Meniscus Tear & Meniscus Repair

Advanced Treatment for Knee Stability & Long-Term Joint Health

What is a Meniscus Tear?

The meniscus is a C-shaped cartilage in the knee that acts as a shock absorber between the thigh bone (femur) and shin bone (tibia).** A tear in the meniscus can cause pain, swelling, and limited movement of the knee.

Common Causes:

  • Sudden twisting
  • Trauma or impact injuries
  • Age-related wear and tear
Symptoms of a Meniscus Tear
  • Pain in the knee joint, especially when twisting or rotating.
  • Swelling and stiffness within hours or days.
  • Clicking, popping, or locking sensation when moving.
  • Difficulty straightening or bending the knee fully.
  • Feeling of knee instability or "giving way."
Types of Meniscus Tears
  • Radial Tear – Most common, occurring in the inner cartilage.
  • Bucket Handle Tear – Large tear causing knee locking.
  • Flap Tear – A loose cartilage flap affecting movement.
  • Degenerative Tear – Occurs due to aging and wear.

What is Meniscus Repair?

Meniscus repair is a surgical procedure used to fix a torn meniscus (a C-shaped cartilage in the knee) by stitching the torn edges back together. This helps restore knee stability, prevent future joint degeneration, and maintain long-term knee health.

Unlike a meniscectomy, where the damaged part of the meniscus is removed, meniscus repair aims to preserve as much of the natural cartilage as possible, reducing the risk of arthritis and improving knee function.

Benefits of Meniscus Repair Surgery
  • Preserves natural knee cartilage – Reduces future arthritis risk.
  • Restores knee function – Improves stability and mobility.
  • Long-term joint health – Prevents progressive damage.
  • Minimally invasive – Small incisions and faster healing.
Arthroscopic Meniscus Repair Surgery
  • Step 1: Small incisions are made, and an arthroscope (tiny camera) is inserted.
  • Step 2: The surgeon uses sutures or anchors to repair the meniscus.
  • Step 3: The knee is flushed, and incisions are closed with stitches or surgical strips.
  • Step 4: The patient is discharged the same day with a knee brace and rehab plan.
