Meniscus Repair
The meniscus is a C-shaped cartilage in the knee joint that acts as a cushion between the thigh bone (femur) and shin bone (tibia). It plays a vital role in shock absorption, joint stability, and smooth knee motion. A meniscus tear — often caused by sports injuries, twisting movements, or degeneration — can lead to pain, swelling, and restricted movement. Meniscus Repair surgery aims to restore the natural structure and function of this important cartilage rather than removing it.
Meniscus Repair Surgery
Whenever possible, preserving the meniscus is the priority. Using arthroscopic and minimally invasive surgical techniques, the torn section of the meniscus is carefully sutured and stabilized to promote natural healing. Advanced imaging and keyhole incisions allow precise visualization of the injury, resulting in a less invasive and highly effective repair.
Meniscus repair is ideal for patients who have tears along the outer edge of the cartilage where there is good blood supply, allowing natural healing. Compared to meniscus removal, this approach reduces the risk of early arthritis and helps maintain long-term joint health.
After the procedure, a guided rehabilitation program helps strengthen surrounding muscles, restore movement, and ensure complete recovery. Most patients experience significant pain relief, improved stability, and the ability to return to sports or daily activities with confidence and comfort.
