arthroscopy require extensive rehabilitation for recovery. Functional activities and weight bearing may also be restricted for several weeks after surgery, especially in procedures on the lower extremities and shoulders. Even if the arthroscope is used for diagnostic purposes only, there will be temporary stiffness following the procedure.
