Understanding the Procedure
The surgeon uses small instruments and a camera to trim unstable tissue while preserving as much healthy meniscus as possible. Whether surgery is appropriate depends on symptoms, tear pattern, arthritis and response to nonsurgical care.
Recovery and Rehabilitation
Patients often begin walking soon after surgery, but return to activity depends on symptoms, swelling, strength and their surgeon’s rehabilitation plan.
Discuss Your Treatment Options
A consultation can help determine whether nonoperative treatment or surgery is appropriate for your individual condition.
