What is Meniscus Repair Surgery?

Meniscus repair surgery is a procedure to treat tears of the meniscus — the C-shaped cartilage in the knee that acts as a cushion between the thigh bone (femur) and shin bone (tibia). The goal of the surgery is to preserve as much of the natural meniscus as possible to protect the knee joint and prevent long-term damage.

When is Meniscus Repair Surgery Needed?

Your doctor may recommend meniscus repair if:
👉 You have a tear in the outer part of the meniscus (where blood supply is better)
👉 The tear causes pain, swelling, or knee locking
👉 You want to preserve your knee cartilage and avoid future arthritis
👉 You have associated ligament injuries (e.g., ACL tear) requiring combined surgery

How is Meniscus Repair Surgery Done?

Arthroscopic (keyhole) surgery is used for most meniscus repairs
Small instruments and a camera are inserted through tiny incisions
The torn meniscus is stitched back together using specialized sutures or devices
