When to Call the Doctor after Arthroscopic surgery

The arthroscopic surgery procedure has minimal complications. But there might be some complications you can face like infection, excessive bleeding or swelling, blood clots, and damage to the blood vessels or nerves. If you are having some problems, then you should consult your surgeon right away.

You should call your doctor if you are having any of these symptoms:

  • Fever
  • Pain that gets worse
  • Severe swelling
  • Numbness or tingling
  • Discolored or smelly fluid seeping from the wound
