Meniscal repair surgery

Repairing the knee's shock absorber

A meniscus tear is an injury to the cartilage in the knee, which causes pain, swelling, and stiffness in the joint. You might feel a pop when the injury happens, or the knee might feel as if it is locking or that you’re unable to fully extend it. If you’re an athlete, this injury can be devastating, so it’s good to know there are now surgeries available that can help you get back on your feet.

If you are experiencing knee pain, talk to an expert. With short waiting times, our specialist Knee Surgery Unit can provide faster access to exceptional diagnostics and treatment.

Meniscal repair surgery questions answered

A meniscus tear can be caused by a sudden twisting in the knee or through small tears that happen over time. You might experience an injury to the medial meniscus (inner side of the knee) or lateral meniscus (outer side). More injuries occur in the medial meniscus than the lateral, as it is attached to the medial collateral ligament, which doesn’t allow for as much movement.

Treatment for a meniscal tear depends on the size, location, and type of injury, as well as your individual needs.
