Meniscus Surgery
Preserving the knee's natural shock absorbers through advanced biological repair or minimalist trimming.
Meniscus Surgery
The meniscus is a specialized C-shaped cartilage that acts as a vital shock absorber between your thighbone and shinbone. Dr. Ravi Teja's philosophy is always 'Save the Meniscus.' We utilize minimally invasive arthroscopic techniques to either repair the tear using advanced suturing (Inside-Out or All-Inside techniques) or perform a partial meniscectomy to trim only the unstable fragments. Preserving as much healthy meniscus as possible is critical, as the lateral meniscus handles up to 70% of the joint's load. Success in meniscus surgery depends on the tear's location (Red-zone vs. White-zone) and the biological potential for healing.
Surgical Process
Diagnostic Audit
Using HD arthroscopy to evaluate the tear's stability and vascular potential.
Biological Preparation
Refreshing the tear edges to stimulate a localized healing response.
Anatomic Suturing
Precisely securing the meniscus back to its original position using specialized repair systems.
Rim Contouring
For non-repairable sections, precisely trimming the edges to prevent further propagation.
Patient Care
Recovery Roadmap
Recovery is tailored to the procedure. Meniscectomy patients often walk immediately and recover in 3-4 weeks. Meniscus repairs are more conservative, requiring 6 weeks of protected weight-bearing and a hinged brace to allow the biological tissue to heal securely. Full sports return typically occurs between 4-6 months.
Who Needs This Procedure?
Athletes with acute twisting injuries seeking to save their meniscus
Individuals experiencing knee locking, popping, or 'catching' sensations
Patients with persistent joint-line pain that worsens with activity
Young patients wishing to prevent rapid-onset 'post-meniscectomy' arthritis
Individuals with degenerate tears that contribute to recurring joint swelling
