What is Arthroscopic Meniscus Treatment ?
Arthroscopic meniscus repair is a surgical procedure to repair torn knee cartilage. It is a minimally invasive procedure and involves either meniscus removal or meniscus repair. This surgery is required if the symptoms do not resolve with non-surgical treatments.
Surgery is performed using arthroscopy. A tiny camera is inserted and the surgeon is able to view the inside of the knee in the video monitor. Only small incisions are made. In meniscus removal, small instruments known as shavers or scissors are used to remove the torn meniscus. Depending on the extent of the tear, the torn meniscus will either be pinned or sutured.
Meniscus replacement surgery involves the replacement of a torn cartilage with the donor cartilage or a cultured patch obtained from the laboratory. It is a treatment option for patients who have undergone meniscus removal but with no successful result.
