Meniscus Tear

Meniscus tear surgery is performed to repair or remove a damaged meniscus. This is the C-shaped cartilage in the knee that acts as a cushion and stabilizer. This surgery, often performed arthroscopically, involves inserting a small camera and surgical instruments through small incisions around the knee. Depending on the severity of the tear, the surgeon may cut out the damaged part or stitch it up. Surgery for meniscus tears aims to relieve pain, restore knee function, and prevent further damage to the joints. Postoperative rehabilitation is critical to regain strength, flexibility, and mobility and help patients return to their daily activities and sports.
