This surgery is a painful process that needs anesthesia. The type of anesthesia depends on your preference. It may be general anesthesia or spinal anesthesia. General anesthesia makes you unconscious whereas spinal anesthesia leaves you conscious but unable to feel the pain from your waist down. 

To avoid post-surgical infection, you will be provided an intravenous antibiotic before, during and after the surgery procedure. The doctor may also give a nerve block near the knee to numb it. It will wear off slowly after the procedure.
