Arthroscopic Meniscus Repair
Arthroscopic meniscus repair is a minimally invasive surgical procedure used to treat tears or other damage to the meniscus, a C-shaped cartilage structure in the knee joint.
1
Arthroscopic Access
Small incisions are made around the knee joint to accommodate the arthroscope and surgical instruments.
2
Meniscus Assessment
The surgeon evaluates the meniscus tear using the arthroscope.
3
Repair Technique
Suturing, anchoring, or other specialized devices may be used to repair the torn meniscus tissue and restore stability.
4
Closure
Once repair is complete, the incisions are closed, and a sterile dressing is applied.
Benefits of
Surgery
Arthroscopic repair offers smaller incisions, less tissue trauma, and faster recovery compared to open surgery. Repairing the meniscus helps maintain its function and integrity, reducing the risk of long-term complications such as arthritis. Restoring the meniscus enhances joint stability and reduces the risk of further injury or degeneration.
