Most meniscus tears are small, and the torn portion is removed, leaving
a smooth, stable surface. Occasionally, other problems are found during
arthroscopy, such as cartilage damage or loose fragments, and these may
also be treated during surgery. Certain meniscus tears must be repaired. Historically, during a meniscal
repair procedure, stitches were placed from the interior of the knee
outward, and incisions were made at the joint line to allow for tying of
the knots. In recent years, an instrument was introduced that includes
pre-loaded surgical implants that are absorbed in the body over time, as
well as a pre-tied knot. With this innovative device, meniscal repair can be
performed without the need for additional incisions. All information provided on this website is for information purposes only.
