2 DaysThe meniscus is a crescent-shaped cartilage in the knee that acts as a cushion between the thighbone and shinbone. Injuries to the meniscus are common, especially among athletes or individuals engaged in strenuous activities. Meniscus surgery is a procedure aimed at repairing or removing the damaged portion of this cartilage to restore knee functionality and alleviate pain.
Meniscus injuries often result from activities that involve twisting or sudden pivoting of the knee, such as sports. Aging and wear-and-tear can also lead to degenerative meniscus tears, making even minor movements a potential cause for injury.
A damaged meniscus can cause swelling, stiffness, and a locking sensation in the knee. Many patients report difficulty in fully straightening or bending the knee. Persistent pain that interferes with daily activities often prompts the need for surgical intervention.

Meniscus surgery is typically performed arthroscopically, a minimally invasive technique using a tiny camera and specialized instruments. The surgeon makes small incisions around the knee to access the joint, repair, or remove the torn cartilage. The procedure is generally completed within one to two hours, depending on the complexity of the tear.
Recovery from meniscus surgery varies based on the type of procedure. Meniscus repair typically requires a longer healing period, with patients advised to limit weight-bearing activities for several weeks. Physical therapy plays a crucial role in regaining strength, flexibility, and knee stability. Meniscectomy patients usually recover faster, with most resuming normal activities within four to six weeks.
