Meniscus Repair and Meniscectomy
Meniscus surgery is performed when the knee’s shock-absorbing cartilage is torn. Repair is preferred when possible to preserve tissue, while meniscectomy removes damaged fragments when repair is not feasible.
Early treatment prevents further cartilage damage and reduces arthritis risk.
