Meniscectomy
Articles and resources for Meniscectomy in Orthopedic Surgery.
Meniscectomy is a surgical procedure that involves the removal of all or part of a torn meniscus, which is a C-shaped cartilage in the knee that acts as a cushion between the thighbone and shinbone. Common reasons for considering this surgery include meniscus tears resulting from injury, degeneration due to aging, or conditions like osteoarthritis. Patients often experience knee pain, swelling, and limited mobility, prompting the need for surgical intervention to improve function and relieve discomfort.
The procedure is typically performed using minimally invasive techniques, such as arthroscopy, where small incisions are made, and a camera and tools are inserted into the knee joint. During the surgery, the surgeon assesses the meniscus and removes the damaged tissue. The operation usually lasts about an hour, and patients may be able to go home the same day. Post-operative recovery involves rest and rehabilitation to restore knee function and strength.
The benefits of a meniscectomy can include reduced pain, improved knee function, and enhanced quality of life. Many patients report significant relief from symptoms following the procedure. However, there are risks associated with surgery, such as infection, blood clots, or complications related to anesthesia. Additionally, removing part of the meniscus may increase the risk of developing arthritis in the future, making it essential for patients to discuss their individual circumstances with their healthcare provider.
