Eon Productions
said he had had a "minor procedure" in New York during a break in
production over Easter.
A spokeswoman
denied reports the 47-year-old had missed several days of filming on the 24th
Bond film, Spectre.
"During a
scheduled break, Daniel Craig had arthroscopic surgery to repair his knee
injury. He will rejoin production on April 22nd at Pinewood," she said.
Filming on
Spectre began at Pinewood Studios, in Buckinghamshire, last December, and has
since moved to Rome and Mexico.
It is Craig's
fourth outing as the secret service agent, and follows the success of 2012's
Skyfall, which made $1.1 billion (£737 million) worlwide.
The film
features Christoph Waltz playing a character called Oberhauser - which, in the
novels, is the name of Bond's former skiing instructor. However, it has been
rumoured the actor will be revealed as Bond's old nemesis, Ernst Stavro
Blofeld.
Blofeld was the
"number one" in Spectre, an international crime syndicate which last
featured in the Sean Connery-era films.
The shady
organisation also counted the metal-handed scientist Dr Julius No and
eyepatch-wearing Emilio Largo amongst its villainous ranks.
