What is Meniscus Repair?
Meniscus repair is a surgical procedure to fix a torn meniscus, the cartilage in the knee that acts as a cushion between the thigh bone and shin bone. Using minimally invasive arthroscopy, the torn meniscus is stitched or reattached, promoting natural healing, preserving knee anatomy, and restoring stability and mobility for long-term joint health.
Benefits of Meniscus Repair
Meniscus repair offers significant advantages for patients with torn knee cartilage. By preserving the natural meniscus, patients benefit from improved joint stability, reduced pain, and enhanced long-term knee health. Key benefits include:
- Preserves the natural meniscus, reducing the risk of early arthritis and joint degeneration.
- Restores knee stability and improves overall mobility for daily activities and sports.
- Minimally invasive arthroscopic technique ensures smaller incisions, less pain, and faster recovery.
- Helps patients return safely to sports, exercise, and active lifestyle.
- Promotes long-term joint health by maintaining natural cushioning and shock absorption in the knee.
Recovery and Outcomes
- Early recovery focuses on gentle knee movement and gradual restoration of flexibility.
- Physiotherapy is essential to strengthen muscles and restore full knee function.
- Patients can usually walk with support within 1–2 weeks, depending on the extent of repair.
- Return to sports and high-impact activities is generally possible within 3–6 months, following rehabilitation.
- Successful meniscus repair restores knee stability, reduces pain, and preserves long-term joint health.
