Meniscal Repair (Arthroscopic)
Restoring Knee Function with Precision and Care
The meniscus is a vital cushion in your knee joint that absorbs shock and provides stability during movement. A meniscal tear is one of the most common knee injuries, especially among athletes, active individuals, and older adults.
At our orthopedic center, we specialize in Arthroscopic Meniscal Repair — a minimally invasive surgical technique that restores the natural function of the knee, helping patients return to daily activities and sports with comfort and confidence.
Understanding the Meniscus
Each knee has two C-shaped cartilage structures — the medial and lateral meniscus — that act as shock absorbers between the thighbone and shinbone. Tears can occur due to twisting injuries, sports trauma, or age-related wear and tear.
Common symptoms include knee pain, swelling, locking, stiffness, and difficulty bending or straightening the leg.
What Is Arthroscopic Meniscal Repair?
Arthroscopic Meniscal Repair is performed using a small camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments inserted through tiny incisions around the knee. The surgeon visualizes the tear on a screen and uses sutures or anchors to reattach and stabilize the torn meniscus tissue.
Because it’s minimally invasive, this approach causes less tissue damage, leads to faster recovery, and preserves as much healthy cartilage as possible — maintaining long-term joint health.
Benefits of Arthroscopic Meniscal Repair
Small incisions and minimal scarring
Reduced postoperative pain and swelling
Faster recovery compared to open surgery
Preserves natural knee structure
Decreases risk of future arthritis
Early return to work, sports, and daily life
Whenever possible, preserving the natural meniscus is always preferable to removal (meniscectomy) — as it protects the joint and maintains knee stability.
When Is Surgery Recommended?
Arthroscopic meniscal repair is advised when:
You have a tear in the outer (vascular) zone of the meniscus, which can heal naturally after repair.
Symptoms persist despite rest, physiotherapy, or medications.
The tear interferes with knee movement, causing locking or instability.
Our orthopedic specialists assess each case with MRI scans and clinical evaluation to determine the most effective, joint-preserving solution.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
After surgery, most patients can walk with support within a few days. A brace or crutches may be used temporarily to protect the repair. Physiotherapy begins early to restore movement, strength, and flexibility. Full recovery typically occurs within 2–3 months, depending on the type of tear and the individual’s activity level.
