Meniscus Repair & Reconstruction
A minimally invasive arthroscopic procedure used to treat a torn meniscus—the vital, shock-absorbing cartilage in your knee. By repairing the tear or reconstructing damaged tissue, this surgery preserves knee mechanics and prevents long-term joint wear.

When is Meniscus Surgery Recommended?
A doctor may recommend a repair or reconstruction if you experience:
Acute Meniscal Tears
Sudden tears caused by forceful twisting or pivoting during sports.
A "Locked" Knee
When a torn piece of cartilage folds into the joint, making it impossible to straighten the leg.
Degenerative Tears
Fraying or tearing of weakened cartilage due to aging that causes persistent pain.
Preserving Cartilage
Cases where the tear is in the "red zone" (good blood supply) and can be stitched together rather than removed.
Why Repair the Meniscus?
Recovery & Rehabilitation Timeline
Rest & Protection
You may need to wear a brace and use crutches to limit weight-bearing and protect the fresh stitches in the cartilage.
Restoring Mobility
Weight-bearing increases. Physiotherapy focuses on regaining full range of motion and strengthening the leg muscles.
Full Activity
Return to heavy lifting, deep squatting, and high-impact sports once the surgeon gives clearance.
Life After Meniscus Surgery
Smooth Movement
Bend and straighten your knee freely without any catching or locking.
Pain-Free Squatting
Get down on the floor to play with kids or do chores effortlessly.
Swelling Eliminated
Say goodbye to the chronic fluid buildup and stiffness in your knee.
Active Aging
Maintain a healthy, active lifestyle while protecting your joint health.
