The meniscus acts as a cushion in the knee joint, protecting cartilage and ensuring smooth movement. When torn, it can lead to swelling, pain, and restricted motion. At Rapha Sports and Regenerative Orthopaedics in Bengaluru, headed by Dr. Joel Prasad, meniscus surgery is performed to repair the damaged portion of cartilage, helping patients regain stability and prevent further knee damage.
A meniscus tear can occur due to sports injuries, sudden twisting motions, or age-related degeneration. Without proper treatment, the condition may worsen and lead to early arthritis or chronic pain. Surgery, often minimally invasive, helps preserve as much healthy cartilage as possible, ensuring better long-term joint health.
Recovery involves guided physiotherapy to rebuild strength and restore balance. Patients who undergo timely meniscus surgery often return to their normal lifestyle with improved function and reduced risk of recurrence.
If you are struggling with knee pain or stiffness, it may be time to consult an expert and explore advanced surgical solutions.
