Diagnosis begins with a detailed clinical examination by an orthopedic surgeon. An MRI scan is usually recommended to confirm the tear and assess its severity. X-rays may also be performed to rule out fractures or arthritis.
What is Meniscus Repair Surgery?
Meniscus repair is a minimally invasive arthroscopic procedure in which the torn meniscus is stitched back together instead of removing it. Using a tiny camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments inserted through small incisions, the surgeon repairs the damaged cartilage while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible.
