This procedure involves the use of small instruments and a camera (arthroscope) to repair the torn meniscus. It is typically recommended for younger, active patients to restore the natural cushioning in the knee joint. The goal is to reduce pain, maintain joint stability, and prevent long-term complications like arthritis.

What Is It?

Arthroscopic Meniscal Repair is a surgical technique used to sew together the torn edges of the meniscus, rather than removing it.

Symptoms Treated

• Knee pain following a twisting injury.
• Swelling and stiffness.
• Locking or catching sensation in the knee.

Postoperative Care

• Use of crutches for 2–6 weeks to protect the repair.
• Physiotherapy to restore range of motion and strengthen the knee.
• Gradual return to weight-bearing and physical activity.

Risks and Complications

• Infection at the surgical site.
• Failure of the repair, requiring additional surgery.
• Stiffness or reduced range of motion.
