ARTHROSCOPIC MENISCUS SURGERY
BONE CARE CLINIC | DR. VINAY KUMARASWAMY | BANGALORE INDIA
The meniscus is a C-shaped piece of cartilage that sits between the femur (thigh bone) and the tibia (shin bone) in the knee joint. Its main function is to absorb shock and distribute weight evenly across the joint. Meniscus tears are a common injury, especially among athletes and active individuals, and they can cause pain, swelling, and limited mobility. Arthroscopic meniscus surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that can be used to repair or remove a torn meniscus. In this article, we will explore arthroscopic meniscus surgery in detail, including how it works, its benefits, and how our clinic and Dr. Vinay can help with this procedure.
What is Arthroscopic Meniscus Surgery?
Arthroscopic meniscus surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that is performed using an arthroscope, which is a small camera that is inserted into the knee joint through a small incision. The arthroscope allows the surgeon to see inside the joint and perform the surgery using small instruments that are also inserted through small incisions.
During arthroscopic meniscus surgery, the surgeon will typically make two or three small incisions around the knee joint. The arthroscope is then inserted through one of the incisions, and the surgeon uses the camera to visualize the inside of the joint. The surgeon will then use small instruments to either repair or remove the torn meniscus, depending on the extent of the injury.

Benefits of Arthroscopic Meniscus Surgery
Arthroscopic meniscus surgery has several potential benefits for patients with meniscus tears. These include:
-
Minimally Invasive: Arthroscopic meniscus surgery is a minimally invasive procedure that typically results in less pain, swelling, and scarring than traditional open surgery.
-
Faster Recovery Time: Because arthroscopic meniscus surgery is minimally invasive, patients typically experience a faster recovery time than with traditional open surgery.
-
Improved Range of Motion: Arthroscopic meniscus surgery can help to improve range of motion in the knee joint by removing or repairing the torn meniscus.
-
Reduced Risk of Complications: Because arthroscopic meniscus surgery is minimally invasive, there is a reduced risk of complications such as infection or bleeding.
-
Outpatient Procedure: Arthroscopic meniscus surgery is typically an outpatient procedure, which means that patients can go home the same day as the surgery.
