All depends on what's being done.
Major ligament repair - a few days (depending). General tidyup and cartlidge repair, the physio will have you up and down the stars within 2-3 hours.
It will probably ache for a day or two depending how much digging the do.

when you say arthroscopy, do you mean "having a look" rather than carrying out repairs?
I've had it, they made a small hole each side above the kneecap, inflated it with saline and poked a small camera inside.
No ill effect that I can see, and one stitch in each hole. The holes less than a quarter inch across. I was not paying attention at the time for other reasons.

The consultant said I have torn cartilage, slight damage to the tendon and a cyst caused by damage.
I've had an MRI so i'm assuming he will be repairing the damage, he had the scan of my knee up on his computer and was pointing to different parts.
Well from the replies it sounds like the recovery should be pretty quick!

Could be time for a good old knees up 
I twisted it in work one night, no pain until about 6 hours later.
I used to play rugby and he has told me the damage has been there a while, but since I twisted it, it has just got worse and now needs sorting.
