Meniscus Repair
Meniscus Repair
Meniscus Repair Surgery is a specialized procedure to treat tears or damage in the knee meniscus — the C-shaped cartilage that cushions and stabilizes the knee joint. Instead of removing the torn part, repair techniques aim to preserve the meniscus, ensuring better long-term knee function and reducing the risk of arthritis.
When Meniscus Repair is Needed
- Meniscus tear due to sports injury or trauma
- Persistent knee pain, swelling, or stiffness
- Locking or catching sensation in the knee
- Difficulty bearing weight or limited knee motion
- Younger or active patients where preservation is possible
Types of Meniscus Treatments
- Arthroscopic Meniscus Repair: Minimally invasive keyhole surgery to stitch torn cartilage
- Partial Meniscectomy: Removal of the damaged portion if repair is not possible
- Meniscus Transplant (in select cases): Replacement with donor tissue for severe loss
