Why do get this surgery?

What does the surgeon do in the surgery?

Arthroscopic meniscectomy removes torn knee cartilage (meniscus) through tiny incisions, preserving healthy tissue. It’s used for injuries causing locking or swelling, often from sports twists. Surgeons trim damaged areas while sparing the meniscus’s shock-absorbing function, critical for preventing arthritis.
Outpatient procedures allow same-day discharge, with recovery in 4–6 weeks. Repair (vs. removal) is preferred for peripheral tears, boosting healing rates with newer “all-inside” suture devices.
