Restore Knee Function and Relieve Pain with Advanced Arthroscopic Techniques
Are you experiencing knee pain, swelling, or instability due to a meniscus tear? Dr. Aashish Arbat, a leading orthopedic surgeon in Pune, specializes in arthroscopic meniscus repair surgery, offering patients effective solutions to regain mobility and improve quality of life.
Understanding Meniscus Tears
The meniscus is a C-shaped cartilage in the knee that acts as a shock absorber between the thighbone and shinbone. Each knee has two menisci: medial (inner) and lateral (outer). Tears can result from sudden twists, heavy lifting, or degenerative changes, leading to symptoms like:
- Pain and swelling
- Stiffness and limited motion
- Locking or catching sensation
- Instability or giving way of the knee
Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial to prevent further joint damage.
What is Arthroscopic Meniscus Repair?
Arthroscopic meniscus repair is a minimally invasive surgical procedure that uses a small camera (arthroscope) and specialized instruments to repair the torn meniscus. This technique allows for precise repair with minimal tissue disruption, leading to faster recovery and better outcomes.
Types of Meniscus Tears Suitable for Repair:
- Vertical longitudinal tears
- Peripheral tears with good blood supply
- Root tears
- Tears associated with ligament injuries
In cases where the tear is irreparable, a partial meniscectomy may be performed to remove the damaged portion while preserving as much healthy tissue as possible
