Understanding Meniscus Injuries

The meniscus is a crucial structure in the knee that acts as a shock absorber, providing stability and cushioning between the thighbone and shinbone. A torn meniscus is a common knee injury that can cause pain, swelling, and restricted movement. At Vedant Hospital, Gota, Dr. Amish Shah, a highly experienced orthopedic doctor, specializes in meniscus repair surgery to restore knee function and help patients regain an active lifestyle.

What is Meniscus Repair?

Meniscus repair is a surgical procedure aimed at preserving and restoring the damaged meniscus rather than removing it. This approach promotes long-term knee health, reducing the risk of arthritis and improving joint stability. The procedure is often performed arthroscopically, using minimally invasive techniques for faster recovery and reduced discomfort.

When is Meniscus Repair Needed?

Meniscus repair is recommended when:

The tear is in the outer portion of the meniscus (where blood supply is sufficient for healing).
The knee experiences pain, locking, or instability due to the tear.
The patient is young or active, making preservation of the meniscus crucial for long-term joint health.
The injury is repairable rather than requiring a full or partial meniscectomy (removal of the meniscus).

Meniscus Repair Procedure at Vedant Hospital

At Vedant Hospital, Gota, Dr. Amish Shah uses advanced arthroscopic techniques to repair the meniscus with precision and minimal tissue disruption. The procedure typically involves:

Diagnosis – A clinical evaluation along with MRI scans to assess the severity of the tear.
Arthroscopic Surgery – Small incisions are made, and a tiny camera (arthroscope) is inserted to guide the repair.
Suture Techniques – The torn meniscus is stitched back together, allowing it to heal naturally.
Rehabilitation – A personalized physiotherapy plan for faster recovery and long-term knee strength.

Recovery and Rehabilitation

Patients can typically return to their daily activities within a few weeks, but full recovery may take 3-6 months. Physical therapy plays a crucial role in regaining strength, mobility, and knee function. Dr. Amish Shah and his team provide comprehensive post-surgical care to ensure optimal healing.
