Understanding the Procedure
Repair may be considered depending on the tear location, pattern, tissue quality and associated injuries. Not all meniscus tears can be repaired.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
Repair generally requires more protection and a longer rehabilitation process than partial meniscectomy. Weight-bearing and motion restrictions depend on the repair.
