Meniscus Repair Surgery is often recommended when the knee's natural shock-absorbing cartilage becomes torn. Meniscus injuries can occur during sports activities, sudden twisting movements, or even routine actions in individuals with age-related degeneration. Although common, these injuries should not be ignored.
Many patients initially experience clicking sensations, swelling, knee locking, or discomfort while walking. Some continue their normal activities despite symptoms, assuming the issue will resolve on its own. However, untreated meniscus damage can affect joint stability and potentially increase the risk of future cartilage wear.
Dr. Prajyot Jagtap carefully assesses the type, location, and severity of the tear before recommending treatment. Whenever possible, preserving the natural meniscus is preferred because it plays a crucial role in protecting knee joint health. Treatment decisions are based on factors such as age, activity level, and overall knee condition.
Advancements in arthroscopic techniques have improved the ability to repair meniscal injuries with greater precision. Rehabilitation remains an important component of recovery, helping patients rebuild strength, flexibility, and confidence in their movement.
In Chandivali, where active living often involves walking, commuting, and recreational activities, healthy knees support independence and long-term mobility. Addressing knee injuries early can help protect joint function for years to come.
If you are experiencing knee pain, swelling, or instability, connect with Dr. Prajyot Jagtap for a detailed evaluation and guidance on the most appropriate treatment options.
