Arthroscopic Meniscus Repair
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.
Meniscal root tears are serious injuries where the meniscus detaches from its anchor point. These tears behave like complete meniscus loss and rapidly increase arthritis risk.
Root repair restores function and protects the knee joint from early degeneration.
FAQs
What is the difference between repair and removal?
Meniscus Repair preserves tissue, while Meniscectomy removes damaged parts.
Do all meniscus tears need surgery?
Symptomatic tears may require Meniscus Repair and Meniscectomy.
Can meniscus tear cause arthritis?
Yes, untreated tears may worsen cartilage damage, linking to Cartilage Restoration Procedures.
Is recovery fast after meniscus surgery?
Meniscectomy recovers quicker than repair.
Can meniscus injury occur with ACL tear?
Very commonly, requiring ACL Reconstruction.
Why is root repair important?
Meniscal Root Repair prevents rapid arthritis progression.
Is root tear worse than a simple meniscus tear?
Yes, root tears are more damaging than typical Meniscus Repair and Meniscectomy.
Who needs root repair surgery?
Active patients with confirmed root tear benefit most.
Can root tears cause cartilage damage?
Yes, often linking to Cartilage Restoration Procedures.
What if arthritis is already advanced?
Severe arthritis may require Minimally Invasive Total Knee Replacement (TKR).
