Although full recovery from arthroscopic surgery may take a few weeks, I was relieved of the pain caused by my torn meniscus immediately after surgery. I was able to walk the day of surgery and was only inconvenienced a few days as all postop patients need some rest to recover from the trauma of invasive surgery.
Each cryogenic liquid has its own specific properties but most cryogenic liquids can be placed into one of three groups: 1  Inert Gases: Inert gases do not react chemically to any great extent. 2  They do not burn or support combustion. 3  Examples of this group are nitrogen, helium, neon, argon and krypton.
A liquid is a nearly incompressible fluid that conforms to the shape of its container but retains a (nearly) constant volume independent of pressure. As such, it is one of the four fundamental states of matter (the others being solid, gas, and plasma), and is the only state with a definite volume but no fixed shape. A liquid is made up of tiny vibrating particles of matter, such as atoms, held together by intermolecular bonds. Water is, by far, the most common liquid on Earth. Like a gas, a liquid is able to flow and take the shape of a container. Most liquids resist compression, although others can be compressed.
