Meniscus Repair
Meniscus Repair is a minimally invasive surgical procedure to fix a torn meniscus — the C-shaped cartilage in the knee that cushions and stabilizes the joint. Meniscus tears often occur due to sports injuries, sudden twisting movements, or age-related degeneration, leading to pain, swelling, and restricted knee movement.


When Meniscus Repair is Needed
- Persistent knee pain and swelling
- Locking or catching sensation in the knee
- Restricted mobility and instability
- Tears caused by sports injuries or accidents
- To prevent long-term complications like arthritis
Common Causes
- Falls from height or accidents
- Sports injuries
- Direct impact or trauma
- Osteoporosis or weak bones
- Motor vehicle accidents
Treatments
- Immobilization with cast or splint
- Pain management with medications
- Reduction (realigning the bone) if displaced
- Surgery with plates, screws, or rods (if severe)
- Physical therapy for rehabilitation
