A meniscal tear can happen due to sudden knee injuries or wear and 
tear as we age. The meniscus is a crucial part of the knee, acting as a 
shock absorber and preventing damage to the cartilage. When it tears, 
it may cause swelling, discomfort, or knee instability. Meniscal repair 
aims to stitch the damaged tissue back in place to restore its function 
and protect the knee joint.
What Does Meniscal Repair Surgery 
Involve?
• The surgeon creates small incisions to insert a camera into the 
knee joint, allowing a detailed examination of the tear.
•  If possible, the torn meniscus is stitched back into place to 
preserve its shock-absorbing function. This is preferred over 
meniscal resection to maintain knee health.
• In some cases, if the tear cannot be repaired, the damaged part of 
the meniscus is removed to alleviate pain, but this reduces the 
knee's ability to absorb shock and may lead to faster cartilage 
wear.
